“I had the feeling it was just another rehearsal – in the rehearsals, in one rehearsal, they’d used me as the mock winner”.
After completing her year as Miss World, Skliva returned to Greece where she pursued a career in television and modeling, her face appearing on the covers of numerious Greek magazines such as Diva and LipStick. She has participated in some of the world’s largest fashion shows in Athens, Milan and Munich. She is currently represented by Ace Models Agency.
