Ilona Dmitrieva

Born in Russia and based in London for the past two decades, Ilona brings together professional confidence, natural elegance and an adventurous spirit. After building a successful career in the fast-moving world of City finance, she discovered modelling as a creative outlet — and quickly developed a genuine passion for being in front of the camera.
Her modelling work has appeared in fashion publications including Éclair, Marika, Malvie and Vigour, with shoots ranging from sophisticated editorial work to rather more extreme assignments. One particularly memorable project took place in temperatures of around –25°C, where the team had only brief windows to shoot before the cold affected both equipment and people. The resulting Éclair editorial made the experience worthwhile — while reinforcing Ilona’s appreciation for considerably warmer studios.
Away from modelling, tennis is an important part of her life. A member of two clubs, she enjoys the combination of competition, fitness and social connection that the sport provides.
As a 50+ model, Ilona represents a confident and contemporary approach to mature modelling. Comfortable with fashion, lifestyle and editorial work, she brings personality, professionalism and a subtle sense of humour to every assignment.
