Czech Top-Model: Hana Soukupová


Hana Soukupová (born December 18, 1985) is a Czech supermodel, born in Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad), Czechoslovakia (now in the Czech Republic). Because of her height, she began playing basketball for a local team. She also began to work as a model in Prague when she was just 13.

In September 2004, Soukupová was selected as one of only nine models to appear on the cover of American Vogue in an issue that compared supermodels today to supermodels of the 80s and 90s heyday, and she has been featured on the cover of numerous international editions of Vogue and on the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Spur, and W.

Soukupová has modeled for Gucci, BVLGARI, Escada, Balenciaga, Max Mara, Tse, Dior, Jill Stuart, Carolina Herrera, H&M and Versace. She has been the face of Gucci Envy, Escada, Dior, Versace, St. John, Carolina Herrera and GAP.

She walked in the 2006 and 2007 Victoria's Secret fashion shows and has modeled for the company's catalogs. Soukupová's other runway credits include opening and closing shows for designers such as Chanel, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Ralph Lauren,Balenciaga, Valentino, Fendi, Chloé, Gucci, and Zac Posen.

And sorry, guys... she's already married to Drew Aaron, a resident New Yorker and the President & CEO of The Aaron Group-they reside in Manhattan, of course.
