Magda Kulpinska- model of the month - April

Proudly representing Poland, Magda is set to grace some high fashion magazine covers and burn up the catwalks. Standing at 5'9.5", this tender Polish eye-catcher has all what it takes to become a popular face within the fashion industry.
Our "model of the month" loves fashion photography, is delightfully polite and currently "trapped" on an island. We had the chance to interview this easy going new face...


How did you get started in the modeling business?
Magda: Oh, extremely conventional and unspectacular through sending images to agencies, haha!

Did you ever think you'd be doing this?
Magda: It's been my dream since I was 12 or so! However, I had enormous self-doubts at that time so I didn't contact any agencies (fearing they might say 'no') until I was 19. To answer your question, I wanted it with all my heart. I finally confronted my fear and succeeded.

What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
Magda: I like that question! I consider myself an artistic nature. Therefore, being part of a creative act, being able to give an image a little bit of myself is what helped me discover a passion for modeling. I can cause an "effect" - the most important thing in life as it has the power to lead things into an upward direction.
What I like least? Photography without the 'effect'. Oh, and diets!'

Have you encountered any surprises along the way?
Magda: Blimey, I have. I thought it's just about looking good but there are SO MANY things more important than that!

Ever get tempted to get pulled into the party scene?
Magda: I feel tempted to get pulled into parties where I can be truly myself and enjoy life. My last birthday party was like that (I had an excellent carrot cake on the way to one of my favourite places on earth in East Grinstead near London. This is the kind of party I really feel tempted to get pulled into.

Have you developed any new interests since you started modeling?
Magda: Yes! I wrote a 25 pages long essay about fashion photography. This was fun in its purest form.

What are your favourite things to do in your free time?
Magda: Baking a cake. Listening to classical music and reading a book. Eating 4 custard-filled doughnuts in 8 ½ minutes

Out of all the places your career has taken you, where was the most memorable?
Magda: Don't think bad of me but… a brothel in Berlin! We had a shoot there.

Where do you see yourself in ten years? What could be your next career?
Magda: In ten years? Saving the planet of something like that :-)

What are your beauty secrets? How do you stay in shape?
Magda: I try to eat healthy and regularly. However, I can't pass a chocolate store without buying something. I stay in shape through a positive attitude towards me and my life.

What would you want people to know about you?
Magda: That I recently discovered that one gets satisfaction through helping others. I didn't know that until recently!

Any advice for new models? What advice would you give other models starting out?
Magda: DO NOT take things personal. People express their opinion about your look, not about who you are or what you stand for. And - it is just an opinion.

Favourite all-time model:
Magda: My mother - muse to artists and shining star.

Favourite kind of food:
Magda: I'm addicted to vegetables and fruit. And sweets!

Favourite kind of music:
Magda: Mainly classical but I like punk as well. The Beatles are cool and I like the latest Justin Timberlake album.

Favourite quote:
Magda: 'What is true is what is true for you'

I'd like to meet:
Magda: A painter couple named 'Dormice'. I'd like them to paint me :-)

If I were trapped on an island I'd take:
Magda: Oh, I am actually. I'm currently on the British Isles and what I took with me was a lot of self-determinism and positive thinking. And I'm so happy to see first results!
