Modełka

Modełka (feminine noun) - A Polish word that translates directly to "little model" or "model girl" in English. It commonly refers to a young female aspiring to be or just starting out as a fashion model. The term carries connotations of youth and inexperience. It can be used endearingly or, less frequently, with a slight hint of condescension depending on context. Modełka implies a scale or level below a fully established and recognized "modelka" (model). The distinction is subtle but related to experience, reputation, and level of professional achievement within the modeling industry.
