Get to know Polish model Ada Wrzesinska photographed by Juan Barbarich.

What brought you to modeling in the first place?

I would say myself. I always liked fashion and I had a desire to travel the world. Since I was young I felt like having potential to be a successful model. (laughs)

What has your profession as a model taught you for your personal life?

To trust myself and believe in myself. To appreciate my life and the opportunities I get. To respect people around me and other cultures. And it has taught me to be mature and an independent strong woman.

Do you have any role models within the fashion industry, like someone you would love to work with?

I think I would love to do a Calvin Klein underwear campaign. (laughs) Their advertising campaigns are always super minimal and kept only in black and white. I think I would fit with this perfectly.

Are you an introvert or extrovert?

I like spending time with people but I also value time by myself. So I guess I am an ambivert.

Beauty means…?

To love yourself, to accept yourself, to take care of yourself on the outside and inside.

Success means…?

Making my dreams come true and achieving every goal. To love your work and be good at it.
