Adina Fohlin (born December 20, 1984) is a Swedish model. She was discovered walking down the street in Stockholm when an agent approached her after having noticed her unusual features. Emmanuelle Ault, the fashion director of French Vogue, likened Fohlin's presence as a fashion model to a student on the runway for the first time. Myriam Obadiah, creative director of Fohlin's agency, Next, described her as a girl who does not resemble a typical model.^[1]

Fohlin appeared on the cover of Japanese and Italian Vogue, Flair, French Revue de Modes, Swedish ELLE and The Face magazine. First surfacing on international catwalks during the spring 2001 prêt-à-porter season, Fohlin has proved a prolific runway model, appearing in hundreds of shows for fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, YSL Rive Gauche and Prada.

In addition to a substantial editorial career, Fohlin has appeared in advertisement campaigns for David Yurman, YSL Rive Gauche, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, EXTÈ, Rocco Barocco, and Tommy Hilfiger.

She most recently appeared on the Cover of Italian Vogue for the June 2007 issue.
