Hi from Kharkiv. I am back in the east of Ukraine. The city has a very young dynamic
and energetic atmosphere, especially at night, that's why I've come here with clients
especially this time of year before the summer season kicks off in the south in Odesa
So let's go and take a walk around Ukraine's second city, population of a million and a half,
on this glorious early spring afternoon. Поехали!
So what to do when it is raining outside here in Kharkiv in late spring/early summer?
Well, fortunately I've been invited by CIS Models to film at their castings
so doing that because I'll also have a series of videos about the modeling industry here in Eastern Europe
and how it relates to Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian models, Slavic models going abroad to markets like
Western Europe, North America and in Asia so all that's coming up and let's go and enjoy a little bit of filming here
at the casting ...
- And today is a special day because Conor from the UK is a filmmaker and is making a movie about modeling
fashion business in Slavic countries.
So here I'm in Shevchenko Park, they've actually been doing this up in Kharkiv and it's a lot nicer than it used to be
I'm seeing a little bit of progress while I was in Dnipro recently and they've done huge things to the city
and I was trying to make a comparison with Kharkiv and it's not the same level of improvement but they're getting there
So we're going to take a walk around on this kind of overcast late spring/early summer's day
and enjoy some of the progress here in Kharkiv, very nice right in the center, Park Shevchenko
