HANA SOUKUPOVA
THE ELECTRIFYING WORLD OF FASHION THROUGH THE EYES OF THE YOUNGEST CZECH TOP MODEL
NOT EIGHTEEN YET AND SHE ALREADY BELONGS AMONG THE MOST WANTED FACES OF THE FASHION WORLD. WE MET HANA JUST AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO FLY TO THE AUTUMN FASHION WEEKS WHERE SHE FINALLY ENTERED THE EXCLUSIVE WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL TOP MODELS.

When we met at the end of the spring in Prague, it was just year after she had got her very first opportunity to work for the best designers at their great shows. No doubt. Hana made an impression. From the moment she did her first prestigious fashion editorial, her life changed abruptly several times and the young model made a great jump into the fashion work. Here in the Czech Republic you might not háve seen her face or heard her name, but trust us that shortly this is going to change. In current autumn shows of collections for spring/summer 2004 Hana appeared more frequently than Eva Herzigová and Karolina Kurková together. But how is seventeen-year old Hana coping with this sit-uation? Here is her story...
Hana sits in a Prague restaurant and looks relaxed. Year ago she set out from her native Carlsbad into the world and now she had an opportunity to enjoy herself in the way seven-teen year old girls normally enjoy their lives. She went to visit her grandparents in the country, played with her dog, had a chat with her sister and went for summer swimming. After a week of holidays with the family she will again také the plane to New York, where recently she started to live. It is certainly very interesting but at the samé time quite strange when a seventeen years old girl works from morn-ing till evening and makes huge sums of money. But such is a live of any top model. On the other hand, only a few of them experience this as early as in their seventeen. You could count them on the fingers of your hand. Yes, Hana has had an extraordinary success. So far, she says, she can cope with it. And perhaps it is better that she is that young - the things and events happen around her faster than she is able to realise. True, she works with the best fashion photographers and the best fashion designers. But so what? She still can remain a normál, modest seventeen years old girl.
Hana's agent, Lenka Jochová, her closest friend - apart from the family, of course - says Hana was happy to skip quite quickly the period in which the teenagers work on ordinary commission just to get experience. "We sent Hana to Paris quite early, to present her and to find out whether there is some interest in her." The long-legged model went from casting to casting and often heard the simple uniform answer: too young! In spite of the fact everybody around her thought she was just the face that could impress in
Paris. These were oné of the toughest weeks in her short career.
"I was in Paris month and a half and I did not work at all. Every day about five to seven castings and I could not get any commission. I stayed in a hotel with another model and sometimes we went to swim or had a walk around the Eiffel tower. Week before I was supposed to leave for home, I was commissioned to do some photographs with the photographer Liz Collins for Numero, oné of the most popular fashion magazines in Paris. And this was the break point. Since that time I háve been getting more and more commissions," she says and great reliéf can be heard in her voice. "Yes, I was pretty nervous. I had such great hopes at home and suddenly I had to say to myself: well, just a month and I go home with nothing... But the last week it has all changed and I was so happy..." Before Hana left for the fashion world for good, she started studying at the secondary school of ceramics in Carlsbad but had to quít soon: "I wanted to stay because I liked it, the people in the school were just great. And to be honest, I wept while I was leaving..." Oddly enough oné of the most wanted models in today's fashion world first has not really been interested in fashion and she even did not wish to become a model: "Only when there was Fashion TV on our cable TV I dreamed that I would like to be one of them. But I pre-ferred playing basketball - I played for nine years," says long Hana. "Then I stopped, I had no time for it."
Hana Soukupová is indeed a girl that makes an impression on first sight. She is hundred and eightytwo centimetres táli, has an angel's face and beautiful auburn hair. Although she dresses quite modestly, people around always turn their heads after her. She herself would prefer to be "less conspicuous". I ask whether she still remembers how as a little girl she tried on her mother's shoes in front of a mirror and imagined herself a model. With a smile Hana says that she preferred to pose in her basketball shorts. Well, basketball ... oné can see she remembers Carlsbad
 
continuing...

...with affection. Most she misses the nátuře around. "If I could I would go camping somewhere in nature. When I am in New York for three months, with all those skyscrap-ers around mé, there is nowhere to go to relax. I miss camp-fires as well as other things I ušed to do before. Back horné, we live right on the edge of the town and my father used to také mé and my sister for a long walks in the woods." It is only a question of time when young Hana will háve to jump into the complex and difficult celebrity life and will háve a bunch of managers around her all the time. Apart from her Czech agent Lenka Jochová she is represented by four different agencies in the four main capitals of the fashion world. After several months in Paris she moved to New York earlier this year. Currently she lives there on her own and as Lenka says she is exceptionally independent and self-sufficient and is not - happily - a riot party girl. In the city that never sleeps she has a small flat, which is yet to be fully furnished. "Currently I háve only a běd, sofa and a couple of wardrobes," she says showing us a photo of a small room. "I drew some pictures to make it more cosy, I framed photos of my friends and I made a collage out of it. The fiat is very nice. It is on Manhattan, near Soho. China Town is near so it is rather alive. What I like most in New York is going out to the nearby market and just simply shopping for fruits". In New York she is represented by the DNA agency. "They are all OK and I like them. Most of the time I spend probably with my booker Butterfly. She always calls mé and we go for a meal, sometimes shopping oř to the cinema...." says Hana who is in touch with her closest via phone. At this early age it is definitely not easy. I ask whether she has some friends from school still left. "I háve oné friend and we text one another when I am abroad or I call her. I am in daily contact with my mum oř sister although I am not extremely fond of text messages." Hana's hectic life has been documented in a film for Czech TV Nova which was shot during the last months and is about Hana and her closest friend from Carlsbad. How does she herself perceive the comparison of two young girls? "I trav-el a lot and I think this will make mé more independent sooner, I know the languages, many interesting people. But on the other hand I am so away from my closest friends and relatives. For instance when I was for the first time in Japan for two months I could not speak to any of my friends because the telephones were so expensive. Then I learned that this profession has also the negative šidě." And the negative šidě is not negligible. Although it may seem that a young girl will make a fortuně just out of her good look, this is not the čase, námely during the spring and autumn shows, when during oné month she has to trav-el through New York, London, Milan and Paris, get up at fíve oř six o'clock every day and walk oné fashion show after another. Every evening she falls tired into the běd. It gets slightly better during the rest of the year. Hana trav-els to shoot the fashion editorials for prestigious interna-tional magazines and thus has a chance to show what she has to offer. Even during her shooting in Prague everybody praised her for her significant improvement. As in any other field of human activity to work on oneself is the ability that makes the difference. And today, Hana certainly belongs among the best twenty models in the world. Its main advantage is that she is the youngest. Sometimes people would say she could be the new Karolina, but this

comparison is far from appropriate. Karolina Kůrková, a self-confident extrovert, is friendly with the stars of international show business. While Karolina gave her c*ck-tail party in New York this summer, which was attended by P. Diddy and co., Hana swam with her sister in a smáli sand pond near Carlsbad. The comparison, however, holds true for the career Hana could achieve overseas. This year she worked with the best photographers like Mario Testino, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Thomas Schenk, Solve Sundsbo, Patrick Demarchelier oř Dusán Reljin, whose photo-editori-al you can see in this very issue of Hype. Slowly she has started accumulating the cover pages of various fashion magazines in her portfolio and everybody waits for the first big campaign commission from a major client. But com-pared to other models, Hana has plenty of time. She can travel round the world, work, enjoy herself, experience new things oř try to shoot with a camera. Photography is her biggest hobby.
We browse through her new album of photos and it is pre-cisely in this moment that the quiet introvert Hana shows what lies deeply in her. Apart from her beauty and strength will she certainly has some talent. It is very sympathetic that from the whole rough world of modelling she is fasci-nated by the creative šidě: good photographers and design-ers. We go from page to page and Hana comments: "This is South France - this was in fact a city full of naked people. For instance, we went in the car and saw a woman that rode a bike absolutely naked ... oř v/e saw a completely nudě man entering the drugstore. We did our photos and those naked people just watched," she laughs. Oř she telíš how she did some photos in winter, dressed only in evening robe and how she was frozen, how she always watches the clothes of other girls before the show, that she thinks that most the male models are effeminate. Her albums are kind of diaries. "When I am older and not a model anymore, I will háve something to show to my children. I myself like to browse through the pictures of my mum, how she looked, what she did." It is very nice how seventeen years old Hana, with all her career just before her, thinks about what to show her children in the future.
"Sometimes I think that when I am finished with modelling, I could be a photographer. I love black and white pictures for clearly there is something in them. I think they are much about feelings..." she says when we pass through a large photo exhibition in Municipal library. In the Czech street she yet does not create much commotion. What will happen, though, when the tabloid press starts watching her, when she becomes a celebrity without any privacy? Strange though it may seem this is the most likely way for Hana to follow. This does not necessarily mean that she herself has to change but certainly a lot of things in her life will. Thus only oné question remains unanswered. What kind of personality she will grow into? And I ask her what she would write under her picture on the Hype cover page, how she would like people to perceive her. She thinks for a while and then says: "Hana, the new photographer?"

Your scanner seems to be a fairly decent one. Try putting a peice of black paper behind the pages when you scan - will help prevent the other side of the page from showing through.

Good scanning is only 1/3rd the actual scan equipment. The rest is all Photoshop. so trust me, you're scanner is doing a damn fine job.

Wow! Thank you for info! Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop, just some old Corel Photopaint, and scanner is a Christmas present, so I am still learning ;) Thanks! :flower:
