Biography of Frederique van der Wal
Frederique van der Wal was born on August 30, 1967, in the Netherlands. Despite her phenomenal success, Frederique aimed higher. Leveraging her recognizable name and refined business intuition, she ventured into several entrepreneurial endeavors. She has always been hardworking - in her youth, she worked in a restaurant, cleaning the kitchen, and delivered newspapers.

Early Career and Modeling Success
Frederique's career began when she unexpectedly won the prestigious "Face of the Year" competition at a young age. Encouraged by an Amsterdam modeling agency, she participated in the competition and exceeded all expectations. Following this achievement, she won an international contest in Mauritius, solidifying her success. This double victory led to a contract with the renowned agency "Elite Model Management." Instead of immediately taking the fashion world by storm, Frederique decided to first complete her education. After graduating at the age of 18, she moved to New York to start her serious modeling career.

Modeling and Entrepreneurial Achievements
Frederique continued to accumulate significant achievements throughout her career, such as appearing on the cover of nine issues of "Cosmopolitan" magazine, with renowned photographer Francesco Scavullo. She also worked for publications including "Vogue," "Harper's Bazaar," "Glamour," and "Madamoiselle." Her campaigns for "Revlon" as one of the "Most Unforgettable Women in the World," photographed by Richard Avedon, and the subsequent collaboration with "Guess?" catapulted her to the top of the fashion industry. Her partnership with "Victoria's Secret" brought her widespread recognition.

Despite her phenomenal success, Frederique aimed higher. Leveraging her recognizable name and refined business intuition, she ventured into several entrepreneurial endeavors. She always had a strong work ethic, as evidenced by her previous jobs in a restaurant kitchen and newspaper delivery. Now, her business acumen came into play as she launched her own line of lingerie. With the support of "JC Penney," her brand became widely known. Additionally, her bath collection, "Frederique fragrance," is currently sold in "H2O Plus" boutiques. Frederique also releases her own calendar and operates a website on Supermodel.com.
