Biography (in her own words):
I was born on June 4, 1982 in Zagreb, Croatia. I have modeled for over five years now. When I was 11 I persuaded my mother to take me to a model agency where I learned basic steps as a model. I became Midiken's model when I was 10 years old. I appeared for the first time on the cover of TEEN Croatia magazine in 1995. The photographer was Dusko Vlaovic. I was only 12 years old at the time. Shortly after, accompanied by my parents and my Midiken agent, I visited Milan, New York, and Los Angeles where I made my breakthrough modeling for the large Pantene Pro-V campaign. After that followed TV commercials, covers of Croatian magazines. At the age of 13½ I became the youngest Croatian model to appear on the cover of ELLE Holland shot by photographer Jonathan Muller and also featured in an eight-page editorial inside. Ever since I became a model, I worked with almost every leading photographer and appeared in almost every popular international magazine. I was also on the Croatian beauty contest in 1996, and I was the runner up 2nd place. In 1997, I gladly accepted an invitation by MILA to be photographed for their cover. My first shoot for the magazine was taken with my mother Zeljka. Journalist Sonja Braut wrote the article, while the photographer for the shoot is one of the most renowned Croatian female photographers, Berislava Picek, more commonly known by her nickname "Beri". I have done a fashion show for Issey Miyake, Christian Dior, Cacharel, Kenzo, Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, and Enrico Coveri. In April of 2001 I was on front cover of Croatian issue of COSMOPOLITAN, and the editorial published in US April issue photos made by Marc Baptiste. Also have been featured on the cover of COSMOPOLITAN Czech May 2001. I have appeared on the cover of the prestigious French magazine Madame Figaro. I was photographed by Rasmus Mogensen. I have been featured in advertisements such as Anna Molinari, Chanel, Chaumet Spirit, Esprit, Georges Rech, IKKS, Armani, Mango, Naf Naf, Pantene Pro V, and Sweet Dreamer, GAP, Esprite, and VIPnet. I am simply adored by Spanish men. I have been four times modeled for the prestigious Spanish company MANGO, and in January 2000 I appeared on the cover of the second issue of the MNG magazine. I have been interviewed for Jutarnji list. The early start of my career didn't interfere with my personality. I am simple, fair, good, and in one word "charming," which is the meaning of my name in Croatian. Midiken is proud to be my principle agency. I work abroad for the following network agencies: NEXT in London, Paris, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. I am also working for: FASHION - Milan, AMT - Vienna, and NEW GROUP - Madrid & Barcelona. I just love traveling to different modeling locations, it's very exiting. Being a model has truly been a rewarding experience. I enjoy every aspect of my modeling career and I look forward to new opportunities. I am currently available for assignments world wide, but will travel with paid expenses.
