Melania began her modelling career at the age of 16, when she posed for Slovenian fashion photographer Stane Jerko. She was even the runner-up in the 1992 Jana Magazine ‘Look of the Year’ contest, held in Ljubljana.
She moved to New York in 1996, and met Donald Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York City in 1998. At that time, he was married to, but separated from Marla Maples.
