Adia Coulibaly has a look you won’t soon forget.
Appearing in GUESS’ memorable Spring ’98 ad campaign shot by Dah Len in sunny Florida,
Adia is getting noticed. She is seen in these colorful ads along side of a group of other
young models, including Laetitia Casta. Not only was Adia chosen by Iman as one of the
beauties to represent her line of cosmetics, but she has graced the pages of American
Vogue, The Face and Allure Magazines. At just 19 years old, Adia seems to have it all: a
gorgeous face, a great attitude, a loving family and a driving ambition. |
| Adia was born and raised in Paris and still lives with her parents in the
northern suburbs
of Paris. She attended the Jean-Jaures School and admits she likes living there amid its
colorful boutiques and many cafes and restaurants. With strong Muslim family values, she
doesn’t give in to the peer pressure to drink or smoke. With her parent’s support and
guidance, she always thought that she would one day become a lawyer, an accountant or
even a doctor.

Adia’s career in modeling began purely by
chance. While still attending school, she was discovered while working part-time at a
McDonald’s in Paris when a photographer spotted her. He did some test shoots with her
without saying a word to her family. Her father got suspicious when her school contacted
him because Adia was missing so many classes. Reluctantly, her parents gave in and let her
pursue modeling. She soon moved to New York and that’s when she began her journey to
model-stardom. Adia remains grounded to her roots by going on family vacations with her
parents, two sisters and one brother to Africa. |
