'Dressing up helps me': How a Filipina mum redefines beauty and modelling her way
Katya Altiit's passion for fashion began early. As a child, she appeared on Penpen de Sarapen, a beloved Filipino kids' show in the Philippines, where her creativity and confidence first blossomed.
Today, she proudly wears custom-made outfits to cultural events in Australia, often with her family dressed up alongside her. She credits motherhood for transforming her personal style and giving her the courage to fully embrace who she is.
Despite criticism for not fitting the typical 'model' look- not tall, not slim, and already a mother. Katya believes that true beauty isn't about meeting society's standards. For her, it's all about confidence and staying focused on what truly matters: family, friends, and self-care. SBS Filipino
