HAVI on my MOND

DISCOVERED: Havi was spotted, aged 16, by Sarah Leon, a booker for the model agency Select. But there was no question of her starting a career immediately, even though her walls were plastered with pictures of Cindy Crawford, her role model. She had had modeling offers in Israel and turned them down - "there, the industry has the image of using the girls", she says. "I wanted to be a criminologist (but) my mom was always telling me that I should be a model," she recalls. "I did the first job just...to try something. And then I (felt) like it's the thing that I really wanted to do," she says.

Agency: Select.

RÉSUMÉ: French Connection, Calvin Klien, Ralph Lauren, The Times (on the cover and in an article), Cosmopolitan, In Style, Harvey Nichols Magazine and Marie Claire. Hava has also been on the catwalk for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and London Fashion Week and she has appeared in the advertising campaigns of Laura Ashley, French Connection and Gina Bakoni. As well, she is leading the 2004/5 winter campaign of Armani Jeans and the current, worldwide campaign for Pantene hair products.
