Grounded Advice

Tonia credits her grounded approach to advice from a close confidant. "The best advice was given to me by a person very close to me: to always be grounded, not to underestimate anyone, and always to look at my own work. And that helped me a lot," she shares. This guidance has been instrumental in shaping her professional ethos.

Proud Collaborations

Among her various achievements, Tonia takes particular pride in her collaboration with a renowned Italian brand. "The best project I've done and I'm proud of it is my collaboration with a well-known Italian brand. And this collaboration also highlighted me abroad," she reveals, marking a significant milestone in her career.


Balancing Act

Success in the influencer realm requires a delicate balance between professional and personal life, a feat Tonia has managed with commendable diligence.

Fashion Insights

Staying informed about the latest in fashion and photography is crucial for Tonia, yet she remains true to herself. "I am informed by all social media about fashion and photography, but usually I follow my own opinion and line," she asserts, demonstrating her unique approach to her craft.
