Opis

A true story, from catwalk to prison.

Ivana grew up in a small village in Slovakia, thumbing through fashion magazines and dreaming of life as a model. Despite many obstacles, in 2008, she made it to London and began to work her way up in the fashion industry – modelling, booking models, and doing make-up and styling on photo-shoots. She worked hard and made it to be catwalk model for London Fashion Week. The city fashion and club scene was a far cry from quiet village life, and she loved every crazy minute of it: the glamour, the parties, the people…

Then she was offered a modelling job that would change her life. She was to be the lead model for a new, exciting collection. She flew out to Buenos Aires, delighted to get international work. However, the whole job was a set-up that cost her two years in a Parisian jail!

This book started as a diary that she wrote to help her get through each horrific day behind bars. Her brutally honest and deeply personal account of her rollercoaster journey lays the dangers of the fashion industry bare.
