Early and personal life

Palvin was born in Budapest.[3] At an early age, Palvin took up football and singing, considering them her favorite hobbies.[4]

Modeling career

Palvin was discovered on the streets of Budapest in 2006 at the age of 13. She shot her first editorial that year for Spur Magazine. Palvin subsequently moved to Asia where she continued a steady stream of bookings.[5] Since then, Palvin has been on the cover of L'Officiel, Vogue Russia, Glamour Hungary and Jalouse Magazine, and has modeled for Armani Exchange, H&M, Victoria's Secret, and Pull and Bear.[6] In February 2012, she became an ambassador for L'Oréal Paris.[7]

Her runway debut was as an exclusive for Prada during Milan Fashion Week in February 2010.
