The intriguing GUESS? advertising campaigns have launched
many top models' careers. Starring in the 1996 "Glam-rock"
GUESS? campaign, Lonneke Engel, a stunning and sexy,
5'8" blue-eyed brunette found herself on the trail
to supermodel stardom. Her discovery by Paul Marciano,

Lonneke's much-talked-about campaign with GUESS? was
photographed in New York City by reknown fashion photographer,
Ellen von Unwerth. These captivating images were remembered

speaks five different languages. For now, Lonneke wants
to continue modeling and going to school, but dreams
of becoming a pilot some day.
