Photography and Interview by Lauren Engel

Tell me about your upbringing
I was born and raised in Poland and my parents are both Polish. I have a younger sister and no – she isn’t a model. laughs.

How did you start modeling?
I started traveling when I was a teenager and I got scouted by my dermatologist. You might don’t believe me, but this is the truth. All happened unexpectedly – I never thought that I could be a model.

What were you like growing up?
I was a student back home but I started traveling when I was around 16. So I don’t really know how it is to be a full time student. I was traveling and studying at the same time and I’ve always been into activities. I trained volleyball for four years and played football on a side and I danced ballet for 7 years. That was me before I got scouted.

What is the most difficult thing about modeling?
“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere.”
100% true. This explains exactly how I feel.

Tell me about your travels
I’ve been to Asia, Europe and the United States. I’m in Hong-Kong right now but I’ll be going back to New York in January.

What does true love mean to me?
Good question but it’s a very difficult one. I’d say it happens once in a life and you love till you die, but I might be wrong.

What do you think is the sexiest food? And guilty pleasures in food?
Chocolate brownies with strawberries and loads of chocolate on top.

Who is your celebrity crush?
I don’t have one because there is nobody else who inspires me more than myself. So jokes (actually true).

What is your dream modeling job?
I will tell you when I get it.

Do you have any fun or silly memories from shows / shoot?
Yes it was after Yeezy 2 show backstage. I accidentally fell on Kim Kardashian. It was kinda embarrassing because I didn’t see her at all.
