拉蒂夏.卡斯特：最受歡迎模特之路

Laetitia Maria Laure Casta was born on May 11, 1978 in Port-Audemer in Normandy, France.Her childhood was spent in Normandy’s countryside—playing in the rivers and the woods with her older brother.

拉蒂夏·卡斯特于1978年5月11日生于法國諾曼底的PortAudemer。她的童年生活是在諾曼底的鄉下度過的——跟她哥哥在河流、森林中嬉戲。

Back then, she was such a tomboy that she was often mistaken for a little boy.

那時候她頑皮得不像個女孩子，所以經常有人將她誤認成男孩。

When she was fifteen, Laetitia was discovered while vacationing with her family on a beach in Corsica.

拉蒂夏是在15歲那年被星探發現的，當時她和家人在科西嘉的海灘度假。

She was making sand castles with her little sister when a photographer for Madison Models approached her.He handed her father a business card and an invitation to bring his daughter to Paris for some test shots.

她和妹妹正在堆沙子城堡的時候，一個為麥迪森模特公司工作的攝影師走近了她。他將名片遞給拉蒂夏的父親，并邀請他帶拉蒂夏去巴黎試鏡。盡管開始拉蒂夏的父母有些半信半疑，但是后來還是架不住拉蒂夏的苦苦哀求，接受了攝影師的邀請。

Suspicious at first, her parents eventually caved to Laetitia’s pleas. Within weeks of her first shoot,she was walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier.Having never worn make-up, she screamed when she caught her reflection in the mirror.But anyway, by the time she was sixteen, she had landed three magazine covers.

在她初次露面的前幾周里，她在T型臺上為Jean paul Gaultier這個牌子展示服裝。因為她以前從來沒有化過妝，所以當她看到鏡子里的自己時，忍不住尖叫了起來。但不管怎么說，到了16歲的時候，拉蒂夏已經成了三份時裝雜志的封面女郎。

Until she turned 21, Laetitia lived at home with her parents.Now she shares an apartment in London with her older brother, Jean-Baptistie.Her favorite activities include painting, writing, going to the cinema, go-carting with her brother and dancing to disco music.Proving not to be just a pretty face, Laetitia holds a brown belt in Judo.

拉蒂夏21歲之前都和父母一起生活。現在她和哥哥Jean-Baptiste一起住在倫敦的一家公寓里。她最喜歡的活動包括畫畫、寫作、看電影、和哥哥玩微型賽車以及跟著迪斯科音樂跳舞。為了證明自己不僅只有張漂亮臉蛋，拉蒂夏還是個配有褐帶的三段柔道手。
