Kartika Luyet (born 5 March 1977), also known simply as Kartika, is a Brazilian-born Italian model and television personality.
Born in Rio de Janeiro from a Swiss father and an Indonesian mother, Luyet lived most of her childhood in Savièse, a municipality of the canton of Valais, Switzerland.[1]
She became first known in Italy thanks to two Fiat commercials, broadcast in 2000 and 2001.[2][3] In 2001 she debuted on television alongside Fiorello in the RAI variety television Stasera pago io.[2]
In 2004, she was spokesmodel of the lingerie company Miss Bikini, starring in an advertising campaign that raised some controversy because of being considered vulgar and offensive.[4] In 2008, she starred in the music video for the song "Una cosa sola" of the rock group Magenta.[5] In 2012 she created her own line of nail polish.[6][7]
