Biography |
Daria Werbowy was born on November 19, 1983, in an Eastern
European hotbed of beautiful women, the great nation of
Ukraine. Her parents moved to Mississauga, a suburb on the
outskirts of Toronto, Canada, when she was 3.
At age 14, Daria was a gigantic 5'11", slim with narrow hips
and sporting braces. She had never seriously considered
modeling, but found herself launched into the business after
meeting a schoolmate's mother who headed Toronto's Susan J.
Model & Talent Management.
After a year shooting for Susan J., Daria thought she could
be doing more with another agency. She was right: after
switching over to Elmer Olsen Models, Daria really began to
flourish. Within a few years, she had built one of the most
enviable resumes in the modeling world. To date, her clients
have included Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Marc Jacobs,
Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, and Christian
Dior.
By 2001, Daria had appeared on the cover of French Canada's
glossy fashion beacons, Elle Quebec and Clin d'Oeil. She
went national with a shoot for Canada's Fashion magazine,
and soon afterwards went global. Flare, W and Numro all used
Daria's mug to sell copies, as did the granddaddy of fashion
mags, Vogue (Daria did the covers for the American, Italian,
Japanese, Greek, and Portuguese editions).
For ad campaigns, Daria lent her wintry eyes to Maxi, U2,
Gucci, Chanel, and multiple Prada campaigns. One of her most
renowned shoots was alongside Kate Moss and Gisele Bndchen
in a campaign for Gloria Vanderbilt.
Daria had a brief romance with actor Josh Hartnett, but is
alleged to have dumped the 26-year-old actor because of his
immaturity. Daria continues to live in Mississauga, Ontario. |
