Biography |
Ana Claudia Michels was born July 31, 1981, in Joinville,
Santa Catarina, Brazil. The green-eyed statuesque beauty
didn't begin modeling by winning any competitions or being
crowned Miss Brazil, although she could very well have, had
she competed.
Ana Claudia was introduced to the owners of the Mega Agency
through a friend, and as her beauty is quite evident, she
was signed on immediately.
With Gisele Bundchen as her role model, Ana Claudia is
making her way up the echelons of fashion quite rapidly.
Ana Claudia has appeared in advertisements for Missoni,
Saba, Tart, Valisere, Vizzano, Zoomp, Calvin Klein, Giorgio
Armani, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Versace eyewear, Versus
fragrance, among many others.
While walking by any magazine store, Ana Claudia's beauty
would stop you right in your tracks as she has graced the
cover of numerous magazines, such as Desfile Brasil in 1998
and 1999; Vogue France, Stockholm New Sweden, and Vogue UK
in 2000; and Vogue and Nova in 2001. This doesn't even
include the editorials she has appeared in.
She strutted her sultry stuff down many catwalks for
designers such as Donna Haag, Genny, Giorgio Armani, Louis
Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs in 1999; Chloe, Exte, Gucci,
Roberto Cavalli, and Victoria's Secret in 2000; and Byblos,
Holland & Holland, John Bartlett, Michael Kors, Missoni,
Versace, Anne Sui, and Imitation of Christ in 2001.
Signed with Women Model Management in New York, Fashion in
Milan, City Model Management in Paris, Mega in Brazil (she
is still signed with them), and Louisa Top Models in
Germany, Ana Claudia had a huge year in 2001, and she'll
only be getting more popular. The Brazilian goddess collects
bracelets from every destination she travels to, and she
will surely have many by the time she's through with
modeling.
In June 2001, Ana Claudia was part of the ensemble cast in
the Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she
modeled for big-time designers such as Ralph Lauren and
Calvin Klein. She also posed for Valisere's catalog.
And if all her work wasn't enough, Ana Claudia was named
"Queen of the Catwalk" by a poll conducted by Vogue UK, with
Naomi Campbell as runner-up. Watch out Gisele!
Besides adoring fans worldwide, Ana has a miniature
Schnauzer named "Rocco." |
