Model Veronika Vařeková

Czech it out! :-D


Veronika Vařeková - whose name is sometimes presented as Veronica Varekova - is one of the most successful models of the turn of the millennium. She came to New York to study at the Parsons School of Design, but, as with so many beautiful women who sought to study art and design, she got discovered by a modeling scout and ended up a cover girl for the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.  Among other publications. 

Her advertising credits include brands such as Gap, Chanel, Escada, Emmanuel Ungaro, and beauty products Nive and Pantene.  Ms. Vařeková has posed for big-name photographers such as Patrick Demarchelier,  Ellen Von Unsworth, and Peter Lindbergh.


Fun fact:  Veronika Vařeková climbed both peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro.  ("I thought there was only one peak, sir!"  Actually ,there is - old Monty Python joke. :-D)  Seriously, folks, she did climb Mount Kilimanjaro, in 2008, and her interest in Africa led her to become a goodwill ambassador for he African Wildlife Foundation.
