Adriana Karembeu - Biography |

|
|
Adriana Karembeu (born Adriana
Sklenaříková on 17 September 1971) is a Slovakian fashion model.
Karembeu was born in Brezno, a town in central Slovakia (then a part of
Czechoslovakia). Having originally studied medicine in Prague, she gave up
her studies to become a fashion model at the age of 26. She was hired as
one of the models for the Wonderbra, and she was popular in Europe for her
Wonderbra billboards. In the United States, she modeled for Victoria's
Secret. She is also in Guinness book of records for longest legs in the
world.
She was born in a financially strapped country, and
coming to a new world of fashion was a big change for her. As she says:
"I've changed my life from black to white. There was nothing like fashion
in Slovakia. I would like to keep working in this amazing world after the
ending of my modeling career. I appreciate the proposal of the Italian
movie director Carlo Vanzina for making a movie, but I think that was too
involving for me, I'm too busy now. I also think that a model should not
diversify too much her objectives."
With her incredible beauty and 6' 0" frame, she was instantly snatched up
by Next modeling agency in New York, and Elite Modeling in Milan. Though
her big break came after being chosen as the new Wonder Bra girl, Adriana
has been in plenty of advertisement campaigns.
The companies she has represented include Argentovivo, Byron Lars, Laura
Biagiotti, Levante Hosiery, List, Love Sex Money, Onyx Jeans, Peroni Beer,
Red Point, and Roberto Cavalli. It was her campaign for Peroni Beer that
really launched her career, and helped pave the road for her current
success, by highlighting her as the ultimate beer woman.
Adriana has just signed a two-year contract with Wonder Bra, and is now
part of the exclusive Victoria's Secret modeling team, a move that has
spelled considerable success for other major super models such as Tyra
Banks, and Daniela Pestova.
Adriana is now happily living in Madrid, with her soccer player husband
Christian Karembeu. The marriage was a major event in Spain in December of
1998, since Adriana is one of the best known models in Europe, and her
husband is the star of one of the country's leading soccer teams. On 22
December 1998, she married French football player Christian Karembeu. |
