The 24-year-old Mira grew up in Kosovo. Mira is now an aspiring fashion designer, now modeling for Yeezy, Kanye's clothing line.
Mira explained that a friend of her's mentioned Mira's clothing designs to West, and after browsing her Instagram, his rep contacted Mira. It read:
“Hey, on behalf of Kanye West, we would like to invite you to New York and possibly work with us.”![model4.jpg model4.jpg](/files/attach/images02/3004/585/264/015/model4.jpg)
Mira flew to New York and did a few castings and fittings. And now she's a model for him.
She said:
“He was very, very friendly. He’s a great guy, very inspiring. I respect anyone that works hard and follows their passion. I was quite surprised that he already knew who I was before I had even talked to him.”![model8.jpg model8.jpg](/files/attach/images02/3004/585/264/015/model8.jpg)
