Statuesque with piercing ice-blue eyes, Belarusian supermodel Tanya Diagileva in recent years has conquered yet another achievement by finishing her BA in Fashion Design at the Istituto Marangoni in Paris, France, adding Art & Creative Director / Designer / Image Maker and fashion photographer to her credits. She has also completed the "Fashion Image and Style" year program, the "Fashion Business Intensive" program and attended an intense program at Central Saint Martins, the University of Arts and Design in London. Tanya made her entrance into the fashion scene in September of 2005, landing an exclusive for the prestigious house of PRADA, walking their SS06 runway.

From Milano, she moved over to Paris that season where she walked top venues including CHLOE, GIVENCHY, CHANEL, HERMES and MIU MIU. Shortly after, TD was announced as one of the season's most wanted models. She was selected as one of the Top Newcomers of the season by models.com. Seasons to come, TD dominated the runways. Come the Spring 2008 season, she walked in 74 shows opening VERSACE and closing 4 others. Between magazine covers, editorials and a range of various projects, Tanya has been photographed for all the major publications including the Vogues, Harper’s Bazaar, Visionaire, Numero, i-D and more. Ad campaigns and brand collaborations include JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER, YSL, HUGO BOSS, MICHAEL KORS, CHRISTIAN DIOR, CELINE, DSQUARED2, RALPH LAUREN and CALVIN KLEIN for lensmen including Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Mert & Marcus, David Sims and Hans Feurer.

The fashion industry had to do without the blonde stunner for a few years. But now, able to bring with her the knowledge gained from her studies and the inspiration she so frequently finds in all that moves her, TD is ready to combine the 2 passions of modelling and the arts. Then, in July 2023, SCHIAPARELLI found Tanya on the runway in the number 2 slot for their fall23 Couture show in Paris.

With great honour, Tanya strutted her explosive strut on the runway in Cannes for the 2025 AMFAR charity show styled by Carine Roitfeld and can be seen in her artistically beautiful editorial spread in The Face, July 2025 issue, photographed by Cristina Stolhe.

At the moment, Tanya is in the midst of a new era as she puts the finishing pieces on a business venture she's endured, while making herself available for select modelling assignments.
