Magdalena at Valentino

Magdalena Frackowiak was born in Gdansk, Poland on October 6th, 1984 and was destined to be a model. Her Mom had sent a photo of her to a Polish modeling agency for a contest and after winning the contest she was scouted by Model Plus Agency in Warsaw, Poland.

In April 2006 she landed her first cover for Italian Glamour and then interview by Polish Elle. Her big break came when she opened for Spring 07 Yves Saint Laurent runway show in Paris and at the time style.com proclaimed her the model of the season.

She has had non-stop success since then.

In the same year, Frackowiak became the face of Ralph Lauren and landed more covers for Vogue Italia and did an extensive amount of editorials for Chinese, German and French Vogue as well as Harpers Bazaar and Flair.

The following year, she was featured in copious amounts of editorials in top magazines and renewed her contract with Ralph Lauren and was featured in Oscar De La Renta’s ad campaign with fellow Polish supermodel Anja Rubik.

Frackowiak currently lives in New York City and has taken an interest in architecture which she hopes to do in the future. Right now though she is completely focusing on her modeling career and considering she was named “model of the moment” in April 2009 in Bazaar and featured almost everywhere from editorials to ads and constantly walking the runway, it doesn’t look like she’s going anywhere anytime soon except to Milan, Paris, New York and back to do it all over again.
