“She’s 17 and she’s in the second class of secondary school (high school). She came to Poland from N.Y to pass her exams at school.”

Girl: You were a “BravoGirl!” face once, now you’re a Moschino face. How did you do that?
Anna: I was a loyal “Girl!” reader and I sent a coupon for a model comtest one day (“Stylish Girls”?). I was thinking it would be nice… After a few months I received an invitation for a casting. I went there and I did it. I won.

Girl: Was that so simple? Just one casting?
Anna: I was lucky. After 2 months I went to Japan, after that to Milan an N.Y. I had a lot of work, castings. But, finally, Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs saw me. And I’ve recently done a campaign for Moschino Cheap& Chic.

Girl: Most of things are changed. But what about your school?
Anna: I come back to Poland to pass my exams. I have an individual education. Now I’m learning biology…

Girl: What are you doing in your free time?
Anna: I love reading- especially Paulo Coelho. I’m also listening to music (David Bowie and Coldplay have amazed me lately)

Girl: Do you have a boyfriend?
Anna: No (laughter). I’m alone.

Girl: Some friends?
Anna: Yes, only one. She’s my really close friend. We were doing everything together. Now we often call each other. She adores to look at my pictures and she would like to listen stories about fashio shows for all the time.

Girl: Do you specially care about yourself?
Anna: I go to the gym three times a week. Besides that I run and swim.

Girl: What about diets? Do you count calories?
Anna: ha, ha… I have my first meal about 12 o’clock, in the lunch time. When I’m home, I eat everything what my mum cooks.

Girl: Do you use a lot of cosmetics?
Anna: Every day I use a cream and thermal water.

Girl: Do you like yourself?
Anna: You know, modeling treats your complexes. I don’t care a lot about my look and clothes. But sometimes I have days when it’s really hard to look in a mirror…

Girl: And in front of the lens?
Anna: There’s always strage fright and a lot of adrenaline. I remember DKNY show where I was the second model and I also closed the show with too big shoes. IT was so stressful! But I did it, cotton wool and ribbon helped me. Sometimes I have to work 15 hours a day.

Girl: Do you have your favourite model?
Anna: Yes. The nice Natalia Vodianova and of course the queen of fashion shows- Kate Moss.

Girl: You work all over the World. Which language do you speak?
Anna: When I went to Japan, I used Polish. It was the reason to learn English. I also started to learn Italian.

Girl: How is your day like?
Anna: I have to be in my agency at 9:00 am. Then I have castings. For all the time. After that I have sme time for relax: swimming pool, gym. And of course a book before going to bed.

Girl: Can you betray us how much do you earn?
Anna: (laughter) Hey, you’re too curious! Rates are really different. For example…. they give you clothes in N.Y, but I won’t come back from Milan to Poland by a new car.

Girl: What can you say to girls who want to be models?
Anna: Read “Girl!”. Send your pictures and visit my agency website: www.newagemodels.pl
