Isabeli Fontana

Bio  Isabeli was part of the 'Brazilian Model Invasion' in the early 2000s. She grew up in the small town of Curitiba, with her parents and two brothers. When just 12 years old, Isabeli announced her intention to become a model to her mom. In 1996 she made the finals in the Elite Model contest in São Paulo, and a year later, at the young age of 14, she moved to Milan to start work as a teen model.

She came to the public's eye with a sizzling debut in the 1999 edition of the Victoria's Secret catalog. By featuring a 16 year old, Victoria's Secret had disregarded their own policy of only including models of 21 or over in the catalog, causing quite a controversy.

Much in demand from fashion designers, Isabeli has modelled on the Paris, Milan and New York catwalks for numerous household names like Ralph Lauren, Bebe, Versace and Valentino. She's also popular with the top fashion magazines, and regularly features in spreads for Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar.

Isabeli lives with her husband (sorry boys!) in New York living a relatively quite life for a top model. She's now a mom to two kids, but still finds time for high profile modelling work .
