What’s your favourite show or shoot you’ve done and why? I took part in a harlem shake for a fashion website.

Worst fashion mistake? When I was 12 years old I let my best friend cut my hair.

When do you look your best? On a good morning.

What would your last meal be? Probably potatoes cooked with olive oil.

Describe your style? Messy!

Where were you scouted? I applied to a website for models, musicians & actors. I got a few commercials from it when I was in Spain & things just went from there.

Dog person or a cat person? Dog.

Your most embarrassing moment? I split my trousers when I was on a shoot. When they were trying to get them on me the knees just popped!

What would you do if you weren’t a model? Be a student and work in a pub.

Who would play you in a movie of your life? Audrey Tautou.

What is your earliest memory? When I was about 4 years old living in Germany. I remember trying to dress myself & showing off all my outfits to my mum which made her laugh.

What do you dislike most about your appearance? Everything I disliked when I was young I seem to have finally grown into now!

The last lie you told? When I was in Cuba I pretended I was a student so it was cheaper for me to take the bus. I made up a whole story, it was pretty fun.

Who would be your dream dinner date? Karl Marx, I’d tell him off for being sexist.

What’s your greatest fear? Failure.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why? A wolf  because even in a pack they are still quite independent.

Last time you cried? The day before yesterday.

Age: Almost 19

Hometown: Legnica, Poland

I was scouted: When I was 13, I was very shy & not confident about the way I looked. But my Mum kept pushing me to compete in Miss Teenager Poland, which I won. I then met someone who worked at an modelling agency, so I went there & they really liked me.

Favourite place in the world: Morocco

Career highlight so far: The Dolce & Gabbana show was amazing. I enjoy shows more than shoots as it’s a moment to be different — everyone is looking at you and you can really make your mark. It’s also a nice chance to catch up with friends. Last season I walked Paris, Milan & London, so hopefully this season I can do New York too.

Myself in three words: Emotional, honest & so messy!

If I could have one wish: To have the people I love close to me.

Favourite food: Italian. I love bread and pasta, when I was in Milan I literally ate it all day every day.

I was scouted: Over a year ago in Manchester when I was coming home from college. I was studying languages which is something I would still like to do.

Hobbies: Reading, listening to music, shopping and I make sure I keep practising my languages. I speak English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguse, French and my African language.

Couldn’t live without: My computer as I love to Skype with my sisters.

Last thing I bought: Shoes for my brother-in-law.
