Her bio from her personal website:

Angelika was born in Latvia and moved to Finland at the age of 14. One year later she knocked on the door of Paparazzi, the largest modeling agency in Helsinki, looking for a chance, but she was sent home to wash off the heavy makeup she was wearing. Lesson learned, she went back to the natural look and soon she was awarded her first contract. It was the beginning of a fruitful twelve-year career of a supermodel.
Being an international top model Angelika has lived and worked all over the world, including Paris, New York and Miami. Her natural beauty has graced the covers of many leading magazines, such as Amica, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Glamour, Marie Claire and Vogue, to name a few. She has worked with Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace, Valentino Ferreti, Donna Karan, Feragamo, D&G and many famous photographers.
Currently Angelika resides in New York City and is represented by Next in Miami, Ford in New York, and Paparazzi in Helsinki. In addition to modeling, she runs a lingerie design business. Life is a journey for her and she makes it an exciting one. When her destiny fails to offer interesting opportunities, Angelika is out there actively searching for them. She is humble about her looks and strongly believes that success is the result of confidence, hard work and professionalism.
She is active and athletic believing that fitness is the key to physical beauty and health. Among Angelika's favorite activities are martial arts and yoga. She runs three miles every day and gets around town on her bicycle. This intense daily routine is an integral part of her life and the way she achieves balance and relaxation. Madonna and Celine Dion are Angelika's role models. She regards them as powerful personalities who managed to prevail over the hardships of life and achieve incredible success through dedication and perseverance.

Wow, thank you for great finds! Once I searched her, but didn`t found a thread. I was too lazy to start my own, and I wouldn´t have these old pics anyway. She is still gorgeous, she was on the cover of Finnish Elle, May issue. Though, I have to say this photo is not the most flattering one.

Wow, great stuff! Thanks so much guys for your posts. I'd never seen those Bergdorf ads before.
I still have some more runway pics and other stuff that I'll be posting here eventually.
In the meantime, here are two more of the D&G ads.
