Biography |
Caroline Winberg was born on March 27, 1985, in Sollentuna,
Sweden. The daughter of Thomas and Camila, Caroline enjoyed
a relatively normal childhood and was even something of a
tomboy in her youth. In fact, it was en route to soccer
training that a scout spotted the 15-year-old teenager and
suggested that she consider a career in modeling. Though
Caroline always harbored dreams of becoming a professional
soccer player, the exotic and exciting world of modeling
proved to be an irresistible force.
A year later, Caroline was booking local gigs and appearing
in promotional spots for regional companies. It wasn’t long
before she caught the eye of several well-known booking
agencies -- including Women Model Management, Why Not Milan
and Dominique Brussels -- and the up-and-coming model soon
found herself working high-profile campaigns for notable
names such as Valentino, Versace and Armani. Caroline’s
burgeoning fame within the modeling industry quickly
necessitated a move to New York City, where she began
establishing herself as one of the hottest imports around.
By the time she was just 17, Caroline joined the ranks of
some of the more well-known figures within the industry and
she consequently became an exceedingly familiar face amongst
those who follow the fashion scene. One such follower turned
out to be none other than Mick Jagger, who reportedly began
calling Caroline in the hopes of arranging a meeting.
Caroline’s parents publicly pleaded with Mick to leave their
daughter alone, and the story soon became a worldwide news
item. Mick has repeatedly denied the claims.
With that unpleasant mess behind her, Caroline devoted
herself full time to her career, taking on virtually every
campaign and fashion show offered to her. She has
additionally graced the cover of several well-known
magazines, including Flair (Italy), Elle (Sweden), Vogue
(Germany), and Harper’s Bazaar (Russia), and has appeared in
advertisements for companies such as Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger
and Rolex.
In her downtime, she enjoys reading, taking pictures and
just hanging out in her local coffee shop. Though she
currently has no plans to leave the business, Caroline hopes
to eventually have children and settle down in her homeland
of Sweden. |
