Magdalena Frackowiak

So many models have come and gone but very few are like Magdelena. She was the og bad bitch, crystal girl, business woman and a Victoria’s secret model. A cool diva that repeatedly stood up for herself. Everything I want to achieve, she has done it. I have grown up around Polish people all my life and she all the qualities I love about my neighbours. She is truly hardworking, she shares, she is kind but she has that inital coldness that a lot of Eastern Europeans girls emit, which I love. Everything about her is so magnetic. Her sharp look, her bright personality and her slight husky drawl that comes out when she speaks in English, switching from her native Polish.

She has the look. I don’t know what it is but I just want to continously look at her. Despite her strong features, she has that thing other Eastern European girls have that makes her look delicate and ‘feminine’. I love her features because she reminds me of me. We both have the wide set high cheekbones and I had never really cared for them until her. She always stuck to a miminal makeup look and she wore black.. a lot. Guess who now wears minimal makeup and wear black !! I found it the most fascinating that at the time of sharpie eyebrows and dark-brown contour sticks, she was sticking to what she liked and what she suited. She didn’t give in to fit in with the current trends and she didn’t let pressure get to her. She always wore the most beautiful black dresses and loevly pieces of jewellery that she desgined. Her signature black choker was always present in her looks as well. She kept the feminine look and looked dainty but still had that sharpness. She was very much a no bull-shit perosnality and I think that is why she came out so strong. She was a diva and she owned it. She knew who she was and she was solid.

She was an amazing model. Few models do commercial well and even fewer can do high fashion but she did both flawlessly. It is quite hard to be able to do high fashion runway, magazines and VS. She was a Victoria Sceret Angel and she fully deserved the title and the acollade. Her end poses were some of my favourites of all time. A lot of other VS models would look constipated or they would look like how a child would look pretending to be sexy. You could tell that Magdelena didn’t struggle with that because she lived as a ‘Bad Bitch’, seduction was her natural state, and that put her above a lot of other VS models. I remember when the internet went wild because of her reponse to the question ‘What are you going to eat after the VS show’. Her response was perfect. She didn’t freeze up or say something awkward, she put her foot down firmly and called the reporter out for asking her a stupid question.

She has now deleted her instagram but back in the day she would have this ‘bad bitch hours’ where she would give you pep talks and tons of advice on absolutely everything. She would cuss, she would shout and she would absolutely make sure that you got it in your thick skull about the importance of self-love, self-care and self-respect. She would talk for 20 mins straight on her stories about setting boundaries and not letting people step on you. At 14, 15 I learned a lot from her and I am always thankful for her advice that I continue to use for the rest of my life. She was transparent before models being candid was a thing. She spoke out about being hwp before it was a thing, she would tell women her seduction secrets, her secret diets- what she did for her fellow women was admirable. I don’t think she had ever even heard of the word gatekeeping. She was all about Leave No Women Behind and she backed that up all the time.

I am so sad that she has now left the public eye but I will always be here rooting for her. I love her so so much but I don’t think I can ever quite express the love I have for her. She shaped my teenage years and because of her I didn’t fall prey to the usual insecurities that a girl in her teen years would go through. Wherever she is, I wish immense happiness and love for her.

Much love from her true fan,
