One of the best and most versatile fashion models in the world, Anja Rubik was born in Rzeszów, Poland. She began her modeling career soon after graduating from a British high school in Paris. Anja has been featured internationally on the covers of fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Numero and Nylon, and worked for the world's most famous fashion designers including Givenchy, Chanel, Valentino and Christian Dior.

FASHION ICON - RACHEL ZOE

By Eva Fydrych


Rachel Zoe is an American fashion stylist best known for working with celebrities, advertising agencies, magazine editors, fashion houses and beauty firms. Born in New York City, Zoe has worked with high-profile clientele, although she does not have any formal fashion training. Her current client list includes Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Kate Hudson and Eva Mendes - to name just a few.

Her book containing styling tips "Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty and Everything Glamour" that was co-written by Rose Apodaca, made it to the New York Times Bestseller List. Rachel is planning to launch her own collection, that will include accessories, shoes, and apparel, in the fall of 2011.

Rachel's distinctive fashion style is often referred to as a "boho-chic" look: oversized jewellery and sunglasses, loose-fitting dresses and shirts, fur vests; prints, florals, and bright colors paired with earthy tones. The look, based strongly on bohemian and hippie influences, had its height in 2004/05 and was associated particularly with Sienna Miller and Kate Moss in the United Kingdom and Nicole Richie and Olsen twins in the United States. Boho is all about looking individual and natural, stylish yet comfortable. More about the look: Boho-chic.

“I don't believe in changing my style because something's a trend ... People are mislead: They think because it's a trend, they should do it. And it's not going to work.” - Rachel Zoe
