Karolina Kurkova

(born February 28, 1984)

Karolina Isela Kurkova is a Czech model, best known as a former Victoria's Secret Angel, and an aspiring actress. Mario Testino said of Kurkova, `The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who could fit almost into any moment.` Vogue editor Anna Wintour called her the `next supermodel`. Karolina Kurkova was born in Din, Czechoslovakia, to Josef Kurka, a Czech basketball player, and a Slovak mother. While Kurkova was young, she was made fun of for her height. But after a friend sent photos of Kurkova to an agency in Prague, she - at 15 - landed a runway appearance, as well as a commercial and print advertising.[citation needed] She later traveled to Milan to gain more experience and signed a modeling contract with Miuccia Prada. In September 1999, Kurkova appeared in the American edition of fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue, and after moving to New York City at the age of 17, graced the cover of the February 2001 edition, becoming one of the youngest models ever to appear on the magazine's cover.[citation needed]
