Alessandra Ambrosio
was born in Erexim, Brazil, on the 11th of April, 1981. Her
modeling career started when she decided to take modeling
lessons in Brazil.
The course led to her
participation in Elite's Look of the Year contest in 1996,
which eventually led to her contract with Elite Model Management.
When Guess? got hold
of Alessandra's shots, the clothing line signed her to the
advertising campaign. The company that launched the careers
of Estelle Hallyday and Laetitia Casta can add Alessandra
to their long list of modeling debutantes. |
Alessandra is more than
a Guess? girl. She has graced the covers of magazines such as Capricho,
Desfile, Elle (Brazil), Wallpaper, and Harper's Bazaar (Spanish).
As for fashion shows, Alessandra has walked the catwalks for designers
such as Laura Biagiotti, Christian Lacroix, Byblos, Fendi, Issey
Miyake, Kenzo, Christian Dior, Nicole Miller, and Oscar de la Renta,
among others. Guess? wasn't the only company to see Alessandra's
beauty. She also has contracts with Revlon cosmetics, Gap (as of
late), and is set to appear in advertisements for Calvin Klein eyewear
and Giorgio Armani. Those who caught the Victoria's Secret fashion
show in Cannes on the Internet may have noticed Alessandra in the
show, among a cast of the lingerie line's staples, Tyra Banks and
Stephanie Seymour.
In a country that seems to
breed beautiful women, there must be something in the Brazilian
water. The most popular supermodel to come out of the South American
country is Gisele Bundchen, but the long-legged beauty better watch
her back with Alessandra Ambrosio well on her way.
