Eva Herzigova

This blonde beauty conquered the fashionable Olympus in the 90s. A girl from an unknown Czech town of Litvinov arrived in Paris after winning a French modeling agency beauty contest. The rise in popularity of the model began with an advertisement for underwear, the luxurious Eva Herzigova was even called Miss Wonderbra. During her long career on the catwalk, she worked with the best photographers in the world and conquered all the covers of fashionable gloss.

Eva was born on March 10, 1973 in the mining town of Litvinov, in the west of the Czech Republic. Jiri's father worked as an electrician in a mining company, his mother worked as a secretary. Parents raised their daughters - Eva and her older sister, instilling a healthy lifestyle. Eva went in for gymnastics, basketball, and went skiing.

The girl studied well at school, she knew mathematics and foreign languages ​​best of all - while still a schoolgirl she was fluent in three foreign languages. But she did not feel like a humanities student, she planned to enter the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Prague and did not even realize how drastically her biography would change soon.

In 1989, having arrived in the capital, the girl was not at the examination board, but at a beauty contest: that year, the Parisian modeling agency held a competitive selection in Prague. According to one version of this story, Eva did not want to participate and came for the company with a friend. As a result, the crown and the trip to Paris went to Herzigova, who eclipsed the rest of the contestants that evening, and the jury named her (height 180 cm, weight 60 kg) - "Marilyn Monroe from the East".

Paris stunned an inexperienced 17-year-old girl with a vibrant, bustling life, so unlike the measured rhythm of her hometown. It was just right to be confused, but Eva proved that she was not from the breed of muslin young ladies, and plunged into work with passion, so much so that a year later she invited her relatives to rest in St. Tropez.

Eva endlessly starred for advertising and often flashed on the pages of magazines, but still remained an ordinary model. Everything changed in 1994 when the Czech woman became the face of the "Hello, Boys!" Campaign run by the underwear brand Wonderbra. A black-and-white advertising poster shows Herzigova wearing a lace bustier that accentuates her seductive forms.

Advertising has become a real breakthrough. First, it has thrilled millions of men who have even been involved in accidents by staring at roadside billboards. Secondly, the campaign caused a social outcry: women said that such frankness humiliated their dignity. And thirdly, critics noted the artistic value of photography. Subsequently, the iconic poster was even exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 2011, it was voted the best outdoor advertising in the last 50 years.

These factors have dramatically increased the quotes of Eva in the model market, and she receives an offer from the American brand Guess, which was advertised by Claudia Schiffer from 1989 to 1991. Following in the footsteps of the famous supermodel Herzigova, the path to the high society of the modeling business has now been opened.

From 1999 to 2001, the Czech diva was a Victoria's Secret angel. In 2003, she became the star of the Versace and Hugo Boss campaigns. In the future, Eva becomes the face of famous fashion houses, participates in campaigns for the brands Louis Vuitton Givenchi, Alberta Ferretti, Emilio Pucci, Burberry, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, L'Oreal, DKNY, Roberto Cavalli and others.

Glossy editors lined up to get a cover photo of a Czech top model. And in different years her image adorned the first pages of "Harper's Bazaar", "Elle", "Woman", "Vogue", etc. On the cover of "Playboy" the girl appeared once - in 2004, naked to the waist. Eva posed for photographer Mario Sorrenti and hoped to draw attention to her swimwear line.

If you collect all the covers with Eve's photographs, then you can paste over all the walls in her huge house in London. Herzigova worked with renowned masters of fashion photography - Peter Lindberg, Paolo Roversi, Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen von Unwerth.

Having been in the frame of such professionals, you will inevitably become an actress, and the girl proved this by making her film debut in 1992 (picture "Inferno"). After that there was a small episode in the comedy "Between an Angel and a Devil" with Gerard Depardieu and Christian Clavier.

The first major work in the filmography of the actress was the drama Modigliani (2004) about the life of the famous artist. In this picture, Herzigova played Olga Khokhlova, the wife of Pablo Picasso. After several low-budget projects, the model starred in the Italian thriller Cha-Cha-Cha (2013).

The personal life of models is not distinguished by asceticism. Surely Eve was not an "angel" in this sense either. But the girl never had a scandalous reputation. The only time she was accused of anorexia and drug use was in 2002, when the top model appeared in the Calvin Klein campaign too pale and emaciated.

In 1996, Eva married Tiko Torres, drummer of the American band Bon Jovi. He was 20 years older and conquered his future wife with his versatile talents - in addition to music, Torres writes pictures, acts in films. The couple led a rich social life - they participated in TV shows, fashion shows, presentations, etc.

However, after 2 years, the couple announced their separation, saying that "they could not combine love and career." In the year of the divorce, a short-term romance linked Herzigova and the famous Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. According to rumors, the couple only dated for 2 months.

In 2001, the star finally found family happiness in the person of the Italian businessman Gregorio Marciaia, who manufactures luxury men's shoes and auto accessories. A tall, stately handsome man perfectly suited Eve for a life together. Their relationship is time-tested. The loving wife gave birth to her husband three sons: Philip (2001), George (2007) and Edward James (2013). The youngest son was born when Eve was 40 years old. The couple did not register the relationship for a long time and only in 2017 announced their engagement.

The renowned top model, despite her age on the podium, is in demand and is the face of several brands. In 2018, she appeared on the catwalk as part of Milan Fashion Week. Of course, now her employment is not the same as in her youth, but she doesn't need more. Taking care of children is time consuming.

The fact that Eva is successful, in demand and happy is evidenced by her Instagram, in which she does not hesitate to pose without makeup and other raids of glamor. There is a constant smile on her face, which means that everything is fine in her life.
