Snejana Onopka

[miu_miu]

it's weird that it's happened when she's been working the most for a while...gucci resort campaign, walking haute couture, couple of covers & editorials and a fuller runway schedule. oh well

i was just rummaging around the net when i found this.

dnamodels.com

Vintage Divanopka

^ this is one of my favorite pictures of her!
her face is so pristine. on of a kind, that is for sure.

and about the list - well how mdc can expect people to take their list seriously with Snejana not on it?

 

[AgrenateD]

^doesn't she look so flawless in that picture i was just so
awestruck when i saw this, i just had to post it here. Divanopka circa 2007

yeah. some of my favorite models got booted out as well. stupid list.
well, Snej's definitely in a list of her own. and she's number1. and she's
the only one

Guys Snejana should have been off that list ages ago. Please think of it from a realistic perspective. Yes she works once in a while but it is spare and few in between. She hasn't nabbed any important campaigns this season (besides gucci cruise) and didn't score that many editorials , nor does she walk all the top catwalks. I think MDC took her off the list because it would have been unjust to see Snejana in between nobodies, lingering in the 40's because snejana is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. When she works she gives us exclusitivity but lets face it she isn't a real 'working' model anymore. Same thing with Hilary Rhoda, Julia, Doutzen , they were all taken off the list before because they earn the big buck , they're BEYOND that list and don't fit in with the struggling up and comers. I'd say the same for Snejana. She doesn't fit in the list anymore because IMO she is beyond working model status.

You have a point about her not being among nobodies in the 40s. I definitely agree with you there, I didn't like seeing here so low on the list. But I was seriously expecting her to be moved up considering her work in the last few months (Vogue Russia cover & ed, Numero December cover & ed, 2 VI eds, Gucci Cruise campaign, decent SS10 fashion week). That's more than what she had when she was in Top 20. Additionally, up until very recently Cat McNeil and Agyness were both in the top 10. Now they're both at 12. When was the last time either of them had a career? And there are other questionable girl placement scattered throughout the list.

But it really doesn't matter, not for someone like Snejana. Whether she is or not on the list changes nothing about her career. I'd rather she not be on the list and get work then be on the list and not do much. And if she ever (chooses to?) comes back full time I'm sure models.com will put her back up like they did with Iselin.

Great post Werbowy Stegner.

 

[xerq]

i think we're gassing up her head here. unlike doutzen and Rhoda(who both have major contracts), Snejana hasn't snagged anything major for her to warrant being above and beyond anything.i think it's time we as fans realize the cold hard truth, this isn't 2006 anymore.for some bizarre reason,Snejana is in decline she has been for the last 2 years.

 

[carmen_kass]

I seriously can't fathom why girls like Snejana, Valentina and Inguna who have faces people wuld sell their parents for, aren't getting any work....

 

[Nochoporenka]

^^ because the job is more than pretty face. Inguna said herself she didn;t like runway so much, and maybe because of that she wasn't so energetic to take on every single show. Much of it has to do with personality.

Valentaina I think screwed up her career (or her managers actually) by making her exclusive with Ralph Lauren for many seasons. I alaways felt that was just wrong. 1 season, city exlcusive ok, its fine, but to have exlusive for all cities for many seasons is being stuck in a corner.

 

[xerq]

a corner with a giant stack of cash.

she just did Etam Lingerie Show in Paris

 

[MyNameIs]

she just did Etam Lingerie Show in Paris

OMG, WHAT????

That is COMPLETELY unexpected but I cannot wait to see the results.

Also, really happy to know she's in Paris doing shows.

 

[sethii]

Yes, go Snejana!

We have to hope she shows up at some couture shows too.

 

[MyNameIs]

^I got that covered, lol.

But I guess her doing Etam means she didn't do Armani Prive since they must have been held at the same time.

 

[FashionPower]

EH??
Lingerie??Me likey

 

[JeanAvril]

A lingerie show?

So random but then again The Snej is known for being random.

 

[sethii]

There's some kind of video on this site http://defile-etam.com/fr if anyone can get that working

 

[Thanatos]

I think she'll be at Chanel tomorrow, her name was next to a look in a video I saw...

 

[carmen_kass]

Lol I wonder if she got like a poncho to wear like Sigrid when she did the Etam show. The curvy girls all wore bras and panties but Sigird wore like a moo moo it was HILARIOUS!
