#WomanCrushWednesday – Anja Keca

Meet Anja, who graced the new “Telegraf” fashion editorial with Laura Gatta brand creations

Anja Keča was born in Belgrade and is 20 years old. She graduated from the 9th high school “Mihailo Petrović Alas” in Belgrade.

At the age of 18, I moved to the small town of Piazenca, in Italy. It is a small town not far from Milan, where I started my undergraduate studies. During the second semester of my studies, I lived between Dublin and Milan for three months. At the beginning of my studies, I met my current boyfriend, who is originally from Germany, and with him I started modeling, learning another language, and moved to Germany. Now I live in Heidelberg, and I’m currently studying, working at the P&G company in Darmstadt, doing my mandatory internship in the field of pharmacy and nutritional supplementation, and modeling – says Anja.

I am studying Food Production Management at Cattolica University in Italy, now in my third year. After completing my studies, I plan to continue my master’s studies in the field of nutrition in Germany. In addition to college, I plan to complete courses in interior design and fashion design – she adds.

As far as modeling is concerned, it is a topic that has been very volatile for her until this year. She started when she was little for the UMS talent school. After some time, she abandoned it and the subject was totally forgotten. After that, as the years passed, she was scouted on the streets several times but never took it any further. When she moved to Italy, she started getting offers from photographers to take pictures, and after moving to Germany it developed to a much bigger and more serious level. Now it is a profession that has changed her way of life from the roots and something she works for every day and gives, as she says, 200% of herself.

She sees her future as very bright and that everything she works on will pay off soon. She plans to work as a nutritionist and deepen her knowledge in that field more and more. In addition, she wants to build a career in modeling and eventually create something of her own.

I started practicing karate as a child and practiced it for 7 years, at the same time I practiced and tried some other sports such as tennis, volleyball, athletics, however, at the age of 14, I left all types of group sports and started periodically doing fitness and to run. In the last two years, I have been doing fitness and running at a more serious level, 5 to 6 times a week – says Anja.

She eats very healthily, she rarely has a cheat meal. It is not something that is difficult for her, but simply her way of life and diet that please her. It is based on very simple recipes, lots of fruits and vegetables and healthy carbohydrates. From meat and fish, she mostly consumes chicken, tuna and salmon, she tries not to eat it on a daily basis. 

She enjoys oatmeal and chia pudding for breakfast the most, while the rest of the day it’s potage, salads and a mix of various vegetables.

My biggest support in life are my parents. Throughout my life, they provide me with a lot of trust and freedom, and at the same time freedom of choice in my every step. My boyfriend is a great support for me in the field of work and future development, besides of course great life support in every field. In love, I want my partner to be stable and of his word. Mutual trust, honesty, support and a lot of love and will are necessary to maintain and build a healthy and beautiful relationship – Anja says.
