Is this Koko/Komal, or another model?: https://www.guess.eu/en-fr/guess/women/clothing/beachwear/4g-logo-string-bikini-bottoms-white/E5GO11MC040-G011.html I found lots of unknowns on Guess's website, and this model is one of the ones I haven't attached a name to definitely.

Kianna Louise StephensThis is another interesting 'hybrid' that I have discovered, a model/dancer/influencer/pageant queen/'GuessGirl'. DOB: 28th May, 1999 in the UK (Cornwall) Height: 5' 8" Bust: 35" (D cup) Waist: 25" Hip: 37" Dress: 8 UK Eyes: Hazel Competitions: Won Miss Swimsuit UK in 2019 2nd place (1st runner up) Miss Supertalent 2022, Season 14 (only Wikipedia seemed to have this information) Won Miss Swimsuit USA International 2022 Agencies found so far: Mass Talent - https://www.mass-talent.com/divisions/dancers/portfolios/kianna-louise/portfolio Pink Mustard - https://www.pinkmustardagency.com/talent-2/kianna-louise-stephens Covers: Chaarmz AW 2022-23 Her recent life summary from December 2022 via Miss Swimsuit UK: "I am Kianna Stephens from Cornwall in the UK. I am 23 years old and am a professional Dancer & Model. Winning Miss Swimsuit USA International has been my biggest achievement so far and I couldn’t be happier. Other achievements have been winning Miss Swimsuit UK in 2019 and recently starting my own modelling agency and social media management business with my best friend. I have traveled the world dancing on cruise ships and performed in productions across the UK and Germany. I hope to get the opportunity to make many new connections across the globe and get to travel and experience new destinations as Miss Swimsuit USA this year." According to her IG, see has worked for several other clothing labels besides Guess (in the Stories section of her profile, which I haven't investigated yet). Her Pink Mustard portfolio (only MQs): Mass Talent portfolio (various resolutions):

She is currently with Independent and Visage. Current stats/measurements: height 180 - 5' 11" bust 90 - 35" waist 60 - 23" hips 90 - 35" shoes 39 - 8.5 hair dark brown hair length long eyes green-grey Youtube embeds: A Day in the life of a GUESS Girl ft Liza Makhu (speaking in English) Liza Makhu #GUESSFamily Model Interview (3min, speakaing in English). Her ethnicity is Ukrainian/Syrian (an unusual combination) and she mentions just being a retail assistant in a Guess store before modelling. Fortunately people realized she had much more potential than that. Not mentioned in the video, but on Famous Birthdays, is 'Her mother, father, brother, and aunt are all doctors.' Another Guess model, Nina Kostić, is actually a med student. A third interview, not aligned with Guess - Exclusive Interview: GUESS Model Liza Makhu Reveals All: Through the #GUESSGirl Lens: Meet Liza Makhu The below is a compilation of older clips. Just mute/don't listen to the audio; she in not South African.

"I cannot understand why her forum is not updated more regularly. She is one of the most beautiful woman in the world!" Agree. Here are studio images of Liza for Guess 2024/2025, Part 1: I like the last outfit and the 3rd from last the most, Faux suede straight pant and Embroidered long skirt on Guess's site. Liza didn't get any swimsuits or lingerie to model.

A small number of addition Guess images :

3 more Guess looks modeled by lovely Lauren:

I promised some swimwear videos; here is the first (sorry for being so slow to follow through). It's from Vaida's shows 2024 at Miami (easy to miss because the video didn't have her name). Awesome models deserve HQ photo images and 4k videos: Olia Art - VAIDA Swimwear Miami Swim Week 2024 4k WebmContainerToMp4 DelAudio.mp4 It was ripped as a Vp9 encoded video stream inside a Webm container; in Lossless Cut I removed the audio track (just in case) and stuck the footage inside a Mp4 container. I will probably retain this procedure in future except for interviews, unless someone has a better suggestion (I not that comfortable working with videos at present; I prefer working with images followed by 2 channel audio.) It's 53 seconds long, 81 MB in size. Somehow people are able to slow down/extend video footage now using software in a very natural way; turning down the playback speed in a local video player like VLC gives much worse results.

A Youtube embed of a Portuguese photoshoot of Kylie (late June, 2024) that commences around nautical sunrise. Easy to miss since her name isn't in the title. The best quality is a 4k file that is 721 MB in size, so too large to expect Bellazon to host it. I guess I am trying to put forward the case that she might have done sufficient modelling work to justify being moved to the Fashion Models section. I'm not sure if photos from this shoot are available online.

Guess interview as a Youtube embed (I always try to post at least one 'talkie' video for all of the models I dedicate a thread to or are currently posting a lot of in a pre-existing thread):

48 more of Lauren, for Guess (either new or images I missed the first time perusing their site):

I found a playlist someone had compiled of almost all of the videos (mostly fashion shows) she is in on Youtube; some are links to compilations, others to full shows. She might have done enough catwalk work by now to be moved to fashion models section:

Here is a Youtube embed of a video she made, HD resolution:

She seems to be with TXM Models: https://www.txmmodels.com/kylie-gesualdo-portfolio These are from her portfolio, desperately needed since her thread only has 3 working Youtube embeds: I had trouble finding her Instagram account, she uses kylie_the_bunny_ and there is no mention of her surname. Found a HQ closeup, not from social media:

First selection of images from her lovely site. These are just photos with Anet in this, more closer up: 7 were in Png format; I transcoded to Jpeg 95 using the newer JepgLi algorithm, which dramatically reduced the file size with barely any observable damage at 100% zoom. The best 4 zoomed out images:

3 videos with Anet in them, from her site: https://www.anetmlcakovaa.com/ Her site has a lot more travel photographs - landscape, resorts and local wildlife. Far superior to the social media quality most people are accustomed to (max 2048 pixels on a site). Spoiler AnetM (own site) - My Unforgettable Journey to Hurawalhi Maldives_file.mp4 AnetM (own site) - 3 House Villas_file.mp4 AnetM (own site) - Aneta @ Madifushi A New Maldivian Resort_file.mp4

A selection from the German EastWest agency https://www.eastwestmodels.de/content-creator/women/3977-aneta-mlcakova/

Images from Metro Models and from Real Woman agency. I've culled them, so hopefully the images should be either unique (not posted here yet), trumping dupes (larger dimensions and quality) or smallish but with no obvious compression damage. Files have some information prefixed onto their name. Test photos: Harpers Bazaar Vietnam, April 2024 (cover is just MQ, but the other 3 are HQ)

DOB: August 14, 1997 in Ostrava (population ~ 283k) Here are 2 links to articles about Anet/Aneta : From 2023 - https://www.naludamagazine.com/interview-with-gorgeous-model-and-influencer-anet-mlcakova/ Excerpts: "Anet Mlcakova, hailing originally from the enchanting city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, currently calls Lugano, Switzerland home... 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. Also, she has her own web site: https://www.anetmlcakovaa.com/about-me "Hey there! I'm Aneta Mlcakova, a globetrotting model and influencer who's all about that luxury life. Originally from the Czech Republic, I traded it for the scenic vibes of Switzerland, thanks to my awesome boyfriend. We're not just any couple – we're on a world tour, capturing amazing moments with his love for photos and videos. Equipped with top-notch gear, we're not just traveling; we're crafting stories about the cool places we stay. Come along for the ride, where every adventure is like a picture-perfect postcard from a dreamy resort or hotel."

Here's the other bikini clad video from her section on Metro Models (I wish they had slightly adjusted the starting frame though): AnetaM - Metro vid swim - 1716878817-c95dde1364f7ada0ca600ddad37fe5b5.mp4 And here are the accompanying 4k photos (definitely too high a quality to be 'video captures'; thumbs up to whoever took and processed the photographs):
