Suvi Koponen (Riggs)

[indie]

Uhm I don't know but I guess it would be logical if she opened and closed Prada with total 4 looks ...

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Yeah.. she's totally a lock for Miu Miu

 

[MulletProof]

i think she's one of my favorites already.

Miu Miu exclusive?

Few castings are as closely scrutinized as Prada's, so it's been a huge week for Suvi Koponen, the 18-year-old Finnish model who opened and closed Miuccia's show yesterday. "I still can't grasp it," the Supreme agency girl said the next morning. "I was so nervous and at the same time so excited." Of course, she made it through just fine. Prada has already booked her as an exclusive for the Miu Miu show in Paris. And in a week when platform-loving editors have been performing their own balancing act on Milan's cobblestones, Koponen 's personal pre-show mantra could be a motto for all: "Walk Straight. Do not fall. Do not fall."

She has great walk by the way..See the Prada video from style.com

She was chosen as the best finnish model 2006 by magazine called city.
There was also a little interview..

"....Before Prada, Suvi has worked for Armani (show), Comme des Garcons (show), Gucci, Valentino, Missoni and Iceberg. It's said that Steven Meisel is intrested in her. For the last three weeks Suvi has been doing Prada look book which means daily fittings, to see how the clothes look on models. This must pay well. "I don't know what they are paying for me" says Koponen from her day-off in Milan"

Her stats are sooo small. She is 181 cm and 77-58-85!

Great, I remember that during Mallikoulu-show, her walk was among the poorest, but she's progressed since

 

[sethii]

So she stole sasha's job?

hmmphhh!!!

She looks like Freja Beha cross bred with Natasha Poly.

Good body but I find her face a bit boring.

thank youuu everyone posting the runway pics
i've actually got CDG part 3 coming too..

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

this is the girl replacing sasha?!
why?

 

[elin_a]

^
haha, why is anyone replacing anyone here?
i think in modeling world other models just "replace" others while they're getting more famous.
i think sasha is "famous enough" now and won't lose her career though suvi is opening her career in a big way at the moment.

 

[carola]

Those Finnish girls have such great cheekbones

 

[Gazillion]

Suvi has this an oost/heather bratton thing going on which i really love...
