Ashika Pratt's Modeling Journey
Starting Her Career
Ashika Pratt began her modeling journey at a young age. When she was 15, a scout for beauty pageants noticed her. She entered the Miss and Mr Howick pageant and finished as the second runner-up. Even though she did well, Ashika decided that beauty pageants were not quite right for her.
However, this experience was still very helpful. Through the pageant, she met her first modeling agent at Nova Models. Her very first job was a TV commercial for Glassons, a clothing store in New Zealand. In the same year, Ashika also walked in her first fashion show on a runway.
Big Breaks and Magazine Covers
Working with Nova Models, Ashika quickly gained attention. She appeared on the covers of Yourself and Her Magazine. She also worked on advertisements for big brands like Mitsubishi.
Because of her Indian heritage, Ashika later signed with Anima Creatives, a modeling agency. This helped her career grow even more. She appeared on the cover of Indian Vogue and Femina magazines.
Fashion Editorials and Campaigns
Ashika has also been featured in many fashion stories, known as editorials. These appeared in popular magazines like Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Vogue, and Femina.
In 2010, Ashika was chosen to be part of the famous Kingfisher Calendar. This is a big achievement for models in India. She also participated in Lakme Fashion Week, a major fashion event.
Recognition and Success
Ashika's hard work and talent were noticed by many. In 2010, Vogue magazine included her in their Fashion Power List. Vogue described her as "the hottest new face in town." They praised her mix of being a "girl-next-door" and a "temptress," calling it a "winning combination."
In 2011, Ashika was once again featured on the cover of Vogue India. This special travel issue, shot in South Africa, was very popular and quickly sold out.
