A memorable highlight [of her career] was her recent participation in the 80th Venice Film Festival... My journey in modeling began after I was scouted at a local fashion show. I had always been interested in fashion and modeling seemed like the perfect way to express myself. After that I went to the agency in Milan where it all started I was immediately booked for my first shooting for Guess.... during the COVID-19 pandemic, I actively leveraged the situation to engage with my audience on Instagram. With people spending more time at home and seeking connection and entertainment online, I saw a significant boost in my Instagram following. I was able to grow by approximately 450k followers during that time... What advice do you have for someone looking to grow their Instagram following? ... Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments, engage with your followers’ content, and build a sense of community. Genuine interactions can boost your visibility. [yes, very important, don't ban people for asking innocuous questions] ...When I was in the Czech Republic, I was studying to become a doctor. But deep down, I always had a dream of being a model. It all started when I did a little fashion show for a local Czech brand. That’s when I realized my true passion was in the fashion world. So, my modeling career began, and it’s amazing how dreams can come true when you follow your heart. Two places that have meant a lot to me are the Maldives and Namibia. The Maldives is like a dream with its clear blue waters and colorful fish. It made me feel how important it is to take care of our oceans and the beauty they hold. Namibia’s deserts and big sand dunes were like a different planet. The sunrises there were like magic. Being in those wide, open spaces made me appreciate how amazing nature is, and how important it is to protect it. Both of these places remind me of the beauty and wonder of our world. You mentioned that one of your goals is to model in the US. Are there specific American brands or designers you admire and hope to collaborate with? Yes, I have some American brands and designers I admire like Sherill Hill, Calvin Klein, Retrofete, and as I love shooting lingerie and bikini, Honey Birdette, Beach Bunny Swimwear, but I’m open to working with anyone. Whether it’s well-known names or not, I’m excited to bring my style to the American fashion scene and collaborate with those who like what I do. As a travel blogger exploring luxury resorts worldwide, I aim to inspire people with dreamy vacation destinations. I engage with my followers by responding to comments and messages and creating interactive content like polls and Q&A sessions. This genuine connection and content alignment have contributed to the growth of my Instagram following. Could you share some of the challenges you’ve faced in your career and how you’ve overcome them? Competition. The fashion and modeling industry is highly competitive. To stand out, I’ve focused on developing my unique style and brand. Building a strong online presence through social media has also helped me differentiate myself and attract opportunities... In the future, I plan to diversify my modeling work, expand internationally, and continue personal growth." 2nd from Authority magazine on Medium (Sep 2023): https://medium.com/authority-magazine/model-aneta-mlcakova-shares-her-top-self-care-wellness-and-beauty-tips-3c0bce46638e Personal note: I assume she is married https://www.instagram.com/aneta.amari/ was the account I initially found, but it resembles a Model Agency Portfolio image selection. Her active and much more interesting account, with 1,403 posts and 1.2 million followers, is https://www.instagram.com/anetmlcak0va/ I lept to the wrong conclusion because I didn't do enough research.
