Melania Trump career

Melania engaged in modeling at the age of five. She dedicated herself to modeling at sixteen when she first posed for the Slovenian fashion photographer Stane Jerko for the first time. She changed the Slovene version of her last name Knavs to the German version Knauss when she entered her modeling career.

She signed an agreement with a modeling agency in Milan, Italy, at eighteen. In 1992, she was second in the Jana Magazine Look of the Year contest, organized in Ljubljana. After dropping out of college in one year, she worked in fashion houses in Paris and Milan there in 1995; she met Metropolitan Models co-owner Paolo Zampolli, a friend of her future husband, Donald Trump. Zampolli encouraged her to visit the U.S., where he would wish to represent her. In 1996, Knauss traveled to Manhattan.

Melania was involved in a sexy photo shoot for the January 1996 issue of Max ( a French men’s magazine) and another female model. She also posed naked except for a few pieces of diamond jewelry for the cover page of the January 2000 U.K. edition of G.Q. magazine. When questioned about the photos in 2016, Donald Trump said, “Media was one of the most successful models, and she did many photo shoots, including for covers and major magazines. The Max photo was a picture taken for a European magazine before I knew Melania. In Europe, pictures like this are very fashionable and common”.

Melanie, in 2010, came up with her line of jewelry, Melania Timepieces, and jewelry for sale on QVC (Quality Value Convenience – American flagship shopping channel specializing in televised home shopping). She also marketed a Melania Marks Skin Care Collection at departmental stores. According to a financial estimate, her business profited between US$ 15000 and US$50000 in 2010.
