Bianca Balti (born in 1984 in Lodi, near Milan, Italy) is an Italian supermodel. She appeared in the 2005 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and in the catologues and is rumored to become the new VS angel, while Gisele Bundchen will be retiring in 2007.
At the beginning of her career she was rejected by numerous agencies (for example 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 top-class campaigns were for Roberto Cavalli, Donna Karan, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Guess and Anna Molinari.
She also is highly in demand for the runway. Since the Spring/Summer fashion shows 2005 she has appeared in every season's shows for designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Miuccia Prada and Donatella Versace among other prominent designers.
