Anja Rubik the future of modeling

Anja Rubik is the new face to know in the modeling world. The 28-year-old Polish model was discovered while at school in Paris and went on to appear on 59 magazine covers and on the catwalk of 43 shows. She now has two more accomplishments of note, as the face of Kurt Geiger and Elie Saab’s new fragrance.  Anja appeared fresh and hip, dressed in a fur coat and this season’s must-have Dalmatian-print Chelsea boots, which appeared in her Kurt Geiger autumn/winter 2011 collection. As for the Elie Saab campaign, Anja looked graceful, sultry and feminine in a pale pink couture dress.  Fashion houses Fendi and Gioseppe Zanotti have also snapped up the model for the face of their collections. Despite declining it last year because she was uncomfortable with nudity, Rubik appeared on this year’s Piirelli Calendar shot by Karl Lagerfeld. She also appeared last year in a shoot with Terry Richardson, where she posed naked in line with their risqué style.  She told Fashionologie: 'I knew he would push it a little bit more, in a way that would be very risque, So that’s why it was stupid to accept the challenge because I thought I wouldn’t be capable.'
