Yeah, me too, I expected her to do at least one or two shows ...

 

[MyNameIs]

^^Yeah I was waiting for the March issue, hoping it would be Snejana. It's not. Luckily, she doesn't seem to have an ed inside either, so there's still hope that it's a cover for a later month.

Also, we should probably find out soon enough what agency Snejana is with right now. IMG and DNA released their showcards for FW12 already, Snejana is not among their girls. We'll wait for the rest and one of them is bound to have her, no?

 

[kostadinka]

Well i read somewhere (its not confirmed!), she switched to Elite..but like you said we need to wait to see with which agency she is now..to be honest i'm not sure is it right decision, switch from silent..i mean its great, excl. agency..however, im curious why models.com, didnt update her profile if she really switched agency..she's still listed with silent..and about cover, i hope too

maybe she got the vp beauty issue that would be cool

Hehe

I wish i could understand Russian (Ukranian?) right now! She always seems more engaged when speaking in her native tongue.

It's Russian. Ukrainians in the South commonly speak Russian. She is definitely more engaged and can speak more clearly when she's speaking in Russian.

man... where is she!! i want news

New interview, she must have given it back in November at the Marella store opening in Moscow.

Work
A lot of people say that Isabel Marant and Balmain are my brands. The thing is, these are the brands with which I've been working since the beginning. The season I started modeling, Frida started at Gucci, Christophe started at Balmain, perhaps that's why I love them and always do their shows. I'm working with Marella a couple years now, great brand and nice people.

Shows
I really like music by Kanye West, so I really wanted to walk in his show. I was amazed at how humble and good a person he was. And his clothes - honestly, even though I don't like dresses, I would wear his dresses with pleasure.

Passion/Lust
Shoes - the only thing I can ask for at shows, but I almost never do. The idea is not to wear them. The idea is to have them. I have platform sandals by Givenchy. With my height, I don't feel comfortable in them, but they're so beautiful. How can you say no to that?

Shopping
Most of all I like going shopping on Washington Street in NYC. But usually I buy something wherever I go, usually accessories.

Home
Just a year ago I was sure I was going to live in Paris. But seeing as I met the love of my life, in my opinion, Kiev remains my home. My husband's work is here, my little brother is here, I want to be able to see him, and if I leave, I may miss something. And my cat Kuzya, who follows my like a dog and sleeps only with me.

LOL, this gives us the answer for how she ended up walking for Kanye's who.

 

[Nymphette]

Oh..she is too cute and love knowing her cat's name.

 

[lady stardust]

kuzya..such a ubercute name, and as always I looove her in interviews

 

[kostadinka]

hahaha, she's amazing, i adore this interview, i especially like a part in which she talks about passion..im not sure but according to them she picks up which show she wants to do, isnt?..probably thats the reason why she didnt walk a lot of shows cause she didnt want..

I like her cats name :-)

 

[BibiRose]

Great interview! Thanks for translation, MyNameIs. I knew there was some reason that she walked Kanye West show.

 

[VivaciousCohen]

I like getting "to know her" more through interview what's next for Snejana. New York perhaps?

 

[Vladita]

^ I doubt she'll be in NY, if you're referring to the fashion week. I'm only expecting her in Milan and Paris.

 

[kostadinka]

yeah, agree with you..well at least like usually we can count on Gucci in Milan and Balmain and Marant in Paris and every other show will be great surprise for us and pleasure as well..i dont know why established girls (like freja,sasha,poly,snejana and etc) skip NYFW, theres a lot of good shows (like marc jacobs,ODLR, Ralph Lauren...)-maybe because of traveling..if i am a booker or model i would like to do f.e Marc Jacobs in NY instead of Mayet or Valentin Yudashkin in Paris..

Well, Elite's show package is out, Snejana is not in it. I really don't know what's going on with her.

 

[kostadinka]

someone said her agent switched from silent to elite so i thought she will follow him like usually she did when he switched to silent from women and etc..however she's still listed at silent board on models.com, so maybe she didnt switch to other agency but who is her booker now?!..dont know what but something is going on..

I hope she goes back to Women. I think models there are managed much better.
