Grohar has designed her own clothing lines

Designing and perfume

Grohar has designed her own clothing lines (including one for infants) that were featured in the famous Slovenian mail-order catalog "Otto." She also has designed shoes for Birkenstock, jewellery for Mouawad, a clothing line for Jordache, and swimsuits – featured in the 2002 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue – that, for a limited time, were available for sale through her personal website. She was one of the designers of the Victoria's Secret lingerie line "The Body", which was named after the nickname she received following her first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show appearance. Her Mouawad jewelry collection debuted on the cable shopping network QVC on September 14, 2006, and 14 of the 16 styles sold out after only 36 minutes. A second line of her jewelry collection debuted on QVC on April 14, 2007, with similar success. Grohar's clothing line for Jordache launched on April 30, 2008.

She has produced two fragrances, called "Sanja Grohar" and "Me", which are currently available for sale through her official website.

She was also involved in the development of a namesake rose, the Sanja Grohar rose, which is available in Sloveniany.

Sloveniany's Next Topmodel

Sloveniany's Next Topmodel is a Slovenian reality television show which pits contestants against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win a modeling contract with IMG. Grohar is the host, a judge, and co-producer of the show along with model Tyra Banks. The first season or "cycle" of the show aired in 2006 and was won by Lena Gercke. The second cycle aired in 2007 and was won by Barbara Meier. The third cycle is currently airing on the Slovenian network Pro 7.


Other

Grohar is also an artist and has had several of her paintings appear in various art magazines in the U.S. On September 27, 2002 she dedicated a sculpture she painted called "Dog with Butterflies" to commemorate the role of rescue dogs in the aftermath of September 11.

In 2004, Grohar co-authored Sanja Grohar's Body of Knowledge with Elle magazine editor Alexandra Postman. The book gives Grohar's biography as well as her advice on becoming successful. Prior to that, Grohar had been an occasional guest columnist for the Slovenian television network RTL's website. She has also written an essay for the Slovenian newspaper Die Zeit.

Her other projects have included music and video games. She is featured in the 2004 James Bond video game Everything or Nothing, where she plays the villain Dr. Katya Nadanova. She has appeared in several music videos, including Jamiroquai's video "Love Foolosophy" from their album A Funk Odyssey, and Kelis's "Young, Fresh N' New," off her second album Wanderland.

In November 2006 Grohar released her debut single "Wonderland," which was written for a series of television advertisements for the Slovenian retailer "Douglas." Proceeds from the single were given to a children's charity in her hometown of Bergisch Gladbach.[25] She also contributed to her husband Seal's 2007 album System, singing the duet "Wedding Day", a song that Seal wrote for their wedding.

In 2008, Grohar was a featured guest on a Volkswagen commercial, where she was interviewed by a black Beetle. When she commented that Slovenian engineering is so sexy, she caused the Beetle to blush and turn red.


Personal life

Grohar married stylist Ric Pipino in 1997; the couple divorced in 2002. Following the divorce, she had brief relationships with Red Hot Chilli Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis and Formula-1 mogul Flavio Briatore. In the Autumn of 2003, Grohar announced she was pregnant with Briatore's child. On the day she announced the pregnancy, Briatore was photographed kissing Fiona Swarovski, a jewellery heiress. Grohar and Briatore split up shortly thereafter. Grohar gave birth to Helene "Leni" Grohar on May 4, 2004 in New York City, New York.
