DISCOVER THE INSPIRATIONAL UNIVERSE OF LENNY NIEMEYER

Meet Yana Trufanova

Model and friend of the brand

Yana is Russian and has been working as a model for 12 years. Her first editorial with the brand was SS of 2018 and it’s her favorite campaign yet. She feels Brazilian, loves nature, music, gastronomy, and of course, the energy that Brazil gives off.

The connection between Lenny and Yana happened from the get go: “After the first day, we had dinner and talked for hours about how fashion was born in Brazil. She was the first person to tell me the importance of a model knowing how to choose the jobs to build a long-lasting career… I was 22 years old, and no one had ever had a conversation like that with me. It was really special!”

“I came to spend New Year’s Eve from 2014 to 2015 in Brazil and stayed for 4 months. It was during this time that I learned to speak Portuguese. I’m so lucky here! I love the beach, so because I wake up early, I’ll always catch the first rays of the sun. I’ll go into the sea, drink coconut water and that just makes my day!”
