The following information about her was derived from Wikipedia:
Snejana Onopka (born December 15, 1986) is a Ukrainian supermodel known for her deep-set eyes and pin-thin body. Onopka moved to the Ukraine capital, Kiev, at the age of fifteen. While there, she was spotted by a foreign scout and thus began her career as a model. She soon caught the eye of Steven Meisel and shot the campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana and Prada. He also photographed her for two covers of Italian Vogue, which helped launch her career. Onopka has also been on the cover of i-D and Numéro, making a total of 11 covers, and counting, over her short span as a top model. On the runway, she is commonly seen at top shows including Chanel, Gucci, Christian Lacroix, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.
During the New York's Fall/Winter 2007 shows she was noticeably absent, though at the start of the Milan shows just weeks later, she was back in full force walking for shows including Burberry, Jil Sander, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana. It was later found out that she was shooting the Shiseido Spring/Summer 2007 campaign.
Although the low body weight of runway models is currently a matter of great controversy, Onopka serves as an extremely thin example. She is one of the thinnest models walking the runways today, and with a Body Mass Index of only 14.6 (anything under 18.5 is considered underweight), she faces rejection from some cities' Fashion Week shows, such as Madrid, which has a minimum BMI requirement.
