here we go


Supermodel, agency DNA Models (New York), Viva (Paris), Why Not (Milan)

In two years an unknown girl from Severodonetsk has become a super-model. Now she is one of the ten most saught after top-models. Blue eyes, brown hair, superfluous thinness - that's how she was accepted to the world of fashion. She does the best shows, was twice on the cover of Italian Vogue, she did Calvin Klein Jeans, Dolce&Gabbana, Lanvin, Prada, YSL and Louis Vuitton campaigns. This season Unkranian model has contracts with Gucci and Shiseido. She lives between New York, Paris and Milan. Quite often but not for long she comes to Kiev where most of the time she spends with a few of her friends and family. It is not known much about her success in her homeland but last summer she did a photoshoot for Ukranian Elle for the first time. In the interview for Focus top-model told what she has and is happy about.

-It's said in Ukranian model business that your look is not typical for Ukraine.
Weird. I have never worked in Ukraine, so it's hard to say if I am typical for Ukraine or other countries or not. I tried to do some modelling when I was 15 in Japan but without real success. It wasn't my goal to model. That's why I was signed with an agency but didn't really work there.

-Why did you start modelling then?

-It was prestigious then. All girls were with some agency, so when I came to Kiev, I signed with Metropolitan. But when my current agent Oleg offered me to go to American agency DNA and I saw that it represents models like Natalia Vodianova and Linda Evangelista, I decided to go. And everything turned out very well. I think I was in the right moment in the right place.

-Is there still something in the modelling that you dream about?

-I have a dream to make a campaign for Chanel. I think I have the right look for them. And I also have very good relationships with Karl Lagerfeld. We talk and I tell him that I'd like to be the face of Chanel.

-The world of fashion is the world of much money. What can you, the most desirable bride of Ukraine, boast of? I know you have bought apartments in Kiev.

-(smiling) Apartments...it's a small fry. My mom lives in the first apartments. And at the moment I have some repair done in my new apartments (3-rommed flat in the centre of Kiev). I asked my neighbour Angela Lisicina to make a design project for me cause her appartments are simply fantastic!
-You've also got a new car, Betley...

-Yes, it's my second one. One car is dark blue with the light salon. The second second one is the same but it's of a limited edition. accurate the same, only limited edition. it's red inside. There are only three of them in Ukraine. This model was made for the 60th anniversary of Bentley salon. I wanted to have it so much!

-What else do you spend your money on?

-I love wrist-watch. I have a lot of them ( there is Breguet Skeleton wrist watch on her thin wrist). As all women I love jewelry and also Vertu phones. I also love bags made of crocodile leather, Fendi ones are my favourite! But I do not have a cult of clothing. All my jeans cost 100 dollars.

-The life of a model is pretty short. What would you like to do?

-I want to study languages, especially French, and to become a lawer in the future.

-Is it possible to do both: modelling and studing?

-It is now but 2 years ago it was completely unreal. I didn't go to New York this time because I didn't want to. You see, now I can choose what I want to do and what I don't.

-Didn't you think about doing some kind of business?

-You know, I didn't think about it. Probably it's early for me to do it. My money is now kept on the banking account. I am not sure where I want to live and where I can start a business. Maybe in Kiev, maybe in Paris... But actually I want to live in London.

-And do you think about marriage?

-I don't. I think I am not ready yet. But I have a man that I love. From one hand I want to get married but from anotherhand the life of a family seems very complicated to me.

-Didn't your success and money besot you head ?

-At first, yes, they did but now...For me money is only smth that helps me to satisfy my desires. However I am a normal girl... From the province.

[miu_miu]

Interesting that she says she didn't go to New York because she didn't want to

 

[sethii]

[lisandwich]

Aww the interview is pretty cute. I'd like to see her in a campaign for Chanel also

 

[miss_pepa]

Loved her SOOOOO much at SS06! She was such a star that season!

 

[matthaeus123]

Sometimes she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and sometimes I just think meh.

 

[castingcrowns]

For me money is only smth that helps me to satisfy my desires

I find this kind of sad.. Poor Snejana, money can't buy true happiness..

 

[matthaeus123]

I felt the same way.

 

[jssy4eva]

If you read the question, I think she means that in a more positive way, They ask her something like: "Didn't success and money go to your head?' and she
says "At first, yes, they did but now...For me money is only smth that helps me to satisfy my desires. However I am a normal girl... From the province." Meaning, st first it did, but now she only sees money as something to help her get what she wants. I think anyways.

 

[matthaeus123]

Let's leave it at she's helping out the global economy, by spending her money.
