Anita De Bauch (born January 15, 1986) is an English model from London, England.
De Bauch started modeling in 2004 for her hair extensions business[1] (which closed in 2008[2]) but did not model for other clients until 2007, when she graduated from Lancaster University with an upper second Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.
De Bauch began modeling for British photographers in 2006 and for bespoke corset company Heavenly Corsets in 2007, appearing in full page advertisements for the company in the December 2007 and January 2008 issues of Scarlet.[3]
Since 2007 she has modeled internationally for various latex clothing and other clothing and lingerie designers and appeared at such fashion shows as the Skin Two Rubber Ball[4] and opening the show at London Alternative Fashion Week 2010,[5] an event that annually raises money for various charitable organizations.[6] Bizarre described her as "bewitching, imaginative, zany, avant-garde, retro, radical and elegant" and a "sizzling siren" in an interview given in 2008 under the pseudonym Chic Freak,[7] and more recently as a "sex bomb".[8]
De Bauch has appeared on several covers including the international mail order catalog for global photographic brand Quantum,[9] Which Digital Camera (magazine),[10] on several pages of fetish fashion photographer Emma Delves-Broughton's coffee table book Kinky Nature, in clothing catalogs,[11][12] music videos,[13] album covers,[14] various nightclub advertisements[15][16] and calendars.[17][18] She is as well known for her art nude as her fashion work [19] and is also one of the most popular alternative models of all time, according to Bizarre.[20] In August 2011, Skin Two reported De Bauch to be "one of the world’s top fetish models".[21]
The book Anita De Bauch by photographer Sean McCormack, which consisted of 21 pages of colour fashion and nude photographs of De Bauch taken by McCormack, was published in February 2011 by Lulu (company).
De Bauch has been in a relationship with Liam O'Rly since January 2004 and lives with him in London.[22] She has two Sphynx cats, named Dexter and Lilith.[23]
