I translated the rest of the article 
Here you go:
Glamour: So even queens of fashion have to work today. We used to hear about Naomi Campbell’s caprices, about being late, about broken contracts...
Anja: A lot of things are changed. We don’t have star top models like Naomi, Linda Evangelista or Cindy Crawford today. Okey, maybe we have Gisele Bundchen, but there are a lot people that don’t know her name. Even my grandfather knew who is Claudia Schiffer in 90’s. Everybody has to work hard now, the rivalry is pretty big. It happenes that the model at the casting has got a 200something number and there are a few or more castings per day, from 8:00 in the morning to late night!
Glamour: How it’s technically possible for you to be at so many castings in one day?
Anja: I have a driver in Paris and Milan, I come to casting, reserve a place in queue and we speed to another casting. I just sometimes must to jump the queue. However, in New York all of the adresses are close to each other, so the driver put out the models on the airport.
Glamour: What are the differences in style of working at fashion shows between Milan, Paris, and New York?
Anja: They are really different. Americans are the most proffesional, everything is perfectly prepared and planned. Of course, there are some mistakes, but not as important as in Italy. Italians treat fashion very loosely- a break for dinner, coffee, realxation... It sometimes takes a half of day, and they start working in the night. I had a cold during Milan Fashion Week once and I asked everyone to be one of the first girls at Jil Sander’s fittings- it was something about 11:00 pm. I went home to get some sleep. But I had a phone call at 2:00 am: “We’re sorry, but we gave you wrong clothes by an accident. You need to come now!”. Of course, I went there.
Glamour: What about France?
Anja: French style is between these two ones: there’s more discipline than in Italy, more leeway than in America. I think I like the French style the most.
Glamour: How much a well-known designer pay the model for a fashion show?
Anja: Rates are very different- from 800$ for an aspiring model to 20-30 000$ for a top model. Okey, maybe I exaggerated with 30 000$, but I think that model like Carmen Kass doesn’t earn less than 20 000$ for a show.
Glamour: Is the Fashion Week the best time for earning money for models?
Anja: No. You earn more at look-books production. They make them 2-3 weeks after fashion shows. Look-books are small books with pictures that show every detail from the collection- that’s how the clients are placing an order. But the best paid are concern catalogs. While I was living in Paris and I was finishing my school, I had a lot of costs: my flat, a very expensive English school- “Ecole Active Bilinque” where one term cost about 18 000 francs, and I had no time for work, so my agency found German clients to help me.
Glamour: Why German?
Anja: Because they pay very good.
Glamour: Bella Freud, an English designer, said once that she gave the models her clothes from the collection to pay for their work. Do you often get the clothes, not money?
Anja: Mostly in New York. Rarely in Paris, but Isabel Marant often pay using her clothes for that. Of course, these clothes is from the previous collection- this one currently in shops. Clothes that we shows- for the next season- can be ordered and retaken after few months, when they will be in production. We often can ask for shoes or etceteras- they aren’t sent to fashion magazines offices.
Glamour: Have you ever asked for something that absolutely amazed you?
Anja: Lanvin’s shoes! (this fragment I couldn’t translate...) I just had to have them! I had a similar situation with Yunko Shimada’s shoes: I was so amazed at the fittings that they gave them to me after the show. I also got in the same way Kenzo’s belt and Moschino’s bag and clips.
Glamour: Do you often talk with other models about the future- after finishing the career?
Anja: Rarely. These are very windy conversations. It’s something like small girls conversations about their future. Of course, it’s really cool to say: “I decided that I’m gonna work only for a year. I will earn some money and quick!” But it’s not real, nobody thinks about it seriously.
Glamour: What a crazy life: if you have a work, you don’t sleep enough, you don’t eat enough. If you don’t have a work, you’re stressed, you have no money, you still visit new places, meet new people...
Anja: That’s true. I sometimes wake up and think where I am and for who I am working. You can’t plan anything. I had a lot of situations when I was at the airport, I was getting to the plane to come to my country, to my family, and, suddenly, they call me from the agency and my travel doesn’t come off. They called me on Sunday once, said that in the evening I’m flying to Brasil for 2 weeks... You can’t be sure about anything. Clients are very capricious today. Agents called me in midday and said I won a casting. They called me again at 5:00 pm and said that the client changed his mind, at 8:00 pm- that, however, I’m having a shoot in the morning, at 7:00 am next week they cancelled it, they called at 11:00 am and said that I need to be at studio for 2 hours! It’s a well-known practice and I even don’t ask why the decisions are so weird. A lot of girls can’t stand this situation.
Glamour: It’s such a crazy life, but beautiful like clean adrenaline. Do you like it?
Anja: Very much. I work more and more, for better clients, my agency believes in me and supports me- I’m gonna be in NY’s NEXT in autumn- all these things really make me feel happy!

Hey, guys! Does anyone of you know where can i get the LV ads have anja in it?
It's the first time I heard that she did LV! Wow! I need to see it!
. It's really nice- and welcome 
OOh she looks lovely at Junko (Yunko) Shimada.
Thanks Amelia!
About LV ads - I'm not sure if Anja's in them. Gisele's the current face but it's rumoured Lindsay Lohan - yuck - is taking over. Personally I find LV really tacky and I'd hate Anja to do it....although I suppose commercially it'd be good for her.
I know Anja's current campagn is Dolce and Gabbanna but I've not heard of her as a possibilty for LV....
