Daria Gapska

Daria Gapska

Founder of Nova É ire

Daria is the founder of Nova Éire, a Belfast-based modelling agency built to connect Irish talent with global brands. Beginning her journey in the fashion industry as a model, Daria gained first-hand experience working in front of the camera before transitioning into model management. Her passion for the industry evolved as she worked internationally, attending key events including Paris and Milan Fashion Week, where she built invaluable relationships with casting directors, stylists, and brand executives. At just 22, Daria took the leap to launch her own agency, driven by a vision to offer a modern, ethical, and opportunity-focused platform for emerging models in Ireland. Since launching, Nova Éire has grown into a respected name, representing talent who have worked with major e-commerce and fashion brands both locally and internationally. Networking has played a critical role in her career, from early modelling days to building industry partnerships, and now mentoring young women as an agent and business owner. Daria will be sharing her story, lessons learned from her first year in business, practical tips for young women starting out, and her insights into the power of community, confidence, and adaptability in both fashion and entrepreneurship.
