Childhood and youth
The future model was born in 1997 in Toulouse, a major industrial and cultural center of France, located near the Spanish border. Italian and African blood flows in the veins of the sultry mulatto: her mother Nadia is from Sicily, her father Robin is a Frenchman of Moroccan origin.
Little Tina Kunaki with her mother
Parents met in Toulouse, fell in love at first sight and never parted again. They have been together for more than twenty-five years, and their tenderness, care and respect for each other have become for Tina, her sister Cassandra and brother Zachary an example of an ideal relationship between a man and a woman.
Baby’s father – Robert Kunaki
When Tina was three years old, the family moved to the coast, to the picturesque resort town of Biarritz. There, our heroine spent her entire conscious childhood, enjoying the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the majestic power of the ocean. The girl became interested in windsurfing and even planned to devote her future life to this occupation, but the injury crossed out her plans.

But in her modeling career, she was predicted a great future – from the age of eight, a charming baby with button eyes and a naughty head of curly hair was successfully filmed for advertising, and as a teenager she turned into a real beauty.
Model business
Parents traveled a lot with their children, trying to develop their horizons and show them life outside of France. When Tina was fifteen, they sent her to study at a liberal arts college in Madrid so that the girl could learn foreign languages and get acquainted with European culture. And so it happened – a few months later Tina was already fluent in Spanish and English, and Madrid became her hometown. Soon, a young beauty with an exotic appearance came to the attention of representatives of leading modeling agencies, signed a contract first with the Spanish Mad Models Management, and then with the British SUPA and IMG Models.

After that, such titans of world fashion as Jean Paul Gaultier, Loreal, Armani, Marie Claire and many others became interested in the girl. The sultry mulatto defiled on the best European catwalks, appeared on the covers of leading glossy magazines, starred for Victoria’s Secret lingerie and swimwear catalogs.
