Introducing Daniela Pestova - Profile and Photos
Profile: Daniela Pestova
Daniela was born on October 14, 1970, in Teplice, Czechoslovakia. Daniela is a stunning international supermodel. She grew up in the presence of the Iron Curtain where there wasn't a lot of hope of having a decent life. Daniela had the dream of attending a college, and at the age of nineteen, she was 'discovered' by Dominique Caffin of the Madison modeling agency while in Prague. He convinced Daniela to enter a local modeling competition, and ended up winning. Caffin then took her to Paris to sign with the Madison agency. Daniela was picked out by Paul Marciano, president and creative director of "Guess" to model in some of the most memorable advertisements in the company's history. Ellen Von Unwerth took the photos of Daniela, alongside Claudia Schiffer in Morocco. Daniela, who is fluent in Italian, Russian, French and Czech, but only spoke small amounts of English, moved to New York. Daniela soon appeared on the covers of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, Glamour and Marie Claire. She landed a major contract with the cosmetics company L'Oreal, and become their spokesperson and print model. Daniela also entered into a contract to appear in the famous Victoria's Secret catalogue. Daniela has made many huge accomplishments, and two of the most important, she says, were marrying her husband, Tomasso Buti, and giving birth to their son, Yannick Fausto. Daniela feels the most professional achievement that she is proud of, is her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 1995. Daniela says that after her modeling career, she plans to settle into family life and have more children, or become a translator. She currently lives in the Hamptons and has a house in Miami also.
