MALGOSIA is one of the seven models of the 2009 edition of the Pirelli Calendar. Born in Krakow, Poland in 1977, she quickly became a successful runway and editorial model appearing on the covers of many international magazines including Italian, French and British Vogue, V Magazine and Harpers Bazaar.

She has worked on many campaigns including Tiffany, Calvin Klein, Gap, Lanvin and Marc Jacobs and has worked with many great photographers including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier and Mario Testino.
