Ekaterina Sergeevna Grigorieva (Russian: Екатерина Сергеевна Григорьева; born 15 September 1989 in Olenegorsk[2] Murmansk Oblast, Russia), known professionally as Kate Grigorieva, is a Russian model.
Career
Born in Olenegorsk, Murmansk Oblast in 1989 to a military family, Grigorieva studied at the Murmansk State Technical University majoring in Marketing. She took part in the casting of Miss Russia 2010, but did not qualify.[3] The next attempt was made in Miss Russia 2012, where she represented Murmansk Oblast and placed among the top 10 finalists.[3] In 2012, Grigorieva also took part in the fourth edition of Russia's Next Top Model, becoming the runner-up of the contest.[1] She was soon signed to a modeling agency and traveled to New York.
2014 breakout year - present
After her appearance in Top Model, host Irina Shayk's agency The Lions displayed interest in signing her. This eventually led to Grigorieva's international stage debut at the 2014 Fall/Winter Fashion Week in New York, opening Donna Karan as a semi-exclsuive, and walking for Oscar de la Renta, Tory Burch, and Ralph Lauren. She has since graced the catwalks of Paris and Milan, walking for high fashion labels at Givenchy, Versace, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Celine, Isabel Marant, Nina Ricci, Elie Saab, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Giambattista Valli, Emanuel Ungaro, Moschino, Etro, Missoni, Emilio Pucci and others. She opened the 2015 Spring/Summer collections of Dsquared2 and Stella McCartney. By the end of 2014, Grigorieva was chosen by top modeling site models.com, as one of the best model discoveries of the season.[4] She has appeared in Ad campaigns for M Missoni, H&M and appeared in catalogs for Victoria's Secret.
Victoria's Secret
On December 2, 2014, Grigorieva made her debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014 along with fellow Miss Russia contestant and model, Irina Sharipova.[5] In April 2015, Kate was announced as one of ten new Victoria's Secret Angels alongside Lais Ribeiro, Romee Strijd, Monika Jagaciak, Jasmine Tookes, Martha Hunt, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell, Taylor Marie Hill and Elsa Hosk.[6]
