Wow, I used to love her, but it seems as if her personality has been in a downward spiral for the past year. Her ego is way too big and she is becoming irrelevant. Her appearance at Balmain was hardly even noticed.

Earning $8 a day - the shocking truth about the Russian child model who died in China

By The Siberian Times reporter
29 October 2017

Vlada Dzyuba, 14, was dreaming of catwalk stardom, but now her parents 'cannot afford to fly her body home' to bury her.

Like many hopeful supermodels, schoolgirl Vlada from Perm had the looks for a career in international modelling.

She was sought after for big fashion shows and there are claims she was on a gruelling 13-hour shoot shortly before falling into a coma.

Several top modelling agencies in two countries along with a 'manager' arranged her trip to China on a three month contract, missing her school classes back home to do so.

Tragically the girl died in China in circumstances that are still being fully clarified. But there can be no doubt her death was utterly appalling - and avoidable.

'Shanghai Fashion Week is also investigating when, why and where the 14-year-old Dzyuba died. She could have collapsed after the show.'

Leaving aside any blame, her tragic story is likely to hold lessons for those - anywhere - who deploy teenage girls as models, often enticing them with starry-eyed hopes of fame and fortune in the future, a goal reached by only a handful.

The parents do not have enough money to bring the girl's body back to Russia and she will be cremated in China, reported Mash.

Her ashes will be then flown home.

Reports in Russia indicate that for a two month contract based in Beijing this girl was paid around $3,000, but that most of this was eaten up paying for air fares, accommodation, food, tax and insurance, said Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Although - everyone agrees Vlada on her latest trip did not have the medical insurance that she needed when her condition suddenly became critical.

On 25 October, she had taken part in a 13-hour long shoot for a jewellery catalogue. Picture: Oksana Dzyuba

On her earlier trip she received around $500 profit from her earnings over 60 or so days - or $8 a day.

Yet undoubtedly her head was turned by the prospects of future modelling success. She had urged per parents to let her make the most of her modelling opportunities.

Accounts vary over precisely what happened to Vlada, and the Global Times in Beijing has disputed the version used in our earlier story by The Siberian Times which came mainly from Russian sources.

In particular, a Chinese modelling agency recruiting her to the country denied it had 'overworked her' during her stay.

Having worked at the prestigious Shanghai Fashion Show, Vlada fell sick during another catwalk appearance in Hagnzhou, it appears.

She died overnight on 27 October.

Zheng Yi, chief executive of ESEE Model Management, told The Global Times on Sunday: 'Dzyuba had received 16 different jobs during her two months' stay in China.

'She had regular breaks while working. Most of her work was completed within eight hours. Her workload was moderate compared with other models.'

Earlier Russian accounts reported by The Siberian Times suggested she died during a 13-hour fashion show.

Zheng insisted her contract was 'legal'.

ESEE Model Management had signed a three-month contract with Dzyuba's home company, Smirnoff Models based in St. Petersburg, Russia, said the agency boss.

Surprisingly, 'the number of working hours is not stated in the contract', Zheng said according to The Global Times.

'Vlada was daily talking to her parents on Skype, saying how happy she was.

Russian reports had claimed the girl was overworked and did not have medical insurance which made her reluctant to seek hospital treatment even though her mother - back home in Russia - had urged her to do so.

The Global Times reported: 'China's Labour Law provides for an eight-hour work day, and 44 hours a week. The law states that cultural, sports and special arts employees are entitled to recruit teenagers under the age 16, but they have to fulfil national permission procedures and ensure their rights to education."

Earlier reports said that the girl had suffered from 'utter exhaustion' and meningitis leading to her collapsing minutes before her latest catwalk appearance.

The Global Times stated that 'the young model was suffering from septicopyemia, or a type of blood poisoning... with multiple visceral organs damaged, liver dysfunction and renal insufficiency'.

The newspaper said she died 'of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome', citing medical records.

ESEE Model Management - in China - paid for her medical bills, according to a statement Zheng provided, it was reported.

A media representative from the Shanghai Fashion Week told the Global Times Sunday: 'Shanghai Fashion Week is also investigating when, why and where the 14-year-old Dzyuba died. She could have collapsed after the show.'

The fashion show has nothing to do with Dzyuba's death as the show ended on October 18, Zheng said.

The newspaper reported: 'Dzyuba arrived in Yiwu Monday night and checked in at a local hotel.

'The next day, she was normal, ate breakfast and worked until she felt sick late at night.'

Her agent cancelled her stay on Wednesday, the statement reads.

'It said, Dzyuba returned to Shanghai at noon and rested at her hotel but she continued feeling uncomfortable.

'At around 6 pm, she was sent to the Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital's emergency room, and the Russian embassy was also informed.

'On Thursday, Russian embassy staff and the local police arrived at the hospital and inquired about the case.

'Dzyuba was then sent to the intensive care unit (ICU) as her condition deteriorated, according to the statement sent by Zheng.

'Global Times has not received a response from the Russian embassy as of press time.

'Dzyuba was accompanied by ESEE management personnel at the Rui Jin Hospital, Zheng added.

It has emerged that the child had started modelling aged 12 when she was 178 cm tall. Her mother, editor in chief of a Perm glamour magazine, had brought her to a modelling agency.

Elvira Zaitseva, head of the agency Great Model, perhaps emphasising unintentionally the pressures on young girls, said: 'When Vlada just started, she was full of teenager insecurities.

'She was shy, she used to slouch. We had to work hard with her.'

After a year attending modelling school, Vlada took part in fashion shows. She had to be 14 in order to travel abroad alone, and did so after receiving her passport for foreign travel, visiting China.

The parents do not have enough money to bring the girl's body back to Russia and she will be cremated in China. Picture:

Zaitseva explained: 'In this country (China), the active age of models is young, from 14 to 18 years old. So far there is no jobs for teenage girls in Europe.

'We discussed her career with her parents, and decided to send her to China. They treat young models with great care there.

'Vlada was daily talking to her parents on Skype, saying how happy she was.

'She was telling stories about fashion shows, about what an exciting oriental country China is, and that she became a face of a transatlantic company.'

While she was away from school, 'kept studying', reported Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Zaitseva said: 'She came back to Perm a slightly different personality - grown up, a daring and active girl. We thought that she would dive into her studies, but she didn't.

^ Wow. If that's not a cautionary tale, I don't know what is. I also don't understand why someone isn't picking up the costs.

Seriously - both agencies should be falling all over themselves to the her body brought home... how awful.

 

[Benn98]

This is such a heartbreakingly tragic story! Between the girl not wanting to complete her education, her meagre remuneration in China (read: slave labour!), the mother sending a 15yo into the devil's cauldron (fashion industry) to fend for herself, not having money to return her corpse to Russia??? Yikes.

I happen to have chanced onto some the girl's modelling shots, and she looked eerily young, but made up to appeal to mature women. Must say I found that quite uncomfortable. Says a lot about Chinese mainstream media and their obsession with youth.

Ali Michael (27) sent Finn Wolfhard (14) from Stranger Things this message.
I can only imagine the outrage if a guy said the same about Millie Bobby Brown....

Agreed...or if a man had said it about Finn.

 

[Deleted member 130879]

She is downright psychotic, nowadays. I think she seriously needs help. I used to follow her and like her a few years ago but since she became this basic hipster "artsy" insta girl I just can't stand her anymore.

With this she just hit a new low. I hope people call her out.

 

[happycanadian]

Yep. This.

Everyone would be screaming "Pedo!" and he'd have to issue a public apology and it would probably be the end of his career.

 

[mepps]

The double standard is absolutely disgusting.
She really needs to be called out and ended.

 

[eizhowa]

I don't know how I feel about this. There is not neccesarily anything wrong with what she wrote. When I watched Stranger things, I actually thought to myself that Finn would probably be very handsome when he grows up. And dating a 18 year old is fine. It is not neccesarily within what we consider socially acceptable, but it is not illegal in any way.

So the issue is not neccesarily what she wrote. Or at least that is what I feel.

Of course, if she hopes he still looks 14 in 4 years, then that is beyond creepy... I don't think she does, however.

 

[Littleathquakes]

I agree there's really no malice or rapey intent behind the comment (at least none that I can sense, I think I can get a good read on the vibe she was sending). But I also see that had this been a man who wrote it, the social justice warriors would deem him a pedo.

 

[kokobombon]

I read it as " I think you´re hot but illegal so call me in 4 years" and if she had to start with "not to be weird" then in some level she knews that it´s weird to sexualize a kid when you´re almost 30...

ia :/ tbh i just think we should leave minors out of any conversation be it as a joke or not just until they are old its just weird and so so inappropriate like imagine 14 yr old you reading that someone more than 10 yrs older wants to fu*k you its creepy

LOL, sorry, I'm only laughing at the way you worded it, but you're quite right.

I wasn't really bothered whether it was a joke or not, just wanted to point out if it was a man, or as Dsamg so cleverly put it, a gay man saying that, everyone will be all up in arms.

 

[kokobombon]

^I think that a lot of people were, she apologized and deleted the post.

Snejana reposted these on her IG, do I sense shade? She wants her crown back from Magdalena.



Snejana's story

 

[happycanadian]

God she's so thirsty.

And the truth is that she hasn't had half the career that Gigi has had ALREADY.

Yeah, a lot of that is to do with Gigi's social media following. But much of it will also come down to Gigi being universally described as hard-working, energetic, pleasant and EASY to work with.

 

[Mea Culpa]

The double standard is absolutely disgusting.

This This This

... the post has been removed.

ANYTHING you start with the disclaimer "not to be weird.. " is almost 100% guaranteed to be weird ... in this case it was not only weird but creepy and inappropriate ...

 

[Littleathquakes]

She even came for Cindy's daughter. I wonder if momma bear will take Snej down a couple of notches.
