Julia Saner

I suppose that's what's best for her. I agree that she never looked happy and always seemed tired. I hope she still enjoyed experiencing so many new things in the past 2 years and I do hope she'll eventually make a comeback because I feel like she's just now started to become a really good print model and proved that she's really good at what she does. But I don't expect her to come back very soon, it's been quite a while that she's been on a break already and her talking to the press about it now makes me think she's quite serious about this. Good luck to her

Omg...I can't even...I missed her already.It's killing me not to see her doing any show or print..I just found out this amazing model and now this
But I hope Julia to be happy,if this is what she wants,good luck to her. (plz come back whenever you want,Julia)

 

[BibiRose]

Sad news, I'll miss her on the runway. But it's her decision and I respect it. Hope she'll have a good time and come back in the future...

 

[Fascination90]

oh nooooo...
worst news ever...
she was my favourite model...I'm so gonna miss her
good luck in her future anyway...

 

[RedandNavy]

I was so sad when I heard this...

But I guess it is good for her. Not sure she really wanted to be a model with all her heart. I think she was kind of pushed into it by her beauty. Maybe she can enjoy the profession later on. I'm still very sad and wish her all the best!

 

[IceePriincess]

omg those news are killing me. She was one of my favorite models by now.. I respect her decision, and hope she can get a good time and have fun. She never seem happy in the backstages, and looked a bit tired. But she was rocking the runways. Im going to miss her a lot, her photos, eds, ads, everything about Julia, she had everything to become a great well known model. However, I hope she can come back to the Fashion world in a couple of years. She was a great model by far, and I was her fan since she won the Elite Model Look International.


Julia if you read this:
Im your fan, and will always be your fan. I wish you the best in every aspect of your life. Good luck in everything, you will always have a place in our hearts. Fashion will wait for you with open arms. I love you, and I will miss your photos and your beautiful face a lot.

 

[mackos]

Aw, me too I will miss her on the catwalks, especially at Lanvin.

But obviously I respect her decision and hope she will have a really great time taking her break

Well said.

I think this was a good move because now she can continue doing things she likes and this photography work of her sounds good.
If she does make a comeback later on, she'll sure be more confident, well rested and look better than ever.

 

[IceePriincess]

anyways Im going to miss her more than ever!!!!

Here is a longer interview in the Tagesanzeiger newspaper: http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/panorama/leute/Julia-Saner-Ich-werde-das-Reisen-vermissen/story/16815257

 

[corinneday]

Would anyone be kind enough to translate that interview?

 

[cologne_rocks]

^ For sure, here you go. Sorry for the mistakes, my English is quite ghetto at times

Why did you decide to take a break?
I always said to myself I would make up a balance after one year of (full time) modeling. I have done this now. I've gained many new experiences and broken fresh ground. Right now, I consider to go to university or to accomplish an apprenticeship at something creative.

Did you make that decision spontaneously or did you think about it in awhile?
It's not a overnight decision, I've thought about it for months and discussed about it with numerous people. I'm very grateful for the intensive advices from my parents and personal trainer.

How long do you consider to take a break?
I don't know yet. Everything is possible, from one month up to one year.

What do you miss the most/least of all?
Most: I'll miss the traveling and the variety that this job offers.
Least: Waiting for hours at castings.

How did your agents react?
Option and Elite accepted my decision and support my new plans. I'm very grateful for this.

You have lived out of the suitcase for months and now you're home, like overnight.
How do you feel about this?
It feels good to stay at home for a long period of time. But I know I'll get that itchy feel soon and complete a degree at a university in a foreign country.

What are you planning to do during your absence from modeling?
I'll take part at an opening/ a vernissage in Bern in October. Moreover I'm going to do a roadtrip with my family at the US West Coast. I'm still a bit undecided which apprenticeship to take.

You've eked out a place for yourself in this industry. Your estimate: Do you think you can keep this career status or do you think you'll have to start all over again?
Depends on the length of my absence from modeling. Not very easy to estimate. If people tell me that I've missed the boat, I'll accept the challenge to scramble for a place in modeling again. I am a very ambitious person.

[victorshmily]

Thx so much for the translation!

 

[Jelavender]

Thank you so much for the translation, cologne_rocks.

Sounds like she is quite a smart and well-educated girl. Best wishes to Julia for her academic pursuit and personal life.

She has an editorial in the October 2011 US Bazaar (Lady Gaga is on the cover). I saw it on my newsstand today although I haven't gotten my subscription copy yet. Anyway - I don't much care for her edit; unfortunately. I thought it was Coco Rocha at first! I am sorry I don't have a scanner or else I'd have bought it and scanned it in...

snifsnif...

 

[Psylocke]

I don't think the whole interview with her from last week's Schweizer Illustrierte about her taking a break has been posted?
