Jasmina Hdagha was born to the blue Croatian coast where she spent her first three years until moving with her family to the wilds of North Africa, where the Sahara warmly kissed her and the sea, it was here that her and her three sisters played with scorpions and soccer balls in 55C(131°F temperatures until the age of 16 when her family returned to Croatia and she was discovered after school walking on the street by a woman that asked if she had ever modelled, her answer barely mattered- she was all over international billboards for Pozella stockings by months end. The barrage of attention and interviews that accompanied Hermes, Calvin Klein, Missoni and Hillfiger, Diesel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Mathew Williams, Issey Miyake campaigns & GQ, Cosmo, ELLE and Marie Claire covers was a whirlwind that brought her from her studies of math and physics at the gymnasium lucijana vranjanina to the fashion capitals in Milano, Manhattan and London and shoot locations in Malaysia & Indonesia or the television production in Cairo that had her climbing the pyramids only to be escorted down at gunpoint-Jasmina quelling the authorities personally in perfect Arabic-and Paris where she began her studies in acting arts. The warm foundation that Paris offered amongst it’s young art community is where Jasmina found herself truly learning not just about the craft she practiced but the life that would feed the craft.
After working around the world inside an elite ring that included Karl Lagerfeld, Ellen Von Unwerth and David LaChapelle, giving her emotion to the fraction of the second becoming the face off global brands and commercial clients like Campari, Redken ,Samsonite and Phillips- Jasmina came to Los Angeles to study the elongation of the moment and it’s expression. Beginning with Larry moss, then Christin Anderson Groh and Jeramiah Comey her talents became honed as she continues shining in both commercial and feature length projects, furthering her interpretive arsenal.
