Biography |
Estella Warren was born December 23, 1978, to an elementary
school principal mother and a used-car salesman father. A
professional swimmer, Estella moved to Toronto at the age of
12 to train with the national synchronized swimming team.
In 1996, a change in career paths whisked Estella from
chlorine filled waters to designer catwalks. She
participated in a high school fashion show, and photos of
Estella were sent to a New York modeling agent. Next thing
she knew, she was doing photo shoots with professional
fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth, and posing for
Italian Vogue.
After becoming the senior national champion at 17 years old,
Estella could have moved on to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics,
but she chose to make modeling her priority instead.
Since Estella was already living on her own in Toronto for 4
years, the move to New York to pursue a modeling and acting
career was not a difficult one. Her father became her
manager and modeling gigs were soon coming Estella's way.
Walking by a magazine rack on the street, you may have
caught Estella's beautiful face on the covers of the
following magazines: French and Spanish Marie Claire,
French, German, Spanish, and Italian Elle, German GQ, as
well as Yahoo Internet Life.
Her appearance on the cover of Yahoo was not in vain;
Estella has entered the world of computers with a 2000
desktop calendar, where users can view Estella on their
desktop all year round and even hear recorded greetings of
her.
Estella has appeared in advertisements for Andrew Marc,
Byblos, Manuel Canovas beachwear, Perry Ellis, Cacharel, De
Beers, Samsung notebooks, Cartier, Volvo, not to mention her
appearance in the Victoria's Secret catalogue.
Her most notable work in advertising is for Chanel, who
previously used French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis as
their spokesperson. Chanel's Luc Besson selected Estella as
the new Chanel No. 5 Girl and she can be seen in ads for the
designer perfume.
Estella has walked down the runways for the following
fashion designers: Andrew Groves, Sonia Rykiel, Kenzo, and
Yves Saint Laurent.
When she's not posing for fashion photographers, Estella
also enjoys horseback riding, playing the piano, singing,
and of course, returning to her original passion, swimming.
No stranger to wearing a swimsuit, Estella was featured in
this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, frolicking
on the beaches with fellow models Laetitia Casta, Carré Otis
and Heidi Klum.
Presently signed with modeling agencies in New York, Paris,
London, and Milan, this champion swimmer turned supermodel
is looking to take her talents to the silver screen. Already
building her acting resume, Estella will next be seen in the
soon-to-be-released film Perfume. |
