| Adriana Sklenarikova was
born September 17, 1971, in Brezno, Slovakia, which was the former
Russian state of Czechoslovakia. During her childhood, she was faced
with some difficult times as a result of being in a poor country
seized with war. Adriana has often been described as shy, with a
very strong character. Adriana was enrolled as a medical student in
Prague when she took part in a modeling contest and won. It was a
big change for her coming into the fashion world, it was like
entering an underground culture.
Adriana is a vision, to both look at
and admire, she is truly the essence of beauty, and at only 28 years
of age, she is at the prime of her life. An accomplished model
appearing on virtually every men's magazine, she has graced the
yearly issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Whether
it's the long flowing blonde hair, or the sultry lips, there is
something magical about Adriana.
With her incredible beauty and grace,
Adriana was quickly contracted by Next Modeling Agency in New York,
and Elite Modeling in Milan. Another big break came after being
chosen as the new Wonder Bra girl that added incredible exposure for
her, and she has been in plenty of advertisement campaigns since
then. Adriana has represented many big companies including
Argentovivo, Byron Lars, Laura Biagiotti, Levante Hosiery, List,
Love Sex Money, Onyx Jeans, Peroni Beer, Red Point, and Roberto
Cavalli.
In 1999, the weekly magazine L'Evénèment
published a list of favorites where in the French erotic dreams
Adriana is listed together with Sophie Marceau and Laetitia
Casta. This was the start of brilliant career as a model in
Paris. Adriana's modeling contract with Peroni Beer paved the final
stretch to fame, where she appeared in TV spots. She is now part of
the Victoria Secret modeling team with other great supermodels like Tyra
Banks and Daniela
Pestova.
Adriana is now happily living in
Madrid, with her soccer player husband Christian Karembeu. Their
marriage was a major event in Spain in December of 1998. 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.
