AM I STILL GOOD AT IT?
Today I would like to share my first project after the lockdown. The quarantine resulted in the longest break I had since I started modeling. Before the pandemic, I worked a lot. I was constantly on the move and at times worked on three different continents in one week. Because of pandemic everything has slowed down and work completely stopped. After a few months in quarantine I start to question myself – “am I still good at it?” Does anyone else get this feeling too? When finally the lock down was over I took part in a session with one of my favorite photographers – Dimitri Hyacinthe I will never…

NARS CAMPAIGN
The NARS campaign was the last photo shoot I did just before the quarantine. I remember how happy I was when I got the news from my New York agent Julian Niznik that I confirmed this campaign! From the start of my career, my dream was always to be in a beauty campaign. It was one of my greatest goals in modeling. Even though I did many beauty photo shoots for magazines such as Vogue Italia, Harper’s Bazaar UK, Elle, Marice Claire, Madame Figaro, and even appeared on the covers of many more fashion magazines! I still never booked a cosmetics campaign. You probably know now why I was so…

THE NEW TREND – LOW WAIST JEANS
Who would have thought that showing off hipbones and abdominal muscles would be fashionable again? Low waist jeans that were popular in the early 2000s have reappeared all over! Generally low risers have been viewed as cheap, but should we always look at them the same way? The biggest fashion houses are now returning to this trend! The low rise cut was the most desirable style back in the early 2000s and all of us probably had a pair! This style with low rise pants showed off hips and flat bellies, very often with a bright belly ring. They where often worn with short tops in various styles – there…

ROSA GOLD CHAINS CAMPAIGN
One of my favorite campaigns is Rosa Gold Chains campaign. During our photo session I was able to see the latest collection by Agnieszka Rosa and I immediately fell in love with it! Notice how beautiful the rings and signet rings with carved stones: the inlaid golden moon lapis lazuli and the roses precisely cast in onyx. I’m obsessed with the delicate earrings with pearls and irregular surface! I think that the designer – Agnieszka Rosa has won not only my heart! So if you love delicate and minimalist design, I am sure that you will also love this collection. I am very happy and proud that I was one…

FACETIME PHOTO SHOOT
Today I will tell you about my photo shoot that I did with Wojtek Foit during quarantine! The photo shot took place remotely! Wojtek was in Warsaw and I – in New York! As you know, during the prevailing coronavirus pandemic, everything stood still. All work related to fashion had been suspended. Therefore, many photographers came up with creative ideas for photo shoots using video chat! It was the only way to keep a safe distance and not violate government bans on group meetings. I must admit however, that it was not an easy task. When Wojtek suggested that we do a photo shoot using Facetime, I immediately said without…

MAX MARA CAMPAIGN
During the Milan fashion week Spring/Summer 2020, one of my dreams came true. On September 18, 2019, I received confirmation that I was face to face for the Spring – Summer 2020 season of Max Mara. I was very happy! I flew to Apulia the day before. – I remember that day very well! Just before departure I had to do some castings, finish the last fitting for fashion show, and get a manicure and pedicure for the photoshoot. I have to admit that I had to rush to make it on time for the flight! Believe me, it was one of the craziest days in my life – of…

HOW TO SURVIVE A QUARANTINE WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND- MODEL’S PERSPECTIVE
Is the thought of being stuck at home for four even more weeks got you sprinting out the door? We are all going through this difficult, unpredictable, and therefore stressful time together. My mindset has been, well if I am stuck at home. I want to use that time to better myself and to try to be productive. I’m not gonna lie, on some level I have been enjoying this isolation. I am lucky to not have had any health issues related to the virus. Having been forced to stay at home, has made me be more productive and showed me that you can still have fun in such circumstances. …

BACKSTAGE ROSA GOLD CHAINS
In July 2018, I was booked as the model for the campaign of ROSA GOLD CHAINS, a Polish jewelry brand. At the time I was not sure that I would be able to do the work because I was extremely busy with jobs in Paris and London. Ultimately, the dates all worked and I was able to confirm the job. I arrived in Warsaw the day before the shoot and had to wake up at 5 AM the next morning in order to avoid the morning rush hour traffic on our way to the location (which was outside of Warsaw). From the moment we left the hotel things did not…

THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER PART 2
Fashion week In September, I went to Paris for Fashion Week where the 2015 Spring/Summer collections were presented. The first fashion show that I ever walked was for Christian Dior. It was a breakthrough moment for me, because it gave me the opportunity to work with Raf Simons. During this Fashion Week I also walked in the Elie Saab, Tsumori Chisato and Andrew GN shows. It was beyond exciting for me to participate in these fashion shows. I fell in love with the fashion shows and realised how they were a celebration of art and vision of the greatest fashion designers. I was hooked and continued to walk Fashion Week…

THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER PART 1
Castings in Paris It was only a few hours after my mother agency sent my casting photos to IMG Paris, that I found out that the agency wanted to see me. As soon as possible! It didn’t take me long to decide. I got on a plane and flew to Paris for my first meeting with the agency! I was in Paris for only a few days, but it was extremely hectic. Upon my arrival, I immediately went to the agency to meet everyone and take test photos. I learned that my stay in Paris was meticulously planned! Every day I had important meetings with designers, casting directors and photographers. …
