Just call me "Jac"

Monika "Jac" Jagaciak (born January 15, 1994) is a polish model. Since signing with IMG in 2007 Jagaciak has been given the nickname "Jac" by the agency.
Jagaciak's modeling career began in 2007 after she was encouraged by her sister to attend an open casting call at a shopping center in Poland. She was then picked up by IMG who signed her and in July 2007 she appeared on the cover of French Jalouse. Her big break came,at age 13, Jagaciak went on to land a Hermes campaign for the Fall/Winter 2007 season alongside Daria Werbowy, beating out 600 other candidates while still in primary school. Jagaciak stated in a later interview that before doing the campaign she had never heard of Hermes, nor had she heard of the photographer of the shoot Peter Lindbergh, "I think not knowing helped me stay relaxed" she said.Though Jagaciak's photos incensed critics, who were upset at the idea of sexualizing girls at such a young age. Soon after, Jagaciak began traveling overseas for her career and in 2008 she traveled to Japan where she landed the cover of Elle.In May 2008 she appeared for the second time on the cover of French Jalouse, and in October 2008 Jagaciak also landed covers for Japanese Harper's Bazaar, and Japanese Spur.Since then Jagaciak has shot editorials for magazines such as Numéro, Japanese Vogue, Vogue Paris, and Vogue Italia. Jagaciak had to sit out fashion shows, due to age regulations.
After waiting 2 years, at 15-years-old, she made a splash in the Fall 2009 shows, debuting at New York Fashion Week, walking in a slew of shows, from Donna Karan to Calvin Klein Collection (which she opened and closed), becoming one of the most talked-about newcomers of the fall 2009 season.She became known for her powerful runway walk — even though she fell on the Hervé Léger runway, she went on to close both Marc Jacobs and Marni. She has gone on to walk in Milan too, walking for Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Versace, and many more, but she didn't meet the age requirement to walk in Paris so she skipped those. As of 1 May 2009 she's been on thirteen magazine covers.And became one of the "Top Ten Models to Watch" by New York Magazine. Designer Francisco Costa said of her when she became the face of Calvin Klein, "She possesses a timeless beauty that gives her the ability to be highly versatile, making her one of the most promising new models today."
She appeared in the Fall/Winter 2010 campaign for Valentino alongside Freja Beha Erichsen, the Fall 2010 Chanel beauty campaign, and the Fall 2010 Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Frida Gustavsson and Ann Kenny. However, her contract with Calvin Klein ended for the Fall/Winter 2010 season, and Jagaciak was subsequently replaced by Dutch model Lara Stone. She made the spring 2011 "New York Fashion Week’s Top Ten Models" list at No. 7 opening for Tommy Hilfiger and closing shows for Derek Lam, Richard Chain LOVE.
