Suvi Maria Koponen (Riggs) (born March 26, 1988 in Vantaa, Finland) is a Finnish fashion model who rose to fame after winning the 2005 Mallikoulu (Model School in English) contest in Finland.
Koponen has established a credible modeling career. She has worked for numerous designers including Anna Sui, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Anne Klein, Blumarine, Miu Miu, BCBG Max Azria, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci and Prada. Koponen has also had an editorial in the French Vogue shot by David Sims. Koponen has also appeared in the American Vogue and made the cover of Vogue Portugal in March 2008.
In 2005 Koponen won the televised Mallikoulu ("Model School") contest. Of the show she won a model contract with international top Model Agency Women in Milan, Paris and New York. Koponen made her runway debut at the major Fashion Weeks during the Fall/Winter 06/07 runway season, but it was not until the following season that she truly broke out, walking exclusively for Prada and Miu Miu. Paul Rowland [2], the founder of Supreme (part of Women NY), met Suvi for the first time in New York City. He designed a unique hairstyle for her and famously told Miuccia Prada: "I have got a new star for you." She was also on the cover of Finnish magazine Pàp in November 2005 and also in 2006. Later the same year, she appeared on the cover of Amica magazine (Germany) and in print ads for Anteprime. After 2006 Koponen became recognised internationally.
