Dreams Don’t Have Deadlines. But They Require Preparation, Dedication, and Hard Work to Become a Reality

By all counts, hiTechMODA’s first show in Paris was a complete success. One of the world’s foremost fashion capitals, the city was full of excitement, people, and fashion. Cafes were packed during this first fashion week with no restrictions since the pandemic. Travelers from around the world were in Paris for one reason, fashion.

While time on the runway was the main reason to be in Paris, models were there for more, including destination photoshoots. An exclusive photoshoot sponsored by Mariusz Michalak of mm.photoshoot, provided up-and-coming MODA models the ability to expand their portfolio with shoots throughout the streets of Paris and around the world’s most famous landmarks.

Even with long hours, large crowds, drizzling rain, and cool weather, Ishara Szczepkowski, Jose Laracuente, Liz Sollazzo, Madelyn Sharp, Madison Hafebier, Mike Bazar, along with Taj Cottage signature model, Christian Parker, proved they have what it takes to become a professional model, not just on the runway, but in front of the camera.
