sorry for my english 
first page, title
"JAC, how she does it?"
Name: Monika Jagaciak. Nickname: Jac. Age: 16. Profession: Top model. Campaigns: Chanel, Calvin Klein, Hermes, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferretti. Top Model Ranking: 10th.
captions close to pictures
"She was born with the special thing, she's made for modeling" said about Monika's acting talent photographer Peter Lindbergh while they were shooting together for Hermes.
Monika doesn't only pose. Sometimes she stands on the other side of the lens and stylizes photoshoots for Gaga Agency.
INTERVIEW part 1
(blah blah blah interviewer is writing about his meeting with Monika and her agent Kasia and about Gaga's Agency seat)
Marcin Świderek: You've just come back from holidays. Relaxed?
Monika Jagaciak: We were in Greece. Unfortunately, only for a week. We planned to be together but my sister had been qualified for IAAF European Athletics Championship in Barcelona and dad was with her.
MŚ: You are the untypical family. You - model, your sister - sportswoman. What about parents?
MJ: They are teaching PE, that is my dad is a coach and my mum is a PE teacher.
MŚ: Don't they want you to take after them?
MJ: Since i was four i was going for sports camps but everything changed when i attened on Gaga's casting.
MŚ: How old were you then?
MJ: Nearly 13.
MŚ: It must be hard for your parents, two daughters away form home all the time.
MJ: They encouraged us to do this. They've supported our choices.
MŚ: How did you cope with everything in that young age?
MJ: At the beginning i was with my mother everythere; in New York and Japan twice, mum wanted to see by herself how it looks, because she didn't know a lot about modeling - rumours are various. Next i started to travel with Kasia (Rusin, owner of Gaga Agency). But even if model go away alone, she keeps in touch with agency by Gadu-Gadu (polish communicator) or telephone. When you are upset, you can always phone your booker, no matter what is the time.
MŚ: Did your parents trust in Kasia on the spot?
MJ: My dad did, he can recognise good people. Kasia cares not only about modeling, but about our school and private life too. She is a friend of my parents and one can always drop into agency, say hello. Whole Gaga team is like big loving family.
MŚ: But Gaga is small agency. Doesn't it disturb you?
MJ: I won't call it "small". Maybe Gaga doesn't have as much models as others, but every girl works abroad and i can be the best cause that Kasia is ready to take model on the top. And location in Poznan? (5th biggest city, in western Poland) That doesn't really matter. It's professional agency with contacts worldwide. It's not hard for us to get great orders, in our country too.
MŚ: Do you remember your first casting?
MJ: Me and my mum went shopping to Stary Browar (shopping centre in Poznan). There was the Gaga casting, i'd known about it, but my mum was suprised that i'm interested in that king of things. I was one of the youngest girls. Kasia suggested me a contract before i left Stary Browar.
MŚ: ... and our career rolled very quickly.
MJ: Two months later IMG agents came to Poznan, to Gaga's. They made a short movie with me and I signed a contract. It was such a shock for us, i was only 13! They invited me for the test shoots in Paris. I did some, and my first cover - for "Jalouse".
MŚ: And soon the very first campaign too, in addition, for Hermes.
MJ: Then "Hermes" meant really nothing for me. Me and Kasia were in Cannes and someone phoned that they were searching a teenage girl for Hermes ad. I won the casting. The photographer was Peter Lindbergh and the photoshoot was located on the beach in Normandie, where he made his big studio. Besides me, there was Daria Werbowy, male model and nine-year-old girl. We posed with scarfes and hats. And soon it turned out my picture were in main campaign, not for teens.
MŚ: Did you like working with Lindbergh?
MJ: For me he was like a grandfather. Very kind. He comes from Poland too, he was born in Leszno, near Poznan, so we had some common topics. Half year ago we did a cover for Numero. I was surprised that he'd remembered me and the fact, that we came from the same sides.
MŚ: You were 14 and your pics were showed up in luxury magazines. How were you seen in your town?
MJ: In school no one knew about my work. My mates didn't read Vogue. I was in school, because agency did everything and i could work at weekends and holidays. They found out when i left for 2 months. In Japan.
MŚ: Agencies often send their models there.
MJ: Yes, girls learn modeling in Japan. But i didn't like it. I had a lot of work, i slept about 4 hours and i didn't see anything. Good, i was with mum. She helped me a lot. In Japan there was many young girls who dreamed about model career, but when they didn't have any shoots, they started to party... In Singapour there was differently, better, it's great city. I want to be in Singapour again, but only as a private excursion. Agency won't send me there now, because i'm at the other level.

INTERVIEW part 2
MŚ: Fashion houses, which you had been working with, didn't mind your young age?
MJ: I had one unpleasant situation. When i flight to Australia for fashion week, people started to argue ovet model's very young age, and, unfortunately in that scandal they used exactly my name. On of australian newspaper sent a journalist to my little family town. He waited next to my house and watched me when i was going to school. On Fashion Weeks in Australia and London models can't work if they are under 16 year old. In Paris they can't work by night. That i lost another Hermes campaing because Paolo Roversi wanted to shoot right then.
MŚ: But you were in New York.
MJ: Yes, my very first Fashion Week. I was walking with map, on Manhattan everything was near and i could go on my foot or move around by metro. In Paris and Milan it's much difficult and model gets her own driver.
MŚ: Your stay in New York was very successful.
MJ: I got Calvin Klein campaign. At the beginning, they booked me on show, and few minutes before the show someone said "you will go first". And rumors had it that i would appear in their main line advertisement.
MŚ: How was the shooting for Calvin Klein campaign?
MJ: It's nearly like the shooting for magazine editorial. I can say, maybe a little modest than. We shooted in Hamptons. There were only David Sims (photographer), stylist Camilla Nickerson and assistants.
MŚ: Klein's session isn't stylized by Karl Templer?
MJ: Well, Karl stylizes only CK lines, not Calvin Klein Collection. But he's a perfect stylist too. We did Valentino and Interview editorial together.
MŚ: That session named by your name "Jac". That's something special.
MJ: It's only a nickname. IMG Agency devised it, because the name Monika for them was too common. Booker from IMG said "Jac", and i liked it so.
MŚ: You are posing for world's most influential photographers. With whom do you like working the most?
MJ: Well, the biggest number of shoots i have with David Sims, i work the best with Peter Lindbergh, but maybe Steven Meisel has the greatest methods of work. When he took a photos, he put a big mirror next to the model and let them to watch their reflection, it helps a lot. At the other side he is a little withdrawn. I think i won't pluck up courage and come up to him.
MŚ: This season you are in Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferretti ads. That many campaigns in one season - such a big success.
MJ: For Klein i did two campaigns in turn, i was an exclusive, so i couldn't work for anyone else. When my contract ended, i didn't know if anyone will want me to be in their advertisement. But this year will be the most important for me, because in IMG i'm not gonna be in the "New Faces" section anymore, i will move into main woman section. I have been assigned a booker, who is with Sasha Pivovarova and Daria Werbowy. They told me that i will be very busy when autumn will come (guys do you see that?
)
MŚ: What about school?
MJ: Teachers supported me. I could pass the subjects earlier and go for Fashion Weeks and photoshoot. We will see how it will look now. I start high school in September.
MŚ: Aren't your friends jealous?
MJ: Rather angry, that i leave them so frequent. I'm a little out, but if i have two choices: new cover of Numero in Paris, or a school trip, now i would choose second one. Agency tries to arrange my work in weekends and free days.
MŚ: How are your contacts with other models?
MJ: Better and better. Sure, girls living in New York know each other better, but i got some friends: Frida Gustavsson, Kasia Struss, Hanne Gaby Odiele.
MŚ: I have heard that Hanne Gaby is a true party animal...
MJ: She seems to be, because she is so crazy and easy going. On the backstage she fools around. But for this work distance is necessary. Girls who take it very serious or very freely, often don't work out. To show off is not good too.
MŚ: You are appearing on the runaways in Milan, New York, Paris. About 50 shows per season. Where do you ear the biggest money?
MJ: The biggest rate is in Milan, because there are the most famous brands. Model can earn even a few thousands dollars per show. In Paris and New York it's about a few hundreds. But it depends on model, big names (long time in business) scores big money.
MŚ: You have one beauty campaign. For a model, it's like winning an Oscar for an actress.
MJ: I signed two-year contract with Chanel. When i was choosen, i didn't do any of Chanel shows. Peter Philips, main make up artist, said that they'd wanted me because i have "plastic, malleable face". I think Sølve Sundsbø had an effect on them, he works for Chanel, and i had a shoot with him earlier.
MŚ: You worked with Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris.
MJ: Carine is my favourite stylist. Of course Camilla and Karl are perfect too, but she is unique. I can say that she is a little like a mother for models. Sometimes girl during the session says "i'm fat", and she says: "you are not, you are pretty as you are". Sometimes she advises something honestly. Carine has many clothes on the session, but it's not true that she have an army of assistants, she comes with one co-worker and one assistant. And she dresses models for photos by herself.
MŚ: You are trying to be a stylist too.
MJ: Yes, but i'm not treating it very serious. I len my clothers for test sessions in Gaga. I learn a lot from watching our stylist work during the shoots.
MŚ: You can dress yourself very stylish.
MJ: But it's something other than dress someone, being a stylist. That's an other kind of story.
MŚ: What kind of clothes do you like?
MJ: A little teen, a little grunge. I rather not buy designer clothes, because of money. I buy in Topshop, Zara, only sometimes i can afford to Alexander Wang or Balmain. But it is known that models like spending money on clothes.
MŚ: Are you on a diet?
MJ: No, i just look on what i'm eating. I care abou my body because it's my tool of work.
MŚ: But we will end the cake?
MJ: For sure!
MŚ: Fashion houses, which you had been working with, didn't mind your young age?
MJ: I had one unpleasant situation. When i flight to Australia for fashion week, people started to argue ovet model's very young age, and, unfortunately in that scandal they used exactly my name.
