In the late 80s, long before Shiraz Tal served as the face of Helena Rubinstein and Maayan Keret closed the shows of Yves Saint Laurent, Bercu took her place as a supermodel alongside Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista and in 1990 was even crowned one of the top ten models in the world. By the French magazine Madame Figaro.

In fact, to this day, Barko is considered the most successful Israeli model overseas, and when she was 18, a total of five years after she was first photographed, she had already starred on the cover of the November 1988 issue of American Vogue magazine, which was the first cover edited by the legendary Anna Wintour. Berko's cover photo, conducted by photographer Peter Lindberg, resonated and is considered a sensation in the fashion world in Israel and around the world
