How Shlomit Was Discovered
Shlomit was a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). She served as an instructor in a special forces unit called Yahalom. During her first year as a soldier, a model agent found her. The agent saw her pictures on Facebook. Shlomit was able to get permission to work as a model while still serving in the military. She quickly got contracts with big brands like Armani, Ralph Lauren, L'Oreal, and Schwarzkopf.
The IDF allowed her to do modeling photoshoots. She had to get approval for each request. She also had to make up any time she missed from her military duties. Shlomit said that balancing her military service and modeling made her feel good. She felt "grounded" by it. She is also interested in physics, mathematics, and helping animals.
In 2013, she was named one of Israel's breakout models of the year. This means she became very popular and successful.
