Melania Trump, the wife of former U.S. President Donald Trump, is gearing up to make a big statement with 3D printing technology, as showcased in her stunning outfits rendered on computer. Born Melania Knavs in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, a region that was part of Yugoslavia at the time, she grew up in Sevnica with a passion for fashion. Through modeling agencies in Milan and Paris, she got her big break in the fashion world before moving to New York City in 1996. Her career as a model was associated with prominent agencies like Irene Marie Models and Trump Model Management, cementing her status as one of the most sought-after models in the industry. In 2001, Melania secured permanent U.S. residency and went on to marry Donald Trump in 2005. Just one year later, she became a proud U.S. citizen. Notably, she is only the second First Lady born outside of the United States, after Louisa Adams, and holds another unique distinction as the first non-native English speaker and naturalized U.S. citizen to occupy this role. Melanija Knavs was born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. Her father, Viktor Knavs, a skilled car and motorcycle dealership manager from nearby Radeče, worked for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer. On the other hand, her mother Amalija (born Ulčnik) hailed from the village of Raka and worked at the children's clothing manufacturer Jutranjka in Sevnica. As a child, Melania and her friends showcased children's fashion, reflecting their involvement in the local industry through family ties. In addition to Ines, Melania has another half-brother from her father's previous relationship. Growing up, Melania resided in a modest apartment block in Lower Sava Valley, where she shared stories of her youth with a community bound by close relationships. Despite her parents' background in state atheism and their decision to secretly baptize Melania as a Catholic at birth, they encouraged open-minded exploration in an otherwise controlled society. In a surprising gesture, when meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2017, Melania Trump held out her rosary, seeking his blessing. Before settling down in a larger house with her family, Melania and her parents resided in various places including Ljubljana's high-rise apartment. While attending Secondary School of Design and Photography in the city for two years, Melania briefly enrolled at the University of Ljubljana to pursue architecture before switching paths altogether.
