 Sofia Mechetner for Dior Haute Couture Autumn-Winter 2015-2016 fashion show in Paris |
Mechetner is from Holon, Israel. She was chosen to be Dior's in-house model.[3] A series of co-incidences led her to be chosen by Dior's lead designer Raf Simons in Paris.[4] In her first contract for Dior (her first ever modeling job), she was paid over $265,000.[5] In 2015, her story was covered by a documentary on Israel's Channel 2 news, which described her being discovered as a Cinderella story.[6] Mechetner opened the Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 2015/2016 Show at Paris Fashion Week.
