Ford NY, Inventor of model names

Who are Nika, Nova or Stasya ? New girls at Ford NY ? Not really...

Nika is actually Veranika Antsipava, Nova is Ksenia Malanova and Stasya is Anastasiya Zabirinnyk...

Why changing ? I guess these new names may be stronger and easier to remember...

It seems actually to work pretty well as Nova just did the Alexander Wang show but what a guaranteed headache for Casting Directors or Bookings Editors as Nika or Nova are still Veranika or Ksenia in Paris, London or Milan...
