Twenty-four-year-old Henna Lintukangas began her career at a rather mature age for a model a year ago. The girl was born in Finland, where she grew up among siblings and stepbrothers. After school, she worked as a beautician, but realized that this was not her vocation. Henna dreamed of traveling, and having saved enough money, she went to South Asia. Returning to Finland, she went to the Modelboom agency, whose office was located next to her house. By the beginning of the spring-summer shows of last year, it was attached to the European branch of Ford.
Before the Paris Fashion Week, Henna practiced her heels for a long time. Having traveled kilometers from one end of the Ford office to the other, the girl developed a walk. As a result, her efforts were not in vain: in the first season she was picked up by Rick Owens, Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake and 8 more shows. Since then, Henna has worked in Paris for most of her career. In winter, she participated in a couture show Dany Atrache, and by the beginning of spring she went to the autumn-winter castings. This time she made 13 shows, among which were Givenchy, Viktor & Rolf and the brands she already worked with. Now Henna is preparing for a summer couture show.
