Nora Shopova, a Bulgarian model, has made a noticeable impact in the modeling industry within the United States. Still only 22 years of age, she has already been featured on the pages of Marie Claire, Harper’s Bazaar Bulgaria, Elle, Oyster and Gravure.
Shopova’s pretty eyes, gorgeous skin and impressive bone structure won her a contract on-the-spot after a friend introduced her to her agency. Since joining the modeling industry, she’s been forced to juggle that along with her aspiring career in the field of law.
In a recent WWD interview, she shared why she loves New York. Explaining, “The first time when I came here, I felt so uncomfortable. I was pretty young and this was my first trip. I didn’t like it at all. Now I love it. I live in a model apartment in Chelsea. I really like the neighborhood. I would love to have my own place. I always live with really nice girls, but there’s not much privacy. And everyone needs privacy. That’s the minus.”
Shopova says her favorite work was done with Marie Claire and Vogue. “When you work for such big companies, they really care for you and you give your best for them,” she said. “I’ve done some smaller campaigns and I hope I’m gonna do some nice campaigns in my near future.”
Shopova’s long-term goals include getting a tattoo, finding true love and visiting Greece.
