Brought to you by

Interactive.
Eva Herzigova is
one of the top stars at Metropolitan modeling
agency in New York and Paris. Since 1989, when she
left her native Czechoslovakia, Eva has become one
of the most recognizable faces in modeling.
Succeeding Claudia Schiffer, Eva gained her
greatest exposure by appearing in GUESS? ads in
early 1992. The GUESS? campaign boosted her to
international stardom. GUESS?, Studio Line and
Wonderbra ads reinforced her image and likened her
to the "Marilyn" of the '90s -- strong and
uncomplicated.

Born on March 10,
1973 in Litvinov of the Czech Republic and standing
5'9," Eva stuns the fashion world with her bright
blue eyes, blonde hair and gorgeous figure. Eva
grew up in a mountain village in northern
Czechoslovakia until one day, on a visit to Prague
with her parents, she ran into one of her friends
who told her that a French agency was organizing a
modeling contest. At 16, she entered and won the
contest, and six months later moved to Paris, and
as they say, the rest was history! This
intellectual supermodel not only speaks four
different languages: Czech, Russian, English and
French but also enjoys traveling, cooking, reading
and playing tennis.

Even though she
doesn't have time to work out at the gym, as a
child she was active in many sports including
gymnastics, basketball, track and cross-country
skiing. She says she is lucky that she doesn't have
a sweet tooth but she loves French, Italian and
Japanese cuisines. She makes sure to drink plenty
of tea and water and eat lots of fruit for
breakfast every morning. As far as her beauty
secrets are concerned, every night she massages her
face with a cleansing cream then she applies lotion
and moisturizer.
