POLISH MODELS MONIKA JAC JAGACIAK

Dear readers of Sport&Beauty. Following our review to the world’s most beautiful models, today we’re traveling to Poland to meet one of the most promising fashion models, Polish model Monika “Jac” Jagaciak. Although she’s still very young, she was born in 1994, Jac has emerged into the fashion model in styl starring in ad campaigns for Hermes, walking for Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Gianfranco Ferré, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Cacharel, and Valentino amongst other top fashion labels and appearing in some of the most important fashion magazines like “Elle”, “Vogue”, and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Her beginnings in the fashion world were a bit controversial since, because of her youth, she was forbidden to walk in some of the world’s most important fashion events and got banned from some fashion magazines. Fortunately these problems were sorted out and nowadays her star shines unstoppable making it a safe bet in the world of fashion. Here you are Polish model Monika “Jac” Jagaciak.

Monika “Jac” Jagaciak was born on January 15, 1994 in Poznan. She grew up in a sport-loving family since her father was a coach and her sister, Anna, competes in long jump and triple jump. Who knows if hadn’t she become a fashion model perhaps she would have also been an athlete. According to Jac’s mother, Marlena, Monika is a good student who gets high grades at school and likes sports and painting in her leisure time. Her modeling career started in 2007 after being encouraged by her sister to attend a casting at a local shopping mall. After the contest, she signed a contract with the agency IMG which gave Monika the nickname of “Jac”. Soon after, Jac landed the cover of the issue of July of the French fashion magazine “Jalouse”. Being only thirteen years old she was chosen by Hermes for its Fall Winter ad campaign together with Canadian model Daria Werbowy. Jac who at that time was still at school was cast amongst other 600 girls after a tough selection process. Later in an interview she admitted that she had never heard about Hermes before the campaign which helped her to feel more relaxed during the photo sessions. However she had to take a lot of flak from those who believed she was still very young to take part in a campaign like Herme’s.

The following year, Jac Jagaciak started to travel around the world. The first stop in her journey was Japan where she landed on the cover of “Elle” magazine. In May 2008 she reappeared on the cover of “Jalouse” and in October landed the covers of “Harper’s Bazaar” and “Spur” Japan. She was also to appear on the cover of “Vogue” Australia but she didn’t because Vogue’s director decided she was still too young to grace the cover of a fashion magazine. Still in 2008, the Polish model was forbidden to walk in Sydney’s Australian Fashion Week since the organizers refused to accept model girls under sixteen. Jac, who thought herself to be mature enough to walk, judged this decision as unbelievable claiming that in 2003 Australian model Gemma Ward had made her debut being fifteen and in 2005 Tallulah Morton walked when she was only thirteen years old. Here you are Jagaciak’s data and measurements:

- Full name: Monika Jagaciak aka “Jac”

- Birth date: January 15, 1994 in Poznan, Poland

- Height: 180 centimeters: (5 ft 11 in)

- Measurements: 80-57-86 (EU) : 32.5-22.5-34 (US)

- Hair color: light brown

- Eye color: green blue

- Dress size: 34 (EU) : 4 (US)

Finally, Jac made her catwalk debut in the New York Fashion Week walking in Donna Karan’s and Calvin Klein’s 2009 Fall fashion shows and becoming one of the most notable newcomers of 2009 Fall season. Jac started to be known by her powerful way of trudging the catwalk. Later she walked in Milan for Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Versace although skipped Paris Fashion Week as she didn’t meet the age requirements set by the organization. By May 2009 Monika had already appeared in thirty magazine covers, was one of the top ten models to watch closely ( according “The New York Magazine”) and had become the image of Calvin Klein. In June 2009 Jac opened and closed in New York Calvin Klein’s resort fashion show and appeared in an editorial of “Vogue” France. In September the Polish model was considered a rising star by “Teen Vogue” and opened and closed in New York and Milan Calvin Klein’s, Bottega Veneta’s, Marni’s, Etro’s, and Pucci’s 2010 Spring shows closing Alexander Wang’s, Gianfranco Ferré’s, and Etro’s.

Dear readers of Sport&Beauty. Today’s installment is dedicated to one of my favorite models. Our guest is German and although she’s one of the renowned Victoria’s Secret angels she’s not as famous as other German models like Claudia Schiffer or Heidi Klum. She has walked for Gucci, Versace, and Valentino and landed the cover of some of the world’s most prestigious magazines such as “Elle”, “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Do you already know who she is? Bingo. Today’s post is dedicated to the beautiful German model Julia Stegner. Here you are Julia Stegner, a real stunner.

Besides her work as a child model, she studied ballet for nine years.


While studying at High School Julia discovered her passion for basketball and joined a team in her hometown. It’s obvious that being 180 centimetres tall she was naturally gifted for this sport. Just before turning fifteen the German model was discovered by a talent scout while eating a hotdog at Munchen’s Oktoberfest. The scout saw her and immediately got impressed by the beauty of that young girl. Julia was first signed by Tilla Linding a clothing company based in Munich and London and, although the model had planned to study accountancy after finishing High School, she moved to Paris to try her luck as a professional model. Here you are her data and measurements:
- Full name: Julia Stegner

- Birth date: November 2, 1984 in Munich, Germany

As you can see she was in really high demand at that time and joined Victoria’s Secret heaven participating in 2005, 2006, and 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Alyssa was one of the five newcomers together with Shannan Click, Kenza Fourati, Brazilian model Izabel Goulart, and former Guess model Kate Upton.

Talking about her hobbies we can say that Alyssa loves all kind of sports but due to her constant traveling she doesn’t have enough time to practice them. She’s been an active woman that played soccer from an early age and used to watch games with her father. Alyssa grew up in a sporting atmosphere and she either watched a baseball game or a basketball one. If I had to choose, I’d choose neither baseball nor basketball. I’d rather watch this gorgeous woman named Alyssa Miller. To conclude this instalment I'll leave you a slideshow with some Alyssa's pictures and some videos so you can see this gorgeous american model alive and kicking. Best regards.

COCO ROCHA CANADIAN TOPMODEL

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today’s post is going to be dedicated to one of the most beautiful models in the current fashion world, Canadian model Coco Rocha. She’s one of my favorite models because, besides being stunningly beautiful, Coco Rocha has a touch of mystery due, perhaps, to her piercing and enigmatic blue eyes. I’ll not continue this way because it seems I’m writing a mystery novel instead of an article for a fashion blog. Now let’s focus on Coco Rocha’s life and modeling career. Here you are Canadian model Coco Rocha. I think she’s really beautiful, isn’t she?

Best topmodels Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha was born in Toronto, Canada, on September 10, 1988 although her family moved to Richmond in the British Columbia at a very young age. From Irish, Welsh and Russian origin, Coco Rocha is the daughter of Juanita (a flight attendant) and Trevor (a plane ticket seller) and she’s got a sister, Lindsey, and a brother, David Morandin. Coco Rocha’s discovery happened in quite a funny way and was related with the fact that she is a lover of Irish traditional dance. In 2002 a scout talent named Charles Stuart approached Coco in an Irish dance contest and asked her whether she would like to work for him as a model. Coco had never thought before about becoming a model and she knew nothing about the fashion world, but she didn’t hesitate and decided to have a try in the fashion world. Looking at her angel face, it’s obvious that success was only a matter of time.

Coco Rocha started her modeling career in 2004 signing a contract with New York’s Supreme modeling agency. Two years later, Coco met the famous fashion photographer Steven Meisel and, soon afterwards, the Canadian model appeared in a magazine editorial together with fellow models Gemma Ward and Amanda Moore. This editorial marked the launch of her career and earned her to land in the cover of the issue of February 2006 of Vogue Italy. The following week, Coco trudged the catwalk in New York walking for the Spring Summer collections of some of the most prominent fashion designers such as Anna Sui and Marc Jacobs among others. In the backstage of Anna Suis’ fashion show, Coco met British model Naomi Campbell who held Coco’s hand and told her: “Coco, you’re my new favorite model”. Here you are Coco Rocha’s measurements and personal data:

During the unveiling of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall Winter 2007 collection inspired in Scotland’s Highlands, Coco Rocha opened the show performing an Irish dance on the catwalk. Coco’s performance surprised Vogue US magazine that named it “Coco’s moment” suggesting that it was a proof that supermodels had disappeared from the international fashion scene. Coco is one of the few models who dared to speak loud and clear about food disorders in the fashion world. Coco has recognized that being a newcomer she felt a great pressure and remembers she got haunted by weight problems after a trip to Singapore where she gained half a kilo. In an e-mail sent to Associated Press, Coco claimed she would never forget the advice she received when some people noticed her new situation and told her she had to lose some weight. Coco said that in the fashion world people search for models who look anorexic without being anorexic.
