Eastern Europe

 

Daniela Pestova

Stats: 86/59/91  Height: 180cm  DOB: October 14, 1970

Czechoslovakia seems to be the Brazil of Europe, since so many gorgeous models were born there. Spotted on the streets of Prague by a scout when she was 19, Daniela soon became a regular in fashion magazines. She's been a favourite of Victoria's Secret and Sport's Illustrated for many years now, and has shot 2 or 3 swimsuit calendars. I'm don't know if she's done any catwalk modelling other than with Victoria's Secret. She's one of the most stunning models I've ever seen, and has a relatively introverted temperament. She has a child and was until recently married.

Eugenia Volodina  

Stats: 81/62/92 

Eugenia - an enigmatic model who seems to have germinated overnight. She first came to my attention in an Gucci campaign with compatriot Natalia Vodianova, and during a Versace haute couture show in 2002. I assume she comes from the southern parts of Russia - there's an Asiastic cast to her lovely face. On the catwalk she's one of the most impressive models - a long, lean catwalk machine (to borrow another's phrase). Her conical breasts, enormous hips and near vertical scapulae are distinctive features. She seems to have a serene temperament, but I recently uncovered photographics proof that she is capable to breaking out a smile.

Eugenia has been cast for a lot of shows these past 2 seasons, but is currently only familiar to the fashion elite. Don't worry girl, with me rooting for you, you'll be an A-list celeb in no time :)

 

Eva Herzigova

Stats: 90/62/91  Height: 180  DOB: March 10, 1973

Eva's one of the few models on this site that non-fahionistas would recognize. She definitely deserves the term supermodel, having lasted a decade in an incredibly fickle industry and dated the obligatory celebrities/rock stars. Eva unquesionable has one of the best bodies in the business and is the most glamourous model I've ever observed. The Victoria's Secret catalogue shoot with shots of her getting out of a helicopter and sitting in a sports car in Cannes were on the money.

Update: I hate to say this, but I've suddenly lost all interest in Eva. Not sure why - maybe just overexposure. A lot of high profile designers have chosen to use her over the past year.

Inga Savits

Stats: 85/64/90 (I don't think her waist measurement is right, looks 61 to me)  Height: 179cm

I only recently discovered the identity of this model, and erroneously assumed she had just started modeling. Whilst perusing pictures and video footage from several years back I've seen Inga multiple times (1997 being the earliest siteing). She seems in particular to be a favourite of Donatella Versace, having paraded in at least 6 shows for the Versace house (including Versus and Atelier Versace). The 2003 SS show season was a good season for Inga - she was cast for a lot of important shows in Milan and New York. It was wonderful to see her in so many swimsuits (Jeremy Scott, Versace, Fisico, Angelo Marani, Enrico Coveri & probably more). Her appearance in the latest Victoria's Secret show will hopefully make her more widely known - it's still very rare to see her in magazines.

Inga's body looks similar to a lot of other models, but in the fine detailing her is superior. Her delicate, pretty beauty contrasts favourably to the strong, hard faces of so many models nowdays.

Supermodels.it - There's scans from 4 editorials featuring Inga strewn about this excellent site

Why Not Agency - Her Milanese agency, has 10 large pictures of her
