"When I was growing up, my mom always told me I looked like Miss Piggy from The Muppets because I was totally not photogenic."
-Jessica van der Steen

| Jessica van der Steen seems like the kind of girl that could get away with anything. She could cheat on a boyfriend with the entire brass section of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and still be forgiven. After all, the combination of a body and face like hers can be very persuasive... |
 |
| If you're a fan of the female form and magazines glorifying it, you've probably seen Jessica in the 2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She has also worked pushing the products of Clarins, Dior and Libero ADSL. |

The second-largest city in the country, Antwerp is known as Belgium's pillar into history. A marvelous city known for its architectural landmarks, Antwerp has also become an important site within the fashion industry, producing young Flemish designers like Nadine Wynants, Walter Van Beirendonck, Ann Demeulemeester, Kaat Tilley, and Dirk Bikkembergs.
But Antwerp has also given the fashion business -- and the male population at large -- another gift. In 1984, it served as the birthplace of Jessica van der Steen. There is sadly little that is known about her private life, which she likes to keep... well, private.
As a child, Jessica claims that she generally wasn't found attractive (even her mom told her she looked like Miss Piggy). She has described her younger self as not photogenic and recalls being mistaken for a boy.
It could have been as a result of this that Jessica became quite the tomboy, pursuing activities which didn't involve looking good, such as sports. When she was seven, she was hired as a ball girl for the Royal Antwerp Football Club, a popular local soccer team.
As she grew older, her features became more defined and it became obvious that she couldn't pretend to be a tomboy any longer. At this point, she met a professional photographer who took pictures of her. |
