The rest is history, as they say. Her crossover ability and Victoria&#8217;s Secret body had her early on a fixture on runways and fronting Vogues. Flash forward and her name is a mainstay in the leagues of fashion prestige and she\u2019s traversed that bridge of model to multitalented household name, which includes, of course, motherhood.  <\/p>\n<p>These days you\u2019ll find the supermodel and supermom on the idyllic Fisher Island, a \u201clittle oasis,\u201d she says. It\u2019s just a ferry ride away from Miami, Florida where she\u2019s busy juggling a busy work schedule with an even busier family life, if that\u2019s possible. You try dividing time between managing family life, modeling for top glossies, and embarking into entrepreneurship ventures. She admits it\u2019s a round-the-clock unfolding and at the moment she\u2019s the mother of a six year old son named Tobin, and pregnant with her second, \u201cIt is not easy to be balanced. Every woman who has a family is constantly trying to figure it out. How can she do it better, happier, and the best way that she can? It&#8217;s a constant learning experience and changing things. You have to adapt and figure it out. But first it\u2019s, how is my family doing?,\u201d she explains. When she does leave home for jobs she can turn back on model mode, \u201cThat\u2019s when I get to dress up and be glamorous and play with my looks and get to work and be creative.\u201d Striking that perfect balance takes finesse and just like striking the perfect pose, it&#8217;s an art, \u201cI have responsibilities. It\u2019s not like I\u2019m 18 all by myself and can just travel wherever and go to whatever party. I do care about my work so I have to be very selective,\u201d says Karolina over the phone, with small sounds of family clatter in the background.  <\/p>\n<p>During the first time around, Karolina decided not to do any photoshoots pregnant. A decision that was inadvertent, as she was understandably focusing on the new experiences that came with expecting her first child. \u201cIt\u2019s your first time so you don&#8217;t really know what to expect,\u201d she says, \u201cThere&#8217;s just so much you have to get ready for physically. What kind of birthing are you going to do and with who? How does it work? I was just so occupied with a lot of that and just immersing myself and asking what does it mean being pregnant? There\u2019s so much that is happening and there\u2019s so much you&#8217;re trying to learn about and experience. You&#8217;re not thinking how can I make pictures and put myself out there.\u201d But after giving birth to Tobin, which she says \u201cwas the most incredible experience that I&#8217;ve ever had,\u201d Karolina explained that the second time around she knew more of what to expect. With that she was ready to capture the significance of the moment, \u201cWith the second one, I feel more confident, more beautiful, it&#8217;s a special time that you should cherish. It&#8217;s a beautiful, beautiful thing.\u201d So when she wanted to create something unique with Models.com to record and celebrate her experience, we invited video artist Danilo Lauria of <a href=\"http:\/\/fusion.net\">Fusion<\/a> to create this most-memorable and fun clip. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"introcredits\">\nVideo by <a href=\"http:\/\/danilo.nyc\">Danilo Lauria<\/a> for Models.com<br \/>\nModel <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/Karolina-Kurkova'>Karolina Kurkova<\/a><br \/>\nStylist Irene Ojo-Felix<br \/>\nHair Stylist <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/Sasha-Nesterchuk'>Sasha Nesterchuk<\/a><br \/>\nMakeup Artist <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/stefanie-willmann'>Stefanie Willmann<\/a> (<a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/See-Management'>See Management<\/a>)<br \/>\nStyling Assistant <a href=\"http:\/\/dontemcguine.squarespace.com\/\">Donte McGuine<\/a><br \/>\nMusic by <a href=\"http:\/\/samowens.us\/\">Sam Owens<\/a><br \/>\nText by Steven Yatsko<\/p>\n<p>Clothes<br \/>\nPrinted silk dress &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/alberta-ferretti'>Alberta Ferretti<\/a><br \/>\nWhite Printed dress &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/philosophy'>Philosophy<\/a><br \/>\nPink Dress &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/delpozo'>Delpozo<\/a><br \/>\nWhite Lace Bra &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/eres'>Eres<\/a><br \/>\nBlack Lace Dress &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/alberta-ferretti'>Alberta Ferretti<\/a><br \/>\nMetallic Sandals (throughout) &#8211; <a href='\/\/models.com\/client\/pollini'>Pollini<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hPvKNPltG30\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The modeling icon and  mother captures a moment of her pregnancy in stop motion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":42721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,2129,3],"tags":[2765,2767,2218,587,2766,2768,2227,1429,2302],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42698"}],"version-history":[{"count":41,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42730,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698\/revisions\/42730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
