Adi

Growing up in Tel Aviv, Israel, and moving to New York City at the age of 16, Adi has evolved past her self-described “geeky” roots and into supermodel territory. Her success story happened almost instantly. Signed by Next Model Management at a competition she entered with friends when she was 16, Adi moved to the city where she finished high school while walking the runway for major labels like Fendi and Prada. She was supposed to return to Israel at 18 to join the army, but won a Calvin Klein ad campaign instead. Since then, she has worked all over the world – Iceland, Morocco, Vietnam and the Maldives to name a few. Adi’s transformation has been nothing if not remarkable. “I was a kibbutz geek girl,” she told Uinterview exclusively. “I co-founded the Israeli Star Trek fan club with three others.”
