Maja Latinović

Maja Latinovic (born June 25, 1980 near Kikinda, Serbia[1]) is a Serbian supermodel.

Described as humble beginnings with a gas station owner father, and a caring mother and three sisters, Maja's stature and affinity for sports drew her to basketball. Maja’s modeling career began somewhat accidentally at 16 years old with her sister entering her into a local modeling contest. And much to her surprise, she placed 2nd runner-up. A keen-eyed model scout soon asked her to fly to Milan and start her modeling career, and her days of shooting hoops were soon replaced with photo shoots.

At the age of nineteen, Maja began working with the prestigious Women Management agency in New York and found success with top photographers in the world. Mario Testino hand-picked Maja as the face of the Roberto Cavalli campaign and after working with her the first time, continued to shoot her for Italian Vogue.
