I remember two names Cseh Annamária (face of Thierry Mugler Angel pefume Ad) and Görög Zita. Do you think they are? [/b][/quote]
Well I think Görög Zita is quite famous...

mexico i'd say fernanda travers.

fernanda tavares is brasilian!! mexico's most famous model is, of course, elsa benitez, and the comes one of my personal faves, liliana d

Paulina Porizkova is the biggest star that came out of Czech republic. She's huge. She got the Estee Lauder contract when at the time its one of the prestigious in the beauty industry, now I think they sell-out when they started hiring 3 models. Paulina starred in movies and of course, Sports Illustrated when it's the "deal-maker" of it's time. She's huge!!! Karolina has no solid beauty campaign, and Eva's big break was the Guess campaign in the 90's.

Yasmeen Ghauri is Pakistani-Canadian.

[PrinceOfCats]

Using model in the loosest sense possible then Catherine Deneuve for France.
Definitely Kate Moss for England, I know plenty of people who wouldn't even recognize Twiggy.

 

[stripes]

UK - Kate Moss
Poland - Kamila Szczawinska
Belgium - Elise Crombez
Brazil - Gisele Bundchen
czech republic: Hana Soukupova
canada: linda evangelista
Ukraine: Milla Jovovich

Tyra Banks perhaps for U.S. and in terms of fame I think Naomi Cambell (sp?) is a strong competitor for Kate Moss. Naomi is household name. She's capitalized on her fame more and is in the media more often I think. Kate Moss is famous but not as much as Naomi outside of the fashion world.

 

[Nemova]

Who said France didnt have anyone?Caprice, Noemie, Letitia casta

Isn't Caprice from England?


In Brazil, definitely Gisele. Ana Hickman and Fernanda Tavares are also famous because they're on tv now (Mariana Weickert had enough "sense" to follow their footsteps, since her modelling career seems to be going nowhere).

[iluvjeisa]

Since noone mentioned my country...

Sweden (some I remember, past and present) - Emma Sjöberg, Marcus Schenkenberg, Mini Anden, Paulina Porizkova, Madeleine B, Adina Fohlin, Caroline Winberg, Karl Lindman, Alex Lundqvist, Beiron Andersson

Sweden....surprisingly few good models, IMO.

Really vintage: Carrie Nygren, Gunilla Lindblad...
I really think that Emma Sjöberg is the most famous model from Sweden with some competition from Schenkenberg. All the others seem to be less significant one hit wonders. Unless Caroline Winberg puts in another successful season....
