Anja Rubik
Finally, a beautiful Polish model in every magazine. I love Anja Rubik, she has undisbutable beauty. She is currently doing the Dolce & Gabbana ads and the Tod's ads.

There is already a thread on our beautiful Anja: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f52/anja-rubik-10174-68.html?highlight=anja+rubik. please post there 
^ yes, you're right. It hasn't been posted so far Thank you 
I made a translation of an interview from Glamour (September 2003). Here is a part number one. Hope you like it
Anja Rubik, 20 years old, 179 cm.
She came from Czestochowa, has been
Working for NEXT in Paris for 3 years.
She’s one of the best Polish models that work
For well-known designers and the most
Important concerns of beauty and fashion
IT’S NOT ME WHO WAlKS DOWN THE RUNWAY
Glamour: What’s the most important thing at fashion shows?
Anja Rubik: The most important thing is that it’s not me who walks down the runway. It’s the dress I’m wearing. A good model doesn’t present herself, but the designer’s collection. You have to play with the clothes, show their possibilities: look, there are the pockets, here is a unique decolletage, and look how this skirt is composed...
Glamour: Which shows are the most prestige for models?
Anja: These ones without castings: Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Versace... Models are invited at them, it’s usually a permanent group.
Glamour: Who usually chooses you?
Anja: I always walk for Stella McCartney, who probably likes me, for Valentino- because my type of beauty suits to classical things. I used to work a lot for Alexander McQueen, but I haven’t been doing it for 2 years.
Glamour: Why?
Anja: You never know. Everything depends of designer’s idea, of luck, even sometimes of a caprice.
Glamour: How close is the contact between model and designer during the preparations for the fashion show?
Anja: It depends of the designer. Stella is impulsive, spontaneous, she often asks „What’s up?”. She’s very direct. It’s not that she’s vulgar, but in generally... Karl Lagerfeld is very nice- kind, open-hearted.
Glamour: It’s hard to believe- Lagerfeld has an opinion of inaccessible person among the journalists. And this stone face, dark glasses, a fan...
Anja: I think it’s a pose for media. It’s such a nice person. I was very nervous at his show once and it was him who saw it, he started talking with me: how I felt, what I though about my outfit? He explained that I can wear it with long gloves and immediately, by using a few lines, he drew a part of a woman in this glove. I spontaneously exclaimed: “Oh! It’s so beautiful!” He smiled and asked “Really? You like it? So I will make another one for you”. He signed it and gave me! He was very open-hearted for us. But it’s true- when the journalists and the photographers came, he was very official and stiff.
Glamour: Does every model have a one dresser?
Anja: At least one. When model is falling, all of the “free” dressers are running to help her: one of them is unbuttoning her buttons, the other one is taking off her shoes, the third one is holding the etceteras...
Glamour: What do you mean “model is falling”? Literally?
Anja: It looks like this: Your last steps, you’re falling, you are dressed up and undressed. Dressers are very important. We rarely talk about them, but a good dresser is a half of success. The best ones are experienced, older women. If there is a young woman, she’s nervous, her hands are shaking and then the model is also nervous: you start thinking that she can forget about something or she won’t do something at time, you’re nervous because they’re calling your name.
Glamour: There is often a motive of rivalry backstage in films about models: someone steals somebody’s shoes, block on the runway. Is that all true?
Anja: It’s nonsense. The show is a collective work. Everything has to run perfectly- only then we’ll do it great. Girls help each other. I’ve done a bridal show of exclusive Spain label “Pronovias” lately and Karolina Kurkova was changing a tail of her dress- she was asking us when it looks the best. She’s a professional, she can perfectly sell every clothes. She’s one of the best models and she’s worth it.

She looks so much like an elongated Valentina here (and that's a great thing!).
I was just about to quote this picture and say how much I loved it but you beat me to the punch!
Thank you for new pics,

Sorry
