Yahoo! Model of the Month Laetitia Casta Brought to you by GUESS Interactive. Standing 5'8" with her long dark blonde hair framing her alluring face and bright blue eyes, Laetitia Casta could stop a clock. Voluptuous, youthful and sensual, she is the essence of the GUESS image in its advertising. Born and raised in Normandie and Corsica, France, in the middle of an animal-filled forest, Laetitia has a down-home charm that's truly infectious. Her discovery by Paul Marciano, the president and creative director of GUESS, Inc. has brought her international exposure and worldwide recognition. At age 15, Laetitia's interest in modeling was sparked when she was discovered by a photographer while laying on a beach with her family. While on a trip to Paris shortly after, Paul Marciano selected her to make her debut with GUESS in an advertising campaign shot by Neil Kirk in Jamaica in October 1994. Since then, she has worked for GUESS in many campaigns as the GUESS Girl. Now 18, her latest GUESS campaign, "Stretch," was shot by photographer Dewey Nicks, in beautiful Palm Springs and Laguna Beach, CA. Happy and healthy, she currently lives in Paris with her mother, father, older brother and younger sister. When her hectic schedule allows, Laetitia enjoys car racing with her friends, traveling, cooking with her mom and spending time with her 7 year old sister. Laetitia also has a brown belt in Judo. She feels that her experience with Judo has helped her in her modeling career to have control, to set limits for herself, to not be aggressive and to think with her mind not with her emotions. With a great sense of humor and a good head on her shoulders, Laetitia looks forward to a bright future. For now, Laetitia "would like to continue modeling for as long as [she] can", but she is interested in getting married and having a family someday. She said that acting is also something that she would be interested in doing in the very near future. Confident and self-assured, her motto remains, "If there's someone knocking at my door, I will open it." Past Model of the Month: Drew Barrymore Also check out Yahoo! LA's Web Celeb.
