Shanina Shaik in Vogue (Australia)
Shanina’s mother is of Lithuanian and Australian heritage, while her father has Pakistani and Saudi Arabian roots. Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia she started modeling when she was 8 years old doing small catalogue gigs for Target and K-Mart, but stopped when she started high school and got accepted into an accelerated program, graduating a year before her classmates. People kept telling her to model, so at fifteen she entered the Girlfriend Model Competition, the same contest Abbey Lee Kershaw won years ago, but Shaik didn’t get very far.
