Shlomit Malka (Hebrew: שלומית מלכה; sometimes called Shiloh Malka; born December 23, 1993) is an Israeli fashion model from Tel Aviv.
She has appeared in major international campaigns for Armani, Ralph Lauren, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Schwarzkopf, Bebe, and Müller Yogurt. In 2013, she broke into the ten highest earning models in Israel.
In 2015, she became the face of Italian lingerie company Intimissimi, heading its international advertising campaigns, succeeding the likes of Irina Shayk, Barbara Palvin, Bar Refaeli and Ana Beatriz Barros.
Malka was born in Rehovot, to a family of Moroccan Jews and Ukrainian Jews. Her father was a lawyer and her mother worked in PR. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a soldier and a veterinarian.
During her first year of her mandatory military service in the combat engineering unit Yahalom, Malka was discovered by a model agent from her Facebook pictures. She managed to win permission to work from the IDF, and promptly won contracts with Armani, Ralph Lauren, L'Oreal and Schwarzkopf.
During her military service, the IDF permitted her to take part in modeling shoots after pre-approving her requests so long as she made up the time afterwards. She says that the "balance between the military and modelling makes me feel good. I am grounded all the time". Her personal interests are physics, mathematics, and animal welfare.
In 2013, she was chosen as one of Israel breakout models of the year, alongside other Israeli models such as Tanya Pylavets.
