Shlomit Malka (Hebrew: שלומית מלכה; sometimes called Shiloh Malka; born December 23, 1993) is an Israeli fashion model from Tel Aviv.

One of the world's leading models, she has appeared in major international campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Schwarzkopf, Bebe, and Müller Yogurt.[2]

In 2015, she became the face of Italian lingerie company Intimissimi, heading its international advertising campaigns, succeeding the likes of Irina Shayk, Barbara Palvin, Bar Refaeli and Ana Beatriz Barros.

Life and career

Malka was born in Tel Aviv, to a family of Moroccan Jews and Russian Jews.[3] Her father was a lawyer and her mother worked in PR.[4] As a child, she dreamed of becoming a soldier and a veterinarian.[4]

During her first year of her mandatory military service in the combat engineering unit Yahalom, Malka was discovered by a model agent from her Facebook pictures.[5] She managed to win permission to work from the IDF,[6] and promptly won contracts with Ralph Lauren, L'Oreal and Schwarzkopf.[5]

During her military service, the IDF permitted her to take part in modeling shoots after pre-approving her requests so long as she made up the time afterwards.[7] She says that the "balance between the military and modelling makes me feel good. I am grounded all the time".[8] Her personal interests are physics, mathematics, and animal welfare.[5][8]

In 2015, she became the face of Italian lingerie company Intimissimi, leading its worldwide campaign, a position previously filled by Irina Shayk, Barbara Palvin, Bar Refaeli and Ana Beatriz Barros.[9] Intimissimi was drawn to her natural beauty.[6]

In addition she won contracts for Maybelline New York, and appeared on the covers of magazines such as Vogue Italy, Glamour and Elle.
