She started to make some noise in the modeling game in 2012, as she had successful performances in two separate contests. Kate finished in the top 10 in that year’s Miss Russia competition, and she came in second place in the fourth cycle of Top Model po-russki. After getting signed to an agency, the high profile gigs started trickling in, and Kate would later walk runways for designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, and Balmain.
