Snejana Onopka

She wrote in comments on her Instagram page that her comeback is planned after fashion weeks, so I guess it won't be as big as we'd love it to be. Maybe she'll do some printwork.

Yawn. That means something random like Glamour Italia. I wanted a runway appearance and a campaign.

It will be hard for her to make a "comeback" IMO If she hardly ever goes abroad... there is just so much your agents can do for your career if you are now willing to meet people, make connections and engage/ interact with key people within the industry. I Think that a very important part of making a comeback is to be seen, heard and be noticed again and that will hardly happen if she is always in Kiev and never going to NY, Milan or Paris to update her polaroids and try to get invited to key events..

^ Completely agreed gm1994.

Unfortunately in 2014 we had a bad feedback about her coming back during Milan Fashion Week. Clients did not seem so crazy about it. In that case she was convinced by Piero Piazzi and Women team to show herself in Milan again..now she remains based in Kiev, not a good move imo. We'll see.

I have the feeling she thinks she has not to prove something to anybody because of her top modeling past.

Yes! I think that one of her biggest problems is that she lives off her former glory days, when she was a household name within the industry so to speak. And then there is her attitude towards clients... she is completely unprofessional when it comes to handling her work relationships.

I remember a few years ago when she did a shoot for glamour Italia, I used to comment her Instagram pics quite often so we kind of interacted a lot. She sent me a dm with screen shots of a WhatsApp conversation between her and and someone at glamour and a contract/ agreement for the shoot that stated that she was actually going to be on the cover. Then for some reason they didn't put her on the cover and she snapped, writing all sorts of things to the people at glamour and saying she was going to sue them or something like that.

I get it can be frustrating when you get a contract for a certain thing and then you get something else but still, one shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you, especially if your career isn't like Natasha P and you are wanting to get coverage..

 

[gm1994]

I still wish her the best though! She is one of my favorite models, and has always been! She has a unique and elegant aura and SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

 

[gm1994]

She posted on her Instagram account that she was going to update her polaroids today.

New Polaroids

These are Snejana's new polaroids. She looks great and fresh IMO, considering that she is in her thirties

[Sweet rus]

considering that she is in her thirties . If you are 30, you can totally look like in your 20's. Snejana looks miserable in these polas for some reason. Wonder how long it is gonna last for this time. I wish her luck though

 

[lakomka]

And the second "Polaroid" is so obviously retouched by Snej's :sigh: She indeed looks and acts miserable. Isn't the agency should relize the photos first?

I would rephrase what I wrote earlier and add " considering that she is in her thirties, an avid smoker and probably doesn't love to exercise "

I was wondering the same thing actually. But there are two types of polaroids ( I worked as a model a few years), the one's that the agency publishes on their website for anyone to see and other one's that are just sent directly to clients and are for them to see the model's current body shape, weight , etc . The last one's being a lot more " casual" than the one's that the agency usually publishes, so maybe Snejana's polaroids belong to the last category? But Who know's really.

I think her best polaroids are the one's that she took in NY a few years ago when she still was with Women, she looked so polished and chic IMO.

 

[MyNameIs]

That second shot is not part of the polaroids set.

 

[wendylorene]

She always looks so freaking miserable, the only good shot is the last one.

 

[Scotty]

I wonder why she's not going to NY. Who stays in Kiev for modelling jobs?

 

[Valentine27]

^I think I read somewhere in the Instagram comments that she was waiting for her visa.

Looks like she deleted the digitals from her page.
She looks lifeless, she's definitely lost her spark.

 

[atooomic]

Models always look miserable in digitals, I don't see the big deal. Let's wait for real work.

 

[Elite13]

Models always look miserable in digitals.

Good models don't.

Although they were probably digitals that she had to send to Marilyn so they know what she looks like before she flies over to them.

I hope they dye her hair brown.

 

[gm1994]

She is flying to Copenhagen for work today according to her Instagram account. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think she has previously been on the cover of the danish magazine "Cover" previously.

She confirmed in comments that this time it will be a cover. I hope later we won't find out that it was just an editorial for a magazine "Cover", not the actual cover and Snejana starting new drama about how everybody lies to her.

 

[Lax89]

Exciting news. Maybe with all this time off from modeling, she'll be happy to be back. Best of luck to her
