Yamila
was born in Argentina and is the daughter of a physician father
and her mother is a health care manager. She is of Lebanese
and Spanish descent, and Yamila has two sisters, Maria and
Yael.
Yamila was raised in
Argentina, with no original intention to become a model. Everything
changed for her when she was spotted by a modeling agent in
Buenos Aires, where Yamila was an Economics student. |
Yamila as the young Argentinean,
has gone from an unknown beauty frolicking on an Uruguayan beach
in 1996, to one of World's prettiest, sought after models. She is
the new spokesperson for Cover Girl, and is a regular in the most
recent Victoria's Secret catalogues.
Her resume reads like a who's
who book of accomplishments. Yamila has been a cover girl for Harper's
Bazaar, Marie Claire, Glamour and Elle. She was the first Latina
spokesperson in Cover Girl history. Since it was luck that got her
to where she is, Yamila has never allowed herself to develop the
diva attitude many models are known for, despite the glamorous life
she now leads.
It took a while for the exotic
beauty to break through, and she started off by doing department
store catalogues for several years. After her work in the Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar in 1999, Yamila skyrocketed to supermodel
status. Everyone from Glamour to Cosmopolitan took notice, as did
the people at Victoria's Secret. After Yamila modeled lingerie for
their provocative catalogue, it was no secret that Yamila would
appear on the cover of magazines worldwide.
Since Yamila's swimsuit and
lingerie modeling stint, she has graced the covers of Marie Claire,
Elle, the European editions of Max, GQ and Shape. Yamila has also
joined the beautiful models for the 2000 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Edition, including Estella Warren and Laetitia Casta. In addition
to her work with the Newport News catalogue, Yamila has recently
appeared as one of the newest "Cover Girl" models, joining
Niki Taylor, and has also appeared in ads for Replay jeans, Ungaro's
"Fleur de Diva" perfume, and Italian cosmetics "Bio-Etyc".
Yamila currently resides in Manhattan, with her boyfriend, Italian
artist, Giuliano Trivia.
