Biography |
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.
While the Brazilian beauty was once an Elite girl, she has
switched agencies and is now represented by Marilyn Gaultier.
Although her modeling career is on the rise, Alessandra
plans to pursue a University degree. When she's not
modeling, she spends her time with her model/club promoter
boyfriend of two and a half years, Jayson Lee (although she
has been romantically linked to fellow model Marcelo
Boldrini).
She enjoys sandboarding and lounging on the beach listening
to Brazilian music. Her favorite place in the world still
remains her tiny hometown, and having traveled the world has
not convinced her otherwise.
When not at her New York apartment or busy building a house
in her native Brazil, Alessandra is leaving her mark around
the world with International magazine covers, ad campaigns
and big league designer fashion shows.
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. |
