  1. I have gone through their entire online catalog, and the only ones I could attach a name to were the 2 Czechs and Klaudia Wonatowska. I looked up Guess model ID bellazon on Google but I only uncovered the name of one of the current crop, Victoria Turner. Your expertise is required :) I'll upload the entirety of their images once I have collected once I have IDs and have finished sorting (only halfway through currently). Guess have lots of wonderful models, so it is worthwhile to image harvest from their site every 6 months or so (the max res i can get is 2000 pixels tall). Lock on - Francesca Valenti. Her thread is up, so I shall delete all bar 1 image. https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/116730-francesca-valenti/ I think she is Scottish. ED: Lauren Alexander (removed all bar 1; all images in her thread now). Around 8k IG followers; she deserves to be much more popular. Bellazon thread: https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/110148-lauren-alexander/ Almost definitely Liza Makhu. I initially thought she was 3, but I'm convinced I was mistaken (her lips are wider and slightly less full, her irisies are a different colour). ED: think this is Oriola Marashi. She's an Albania with 870k follower on IG. 5. Probably a Slav. ED: A Ukrainian Slav, Dariia Zotova. 32k followers on IG ~400 posts. So reasonable active and reasonably successful in the social media world. Initially I put her in 5's directory, but I think she is another model. ED: Tatooine is Anouchka (Lou is her surname on one site, 'G' on another; I assume she is French) ID = Nina Kostić (Serbian I assume) More of a A-frame/pear shaped body compared to the other models. Still working on an ID. Possibly an Australian with Pict ancestry; there is something vaguely Catherine McNeil-ish about her. ED: Meika Woollard. Adding to my To-do list. 447k followers on Instagram. ED: Giulia Ciancio most likely ID = Kianna Louise Stephens from Cornwall. 60k Instagram followers Seyla Zanon - Threaded created, all bar 1 image removed from the ID thread https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/116739-seyla-brigitte-zanon/ There are at least 3 more UFOs (Unidentified Fashion Objects :) from Guess, but I shall create another thread later. This is a lot for my brain (which isn't that good at classifying faces) to process. Thanks you for aid you can provide. Erin Cummins or Svetlana Uchuvatova is another UnIDed I hadn't posted any images of (have to look more closely) Guess sometimes gives model names on their videos, and occasionally on social media posts. Hopefully, eventually I shall uncover all of their names.
  2. Here is a career summary I found; I hadn't checked up on "Catherine the Great" since about 2014, to see how her life was going. https://www.mamamia.com.au/cat-mcneil/ I recall a time when people were amusingly referring to her as McBeha eg forums.thefashionspot.com/threads/catherine-mcneil.328989/page-295 . The article from the Australia newspaper site doesn't seem to be available anymore though. A forgotten part of fashion history, a industry that is constantly in flux and cannot sit still.
  3. Rachel's own Youtube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@rachelmichellepizzolato . The below are 3 Youtube embeds of her content to give an example of her range: Spoiler Her SI 2025 submission: Bridal dress: Auomotive maintainence: Rachel is interesting, like Monika Kubísková (a Miss Czech republic contestant), since they both study science rather than the usual model subjects (management, marketing, commerce, economics, tourism, real estate, media, communication) - Rachel aeronautical engineering, Monika neurology/neuroscience. They are both very pretty as well, and have curvy body types that excel at swimwear and lingerie modelling. She seems to have born in New Orleans (or nearby), Louisiana, on January 19, 2004. "In 2019, she was a co-host of Mythbusters Jr. on the Science Channel. Her first TikTok is a dance video that was posted in December 2019. She has competed in several pageants, including Miss Louisiana State. She also started a YouTube channel, where she posted her first video in July 2018. A popular video from July of 2022 features her dressed as Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series. It has amassed over 6 million views." "... Rachel placed 1st Runner-Up in the 2021 Miss Louisiana Teenage USA." The IMDB link (posted earlier in this thread) has some more detailed information. There is also an article about her from 2018 (with just a small photo of her face): https://www.houmatoday.com/story/lifestyle/around-town/2018/10/03/louisiana-teen-is-junior-mythbuster/9715296007/
  4. A 4 minute video of Justyna speaking in English about her work for "the Guess Family" in 2024 (HD res, h.264 encoded, contained changed from mkv to mp4): Justyna Zednikova #GUESSFamily Model Interview 2024.mp4
  5. 4 images from Krystyna's Christmas holiday trip to St. Barts, 6 months ago (1 in HQ, other are MQ social media quality):
  6. More images from Natalie's brand ByNK (there are also some cosmetics she is retailing). The t-shirt slogans are in English; I expected Czech - always all of the replies left on the social media of these Czech models and influencers are in Czech: I think all of the 8 shortish videos below are to promote ByNK: Spoiler NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20230530_023654-491504046.mp4 NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20230727_204304-3519573776.mp4 NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20230914_024938-1966600487.mp4 NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20230729_021505-3119512939.mp4 NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20230730_032730-713664257.mp4 NK - ByNK - by.nataliekocendova-20231014_004723-101376502.mp4 NK - ByNK - natalie_kocendova-20240408_194558-1183579372.mp4 NK - ByNK - by.nataliekocendova-20240719_010054-2978138966.mp4
  7. Miss Zednikova (as the Czech sites refer to her) for the Marciano by GUESS Campaign SS24: I think the below images are all Guess related (uncovered on Listal):
  8. Images of Andreea I found on tumblr, probably all modelling for the brand StarShiners, probably re-encoded but at least there are no watermarks: 2 more:
  9. Jolidon part 5: That's all of the Joldion images I could find. Sorry for being a little slow to complete the uploads. Edit: There were a few more, including some from social media that were a bit larger in resolution:
  10. Some "polaroids" from Stone Talent Agency:
  11. This is an experimental post, a lossless cut (at keyframe points) of a 4k Webm with VP9 encoded visual data, exported into a Mp4 container (through "Losslesss Cut" since the board's software doesn't like Webm containers), and with the music omitted (it's not an interview so audio doesn't matter). Let me know if you want more posts like this, or alternately if you strongly object to me posting these 'video quotations' (catwalk excerpts). It seems to play in my browser after a longish pause. This is just Rachel's walk at the Pink Melon show, New York Swim Week 2023: Spoiler Rachel Pizzolato for Pink Melon @NYC Swim Week 2023 4k NoAudio.mp4
  12. 2 video clips, the first of her posing in a Poner dress (18sec), the 2nd a 3m30s invterview in Czech related to Miss Supranational. When she's in a good mood (which fortunately seems to be most of the time), she is very charismatic. justyna.zednikova-20240619_050000-1660047487 June 2024 Wearing Poner.mp4 Spoiler Justyna - Miss Supranational IV post_VF240421_171450_flv_high_ande [VF240421_171450_flv_high_ande].mp4
  13. A HQ of Justýna Zedníková (2023 winner) embracing Adela the 2024 Miss Czech Republic winner at the end of the event. Both are adorable.
  14. A 2m21s trailer for the film "We're Going to Team Building" (2023). Justýna's parts commence at 56 seconds in.
  15. Higher quality images from various Czech events and shows, found on a site called Wiki Feet via a reverse image search on a LQ image: On the final picture she is photographed with Krystyna Pyszkova and Taťána Makarenko (who organizes the beauty pageants in Czechia). Krystyna is one of the tallest Czechs, Taťána is 175 cm from memory. 2 HQs from another site, including one with her Miss crown:
  16. Justy from Guess's website (she must have cut her hair short towards the end of 2024): Infills (images I missed earlier, prefixed this time with her name): The last image is actually different from the one a few lines up; her pupils are looking in a different direction and the thumb has slightly changed position (the photos were probably taken 1 second apart). The video below is apparently from a test shoot of Justýna for Guess (a social media find so quality is ordinary) : Miss Supranational Czech Republic Justyna Zednikova @justyna.zednikova First test shoot with @guess Swimwear.mp4
  17. The Czech sites classify Justýna Zedníková as a model, and I believe she has done just enough modelling work to qualify for the female Fashion models section. She is a hybrid model/pageant winner/influencer/Czech celebrity, a bit like her friend Natálie Kočendová. Date of birth: 5/8/2002 (Prague) Measurements: 90/63/93 cm Height: 179 cm Miss Czech Republic 2023 + Miss Popularity 2023 Miss Supranational 2024 (3rd place?) Modeled for Guess in 2024 Agency: uncertain (one site says her agent is Johana Urbanová, but I am unsure if that information is up to date) "The winner of Miss Czech Republic 2023, Justýna Zedníková (22), succeeded in the international beauty contest Miss Supranational , which was held in Poland. The beauty finished in sensational third place among 67 girls from all over the world. The winner was Indonesian Harashta Haifa Zahra, while second place goes to the USA to Jenna Dykstra. Zedníková was originally supposed to represent the Czech Republic at Miss World , but due to the Covid break, the previous year's winner Krystyna Pyszková (26) went to the competition , and she eventually won Miss World." She seems to be currently on a Czech TV show called Inkognito. She's had a few minor film and TV roles (not a Love Islander), like 'We're Going to Team Building' (2023) and 'The Sweet Life' (2024): https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm15811648/ From a 2024 interview: "I had to cancel a few projects because of the world competition, so I hope it won't affect me in any way in the future. I also stopped my studies [in Economics] so that I could devote myself to it full-time, and I plan to go back. Not to a university of economics, but to become a teacher" Miss Czech Republic 2023 related (I could only find the leftmost in HQ): Miss Supranational 2024 (from 3rd party social media): and a 2 minute presentation, with her speaking in English (Youtube embed): From the 2023 film We're Going to Team Building (Jedeme na teambuilding) {I'm going to have to watch this film} [updated with 2 higher res images]: On Inkognito (1 photo, 3 video caps - not mine):
  18. From Guess's website, found while scouting for images for fellow Czech Justyna Zednikova (I discovered lots of other fantastic models as well {though I don't yet know most of their names}, however the Guess site seems to have a fairly rapid turnaround of products, so probably many images of Krystyna and Justyna et al modelling for Guess are gone forever).
  19. I was playing internet archaeologist today, unearthing images and information from earlier Czech pageants, and the earlier work of certain of their models and celebrities. These are Adela from 2021: In a red gown designed by Beata Rajská, inspired by the type of garnets found in the Czech Central Mountains (sorry, I once went through a crazy about minerals phase) Google translated into English; abridged: "Adéla Štroffeková, a finalist of the Czech Miss Essens, scored at the world beauty contest Miss Earth. Adéla became the winner of the talent competition and won the title of Miss Earth Talent... Miss Earth was held online for the second time due to the Covid situation. "It was a shame, because world competitions are interesting and great because you gain a lot of experience there, it's a great experience, you get to know girls from all over the world. On the other hand, it was more or less a win for me. I entered a university where they don't tolerate any absence. Therefore, I couldn't fly there at all. So for me, it turned out as best as it could"... Adéla did not expect success. And above all, the jury would be thrilled by her piano playing. "I did not expect success at all. We had a low budget for filming the videos that were sent. I did not really believe it. In the end, it turned out well. They announced the talent competition first, which I won. That was a big surprise," the model smiles..." "Even though everything will take place online, there is a lot of preparation. We have to regularly send interviews and videos to the competition management. We film something practically every day," added Štroffeková, who studies at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports at [redacted] University." Excerpt from another article from the same time period: "There will be no beauty pageant winner or runner-up. The Czech Republic will be represented at the finals of the prestigious Miss Earth beauty pageant by a girl you've probably never heard of. Model and elementary school teacher Adéla Štroffeková will compete for the crown of beauty queen. "I am happy and grateful to be Miss Earth 2021. It is a dream come true. I promise to represent our beautiful country as best I can"... She has a beautiful face, a perfect body [strongly agree] and is strikingly reminiscent of Karolína Mališová (28) . Adéla Štroffeková was a finalist in the Czech Miss Essens. Mainly due to the coronavirus crisis, when no one knows whether new measures will be introduced, the competition management decided to cancel this year's edition. "We chose Adéla based on her thorough preparation throughout the entire year of the competition. She was a hot favorite from the beginning, both for the public and for the Czech Miss ESSENS team. She is very well-equipped with languages and generally fits well into the Miss Earth concept. Adéla is a primary school teacher and has just started at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports at [redacted] University, she plays the piano and is interested in environmental issues. We believe that our choice was right and that the jury will be impressed"... Czech beauties have scored points at the Miss Earth world competition in the past. In 2012, Tereza Fajksová (36) finished third became the winner, and the year before last, Klára Vavrušková (25) ." I hadn't heard of Karolína Mališová before today, and I don't think she has a thread on Bellazon. "Karolína Mališová [now 29] won the title of Czech Miss Beauty pageant in 2015." I like her as well, but I currently only have a few images of her, far too few to justify creating a thread. ED: Wow, Karolína Mališová has 5,089 posts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karolinamalisova/
  20. Simona Procházková being interviewed during/after a swimwear photo-shoot for Miss Czech republic 2025 (Sára Aubrechtová is in the background): SimonaP - MissCR 25 IV (Bl)-00.01.51.433-00.03.20.567.mp4 Next up is Sára Aubrechtová being interviewed: SaraA - MissCR25 Swim (LLessSplit)-00.00.00.000-00.01.36.767.mp4
  21. Here is Karolina being interviewed while swimsuit clad, during the Miss Czech Republic preliminaries (or whatever the word is for the activities preceding the final televised competition): KGorylova - MissCR 25 IV (Bl)-00.00.00.000-00.01.51.433.mp4 I used a program called "Lossless Cut" to excise Karolina's segment; Simona Prochazkova was speaking in the end 40% of the video.
  22. Here is Karolina having a nervous breakdown... No, it's just an advertisement for a Czech psychological help cell phone app. Karolina normally looks very confident, so this video of her acting another role interest me. I'll spoiler it since it isn't glamorous like everything else I have posted of her so far. Spoiler karolina_gorylova-20250527_042528-1971955370 mediapp Breakdown.mp4
