Snejana Onopka (Ukrainian: Снєжана Онопка, born December 15, 1986) is a Ukrainian model.
Modeling career
Onopka moved to the Ukraine capital, Kiev, in 2001. While there, she was spotted by a foreign scout and thus began her career as a model.[2]
In 2005, she appeared in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Prada and caught the eye of Steven Meisel, who photographed her for two covers of Italian Vogue and for whom she is a "muse."[2] Onopka has also been on the cover of i-D, Numéro, Harper's Bazaar, L'Officiel, Elle Ukraine, Akademia, CM, and the Portuguese, Japanese, and French editions of Vogue. On the runway, she is commonly seen at shows including Chanel, Gucci, Christian Lacroix, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.
During the New York's Fall/Winter 2007 fashion shows Onopka was noticeably absent, because she was shooting the Shiseido Spring/Summer 2007 campaign. At the start of the Milan shows weeks later, she was back in full force walking for shows including Burberry, Jil Sander, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and others.
Throughout her career Onopka has appeared in advertising campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Calvin Klein, Clé de Peau Beauté, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint-Laurent, Gucci, and Shiseido.
As of February 2011 Onopka is represented by Silent Models in New York and Paris. .
Personal life
Onopka has a residence in Ukraine but cites New York as her part-time home.[citation needed] She was quoted in Teen Vogue saying this about her family: "My mother collects tear sheets of everything she sees me in." And about her father: "My father was in a rock band when I was growing up, so he's used to the spotlight. I like to sing, too."[3]
