October 26, 200915 yr PANI Magazine November 2009 Photographed by Marcin Tyszka Styled by Agnieszka Scibior
October 26, 200915 yr From Pani magazine: My translation: Name: Monika Jagaciak, nickname Jac was invented by her Paris agency Born: January 15th, 1994 She lives: near Poznan First casting: Organized by her mother agency in Poznan - she was 13 back then Debut: Soon after, when she was still primary school student, she landed Hermes campaign alongside Daria Werbowy. Monika beat 600 other candidates. Two days after she was in France for shooting. Her first photo session was done by Peter Lindbergh. 'Before the Hermes campaign I didn't even know the brand and hadn't heard about Peter Lindbergh' - Monika says. Monika's best features: She's sensitive, intelligent, open - 'Sometimes at their first shooting models are very stiff' - says Monika's agent Kasia Rusin - 'others need few hours to worm-up. Monika was great from the very beginning, she immadietely got every photographer’s directions. School: ‘Education is a priority’ – says Monika’s mother – ‘Monika finishes every year with only A grades’ Achievements: When she was 15 she walked for the first time the most important shows in New York and Milan. She shot for the magazines like: Vogue (American?, French, Italian editions), Numero, Interview. The worst experience: Scandal during Australian Fashion Week. ‘I was about to open some shows, when a journalist realized I was only 14. Soon, under media’s pressure the limit of 16 years old was set. I didn’t realize about the mess I caused. I stayed at home and, as usual, went to school. Suddenly, I noticed I was followed by paparazzis. My scared mum ran on the street to stop them. It were journalists from Australia – those who started the whole scandal.’ The best moment: -‘It was February 2009 and ad campaign for Calvin Klein – the brand that started big career for Kate Moss. After the casting, the told me that I wasn’t chosen for my face or body, but because of my character’ – says Monika. Competition: ‘Huge! Luckily Slavic girls are ranked very high’ – says Jac. In the first 20 there’re 5 Polish models. Monika is there too, now everytinh is up to her.
October 26, 200915 yr Olga Maria thanks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for translating the Text in English!! I've asked someone at TFS but no one aswered. So thanks again, unfortunately I don't spek a word polish So it's nice from you, because I really wanted to know what the article is about! Is it bad that I posted it on TFS? :heart:
October 27, 200915 yr My mum bought that PANI issue yesterday and it's great!! I'll always love this magazine if they will always be like that-promoting our great models. There is that pic from her 1st ed there... I thought at first that snake is some kind of a necklace and then I noticed it's a real animal :ninja: brave girl. And is it only me, or Monika really looks a bit like Eniko Mihalik in this second ed (with straightened hair)? And it's great to hear that Monika's school marks and character are great
October 27, 200915 yr I knew she had to be great student aswell. That girl is perfect in every aspect
October 28, 200915 yr Unpublished shots from Pani: [mateuszjerzyk.com via Dona @ tfs] The 3rd one is amazing :shock:
November 7, 200915 yr I've found a short article in Polish tabloid, where is said Monika got 1 million dollars for her Calvin Klein campaign. I doubt this is true and I just posted it, because there are no other news about Jac The article (in Polish) is here: http://www.se.pl/archiwum/moga-zostac-miss...dzi_113807.html
November 7, 200915 yr It's just a tabloid, don't believe them But I think she could earn really nice money, since it was an exclusive campaign; or she got million for multi-season contract. I don't know I'm waiting impatiently for some campaign news, I hope we will have some info on JAC's work soon
November 8, 200915 yr Oh yeah, I also hope for some news. I hope it isn't an exclusiv contract with CK again, so that she can get more campaigns. Hate it to hear nothing new
November 8, 200915 yr I actually prefer her to stay CK exclusive: it's more prestigious than having some random 4 campaigns and there's no risk with over-exposure. But definitely I want some news
November 14, 200915 yr She shot an editorial for Bergman Goodman! The pics are stunning! http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catal...terId=cat296610
November 14, 200915 yr Wow, she was 177cm tall at age 13 Well, I wish both of Jagaciak sisters successes in their careers
