Antonina Samoilova

Antonina Samoilova, a Ukrainian mountaineer who has conquered the world's highest peaks, has become the new face of the Edelweiss collection by the jewelry brand Dukachi. Born in 1988, she began mountaineering only in 2018 with an ascent of Kilimanjaro. Since then, she has achieved a series of landmark firsts in the Himalayas and set several world records.

Beyond her athletic achievements, Samoilova has become a true symbol of her country's resilience. When the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Antonina was on an expedition in Mexico, yet she chose to transform her climbs into a powerful international platform.
