June 3, 200717 yr No shes not, i think shes about 5'7.Whoa really, only? Yea she doesn't have the typical high fashion model body..But you know what that means since being shorter and not as skinny she has to work double (if not triple) as hard then the rest of the models and still she managed to work her way up & stay up and now she's 1 of the biggest current top models, and like I said before, they don't compare her to Gemma anymore & I'd say she's bigger then Gemma right now, and Gemma time's been over for some time now.Edit: How was she discovered again?I think she was discovered when a friend sent her pictures to IMG New York. And straight after that she got the Prada Campaign!!
June 3, 200717 yr old article from faceforwardHow did you begin modeling?Sasha: My friend who is a photographer showed my photos to IMG in New York and they liked me, that's how it started. I then did my first show, which was Prada, and then I did the campaign.Did he scout you or was he already your friend? Sasha: Yes, he was my friend already.Where was the first place you went after IMG took you on? Sasha: I went to Paris and lived there for a month. I did a story for French L'Officiel magazine, and then after that I did the L'Officiel cover. Where are you from originally? How does it differ from Paris? Sasha: I'm from Moscow in Russia. Paris is different, I can't explain, but it's a completely different city. What is the best job you've done so far? Sasha: I love to work with Steven Meisel; it's always a great experience. I loved the Prada show too because I was so excited about doing it, I had no idea what to expect.How did you learn how to walk for the runway? Sasha: I didn't have any lessons for it, I just walk how I walk. When you are home in Russia, what do you like to do? Sasha: I miss my life there so I see my family and friends. I like to read and draw too and take vacations.I saw at one show you were drawing a huge picture on the floor, was it a picture of you? Sasha: Yes, yes, I love to draw! I want to be an artist.Because you have an interest in art, do you think you appreciate the artistic side of fashion more than some of the other girls? Sasha: Yeah, I was born an artist. I have been interested in it since I can remember so modeling has been a great experience for me. L'Officiel magazine actually published some of my drawings and next Harper's Bazaar will publish a story of mine with my drawings. I'm making a story about everything I do - designers, parties, about me, about you (laughs)You are with one of the biggest agencies in the world. How is IMG different from city to city? Sasha: IMG is great everywhere. They take care of us all. The bookers are friendly and the other girls are nice too.Who are your favorite designers? Sasha: I like Prada, Yohji Yamamoto, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Chloe. I love to wear the clothes on shoots and in shows, sometimes I buy them myself too.If you could do any modeling job in the world, what would you love to do? Sasha: I would like to be on more covers, they are always really nice to do. I would also love to do a cosmetics campaign, perfume or skincare.What do you think about girls being paid more money than men? Sasha: I think female models have more of a future than men do. They [female models] are always changing and growing. I don't like to think about who has money and who doesn't… as long as you are happy with what you are doing.What is important to you in your life? Sasha: To me the most important thing is to be loved. I have a fiancé.Do you have any beauty secrets? Sasha: I drink Chinese kung fu ceremonial tea, I don't drink alcohol and I use different moisturizers to see which one is the best.Do you learn a lot about grooming from having your hair and make-up done by professionals all the time? Sasha: Yes, I watch what they're doing and sometimes I try to do it myself, but mostly I am reading or drawing so I don't learn anything.How long have you been speaking English? Sasha: Only 4 months! I didn't speak any English when I first went to Paris and now I am learning all the time.What is a typical day like for you? Sasha: I wake up, drink some tea, then I will have castings, followed by lunch, more castings and then I come home and go to bed (laughs)How about a day when you have nothing to do? Sasha: I like to go walking in the parks, visiting museums, drawing and watching TV. I always like to be doing something.What do you see yourself doing when you are older? Sasha: I think I will be an artist and have my own gallery. I might want to have some children too. I would love to live in New York, it's the best city in the world
June 3, 200717 yr The many different faces of Sasha credit tfs, models.com I the first one thanx sweetie
June 3, 200717 yr Thanks for the interview diorlove.So wait girls that aren't even models and had 0 experience can immidiately land an campaign,editorial or a runway work?? I mean how is that possible i always thought u have to go through all these castings and pictures to even get signed in an agency then take a modelling course like for photoshoots ho to pose and teach u how to runway walk and pose and etc all that stuff.I thought every model HAD to do that before she was even signed and considered as a model.So you can be signed with only sending pictures (ofcourseif they really like u and see potential in you) ?
June 3, 200717 yr The first pic you posted, diorlover, made me love her finally Thats what i wanna here

I doubt all models can land a major campaign straighaway. You probably have to have an amazing look, like Sasha!!
