Bianca Balti

Bianca Balti (born March 19, 1984) is an Italian model. She was born in Lodi, in the Lombardy region of Italy. At the beginning of her career she was rejected by numerous agencies, such as Elite Model Management, for being "too average and common" looking. In spite of that she did not abandon her dream of becoming a model and was discovered about a year ago in a supermarket where she was jobbing to finance her studies by Bruno Paulette, a scout of Modelschule. Promptly she was booked for the cover of L'Officiel which was shot by Alexi Lubomirski. Her following high fashion campaigns were for Roberto Cavalli, Donna Karan, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Guess? and Anna Molinari. She also appeared in the 2005 Victoria's Secret fashion show and in their catalogs.

She also is highly in demand for the runway. Since the spring/summer 2005 fashion shows, she has appeared in every season's shows for designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Miuccia Prada and Versace among other prominent designers.

Bianca was also cast in Abel Ferrara's Go Go Tales as one of the lead erotic dancers.
