Alessandra

I'm from Erexim, Brazil. My modeling career started when I decided to take modeling lessons in Brazil. I participation in Elite's Look of the Year contest in 1996, which eventually led to my contract with Elite Model Management. I became the new Guess? girl which was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I've done the covers of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Capricho, Desfile, ELLE, and Harper's Bazaar, to name a few. As for fashion shows, I have 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. I also have contracts with Revlon cosmetics, Gap, Gucci, Georgio Armani, and Calvin Klein. For the last several years, I have been gracing the pages of the Victoria's Secret catalogs and the runway during their yearly fashion shows. One of my favorite jobs was modeling for the Pirelli calendar, so check out their website. My favorite place in the world still remains my hometown and having traveled the world has not convinced me otherwise. When not in Brazil I live in New York. I love my friends and family more than anything in the world! I love what I do and I'm just having fun living my incredible life.
