About Frederique Van Der Wal

Frederique van der Wal, born in The Hague on August 30, 1967, is a Dutch model who gained significant recognition for her work with publications like Sports Illustrated and Cosmopolitan, as well as for her involvement with Victoria's Secret. Her striking hourglass physique and notably full bust were distinctive features in the modeling world. Van der Wal pursued her education in The Netherlands, ultimately earning a bachelor's degree in economics. She continues to handle her personal finances and business ventures. In contrast to some of her prominent contemporaries in the 1980s modeling scene, who generally had a more moderate bust size, van der Wal, alongside figures like Donna Karan and Rosemary McGrotha, possessed a fuller chest. She is the mother of a daughter, Scyler Pim van der Wal Klein, with her partner Nicholas Klein. Her brother, Michiel van der Wal, is active in the New York art world as an independent advisor and curator.
