Frederique Van der Wal grew up in Holland and never imagined becoming one of today's hottest models. She jumpstarted her modeling career by winning the prestigious Elite Look of the Year contest. However, before diving into the world of modeling, she chose to finish school. After graduation, she moved to New York City and the rest is modeling history!

With her sophisticated style and grace, there was no doubt that she was going to make it big. Frederique appeared in the celebrated GUESS? advertising campaigns in 1986, shot by Wayne Maser. She is seen gallivanting with fellow Guess? model, Estelle Halliday, looking very at home on the ranch in Austin, Texas.

Frederique has led an incredibly full life. An undeniably successful model, she has appeared on countless magazine covers, in Victoria's Secret catalogs, fashion shows, T.V. shows, commercials and even two independent films. Not only has she has stunned the fashion world with her success but she is now an equally successful and savvy businesswoman who has her own fragrance and lingerie lines, a workout video, a calendar and her own website.

She enjoys skiing and mountain climbing and playing field hockey and tennis. A sport buff at heart, she also enjoys going to Knicks and Ranger games. In her spare time, she likes to read, go to the movies and visit art galleries. With so much success in her blood, she still has energy to conquer the world. But for now, she would like to continue her modeling, acting and business careers.
