Eniko Mihalik was born on May 11, 1987, in Bekescsaba, Hungary. Born with a naturally thin frame, she was frequently badgered by other children because of it, with some going so far as to suggest she was physically ill. While being teased certainly wasn’t enjoyable for Eniko Mihalik, she ended up using the teasing as motivation later on.
As she grew up, Eniko Mihalik found herself interested in fashion. In 2002, an innocent trip to the mall opened the door for the 15 year old’s adult career. While shopping, Eniko Mihalik was approached by an agent who suggested that she try modeling. Eager to show her classmates that her skinniness could be put to good use, she took the woman up on the offer and participated in that year’s Hungarian Elite Model Look, walking away with top honors. After graduating to the international competition phase, Eniko Mihalik finished fourth, but she was poised to take further strides in the modeling world.
