How did an ordinary street cleaner become a fashion model?

Just like a fairytale, Yura’s life was transformed overnight after photos of him posing for work took the internet by storm.

He was a regular street cleaner, who grew up orphaned, homeless and burdened with debts. Until his roommate, a photographer, made an Instagram post about Yura’s story and then, boom!

Yura started to receive modelling contracts, donations, and subsequently had his own photographic exhibition. This success enabled him to cover all his debts and renovate his flat.

Even after becoming a celebrity, Yura has no plan to quit his cleaning job. On the Global Garbage Man Day, Cinderfella celebrates people who work hard to keep our streets clean.
