A brief history of Petra
By Petra
I was born in Karvina, a small mining town in the north of Czech Republic on the 24th June 1979.
Czech Republic was still a communist country the, so we didn't have much, but I had have two amazing parents that gave me everything they could. (Soon after my little sister Olga was born.)
I spent much of my younger years with my little sister Olga.
Even though there was little western influences, i was always interested in fashion. I used to make dresses, and sow outfits for me and my friends. I was always too shy to try modeling, but then one day my best friend entered me in a 'Talent Search' for a Czech model Agency.
My 1st modeling shoot with the local passport photographer! One of the outfits I designed (it was the height of fashion in Czech Republic then!!!)
