I believe it's one of her earliest editorials/shoots in print, at least in Poland if I'm not mistaken. I remember stumbling on some discussion over her being scouted and origins being murky, I think over here, but thread was very old - Anja was found through Uroda's recurring contest called Dziewczyna Urody, which ran in every issue during late 90s they (I need to check if it was continued past 1999) and magazine published pictures of girls who won that month, they were signed up with local agencies after that. Anja did in November 1997, in March 1998 the same magazine reported after being featured she signed up with Paolo Tomei Models and went to Milan to build a portfolio. She also was on Uroda's cover in July 2000, I need to check if there is more of her early work in Polish magazines from this period.

I managed to find even earlier shot with her, also from Uroda. In credits, there's a mention of her being the Nov 1997 winner of Dziewczyna Urody.

E: Seems some of her 1998-2001 work from Polish mags was posted here earlier in 2008 but half of images are broken. I'll scan them from my own copies and repost them.

Last photo is pretty much the Anja we know today, it has all the mannerisms she adapted later in her career. Goes to show how important it is for models to have a "training" phase.
