The Models Who Ruled the Fashion World in the '80s

Winner of the Elite Model Look of the Year award in 1985, Dutch model Van der Wal became an instant superstar, scoring campaigns for Revlon, Guess, MCI, and Victoria’s Secret. She was best known as a regular in the mail-order lingerie catalogue, alongside peers like Jill Goodacre and Stephanie Seymour.

Today, she is mom to a teenage daughter and the brains behind Frederique’s Choice, an ecommerce brand offering handcrafted, locally sourced floral bouquets and arrangements in Europe and the U.S.
