Viktoriya Sasonkina

who said we need another poly? this is fashion we need something new not just copies

Exactly my point. And a career like Poly's is something that happens not that often and that I don't see happening more often. It's a very special career-pattern which is even far itself from those we know from the supermodels-era.
Viktoriya's career is what a new face can really afford to dream of today if she keeps a realistic approach of it. Working twice with Meisel for a VI cover isn't given to everyone, working with him in several editorials and as many campaign is extremely rare too and Vika proved she can even keep this crazy pace.
Why would she need or would we need her to be another Poly or have such a similar career ? It's great to have big expectations for our favorite models and fight for the aesthetic we're striving for but then this business is like that and I think Viktoriya's very interesting career (on all fronts) is already quite impressive.

Abul, this editorial will always remain quite special to me. It was done at the time she started getting more confident in front of the camera, getting that precious Sasonkina-touch that made her unforgettable and unique mark.

I totally agree about that editorial and Viktoriya is just bringing it hereB)
Thanks abul
She manages to achieve a certain amount of drama in her editorials.
As for her career trajectory so far, it really has been like no other. At times because it seemed like Meisel was the only lensman interested in her, I was a little worried but now I think she has proved her worth and although it has taken a little time other photographers are seeing her potential.
Here's to fantastic year ahead for her.

Cool ed. She looks very Factory Girl in it.

Really cute. Viktoriya and Mirte make a nice pairing.

The llama is so random but V. is cute and that L'Officiel editorial is splendid.
Don't get the Poly/Victoriya discussion, they're both fabulous in their own way.

Nothing really important And no comparison between the models themselves, rather the career patterns

i love that llama shot too. it's so random and funny.

 

[Edita]

I see a little bit Heather Marks in her (-in some shots)

 

[FashionInsider]

Maybe! She's a mix of a lot of famous faces!

 

[cologne_rocks]

but still sorts of holding on her own

 

[mackos]

Llama deserves a huge karma, really

 

[Faye Parfait]

That llama is the most random and hilarious thing I've ever seen. It looks so smug that it's in the shot haha. I love it.

 

[cologne_rocks]

She's in the new Mulberry ads together with Sasha Pivovarova, guess it's Meisel work

 

[Edita]

I just saw it! I like it

Good brand, afwul campaign... The hair!! Come on!
Don't like it at all. Her worst picture for me.

 

[MyNameIs]

Guess we have our first campaign. I actually kinda like it. Looks quirky and playful.

^ And that's why I love it so much The playfull-ness, the colours, the styling (I think the wigs only add to the mood in this) and the whole setting (what a brilliant idea with the roundabout!) is simply perfect. And eventhough it's just Vika's lovely profile we get to see: I'm happy she's in this. And of course, hopefully there'll be more shots to see more of her anyway
