Anja Rubik is a Polish born supermodel, activist, philanthropist and creative.  She is considered to be one of the most internationally successful and influential models of the mid- to late-2000s to today. Rubik has featured in campaigns for the most notable houses that included Saint Laurent, Chanel, Valentino, Gucci and Versace, just to name a few. She has become one of Karl Lagerfeld’s most recognizable muses and helped launch the career on Saint Laurent Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello where she continues to be the muse behind his designs.

Over the years Anja Rubik has transcended the fashion world into social and environmental issues in many forums and many different platforms. Since 2017, Rubik has been a Creative Consultant and Ambassador for Parley and works tirelessly with the organization to bring to life global campaigns about ocean awareness and sustainability. In 2017, Rubik launched the #sexedPL campaign that developed into a movement and ended up becoming one of the most innovative educational concepts in Poland. #sexedPL is a revolutionary platform that focuses on educating the community on various aspects of sex education, including personal hygiene, different sex orientations, STI’s, use of contraception, self-acceptance, consent, teenage rights, promoting the idea of tolerance and conversation about sex. The project now has a life of its own and is growing stronger every day with 13 million views on multiple platforms and 160 000 sexedPL books sold on sex education.
