At 21 years old, Alla Bruletova is a celebrated singer, model, social media influencer, and entrepreneur. Alla has built a solid online following of over 1.5 million followers on Instagram and 2.5M on TikTok. She owns a clothing line, LookForever, and has worked with top modeling agencies. How did she achieve all this at such a young age? Alla shares her journey to the top with us.
Alla was born in a small town near Miami, where her journey started. According to the young model and singer, she developed an interest in modeling at a young age. Like many young kids, Alla admired the models she saw on screen and in magazines. She dreamed of walking the runway. However, Alla knew that making this dream a reality would not be easy.
She says that a lack of support and proper resources almost made her give up. Alla was born in a small town, and coming from such an area, making it in the big city seemed almost impossible. She also felt like she didn’t fit “modeling beauty standards.” Alla is 158 centimeters tall, and watching taller girls as successful models, she felt there was no place for her in the industry.
She is now using her platform to show young people and aspiring models that you can achieve anything you set your mind to and that you do not have to fit the norm. “Society will always have an idea of what they think is right or wrong,” says Alla. “But that doesn’t have to apply to you. You can make your own rules—you are the only author of your story.”
As a young person, Alla has encountered numerous roadblocks. Many people didn’t believe in her or her ideas as they felt she was too young. She also struggles with her parent’s separation. Alla’s parents separated when she was still young, which affected her greatly. She explains that it took her a huge amount of strength, motivation, and spirit to believe in herself and strive to succeed.
Despite the difficulties, Alla chose not to give up on her modeling passion, leading her to fashion. In 2020, Alla started her clothing brand LookForever, and today, she is a successful model and entrepreneur with a powerful brand.
She is sharing her story to encourage young girls and boys as she shows them that it is possible to start from nothing and build a fortune. The beauty standards society sets should also not make you hate your body.
Alla went from an ordinary girl from a small town with a dream to walk some of the biggest runways. She has featured in several shoots for Lamoda and other sites. Her brand, LookForever, is also doing great. But Alla’s journey is far from over. As she continues to flourish, she says her next goal is to grow her fashion design career and modeling brand. She is looking to start streaming on YouTube and TwitchTV. Alla equally has other music projects lined up.
Alla’s advice to young creators/entrepreneurs is to believe in themselves and not give up even when things get tough. “Not everything will work how you had planned,” says Alla. “But you can still move forward—you just have to make the decision.”
