Biography

Adriana Sklenarikova was born on September 17, 1971, in Brezno, Slovakia, a former state of Czechoslovakia. She was born in a financially strapped country, and stepping into a new world of fashion was not easy for her. She enrolled as a medical student in Prague then she took part in a modeling contest and won.

"I've changed my life from black to white. There was nothing like fashion in Slovakia. I would like to keep working in this amazing world after the ending of my modeling career. I appreciate the proposal of the Italian movie director Carlo Vanzina for making a movie, but I think that was too involving for me, I'm too busy now. I also think that a model should not diversify too much her objectives." Adriana Said.

With her incredible beauty and 6'1" frame, she has graced the covers of every men's magazine and was instantly snatched up by Next modeling agency in New York, and Elite Modeling in Milan. Though her big break came after being chosen as the new Wonder Bra girl (a highly visible contract that will add incredible exposure for her, in more ways than one), and she has been in plenty of advertisement campaigns since then.

The companies she has represented include 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. It was her campaign for Peroni Beer that really launched her career, where she appeared in TV spots and helped pave the road for her current success, by highlighting her as the ultimate beer woman.

Adriana has just signed a two-year contract with Wonder Bra, and is now part of the exclusive Victoria's Secret modeling team, a move that has spelled considerable success for other major super models such as Tyra Banks, and Daniela Pestova.

Adriana Karembeu is now happily living in Madrid, with her soccer player husband Christian Karembeu. The marriage was a major event in Spain in December of 1998, since 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.
