Juliana MartinsFacts about Juliana Martins
PicturesBiography for Juliana MartinsJuliana Martins (born on Oct. 3, 1984 (28 years ago) in José Bonifácio, São Paulo state, in the town of Jos Bonifcio, Brazil). She is an Brazilian model. She worked for Sports Illustrated, and contested in the 1997 (15 years ago) Elite Model Look. Juliana Martins was labeled the Brazilian Cindy Crawford (20 walls) by John Casablancas when she was thirteen years old.Early yearsAlthough she always dreamed of being a model, she decided that modeling was out of her reach when she was just 10 years old. But a few years later, at age 12, an opportunity presented itself: she was considered for a commercial campaign. Although she didn't get the job, the opportunity gave her the confidence she needed to enter the Elite Model Look Contest in 1997 (15 years ago), in which she became a finalist.CareerAfter the contest, she signed on with Elite, who represents her to this day, although she is represented in Europe by Munich Models. Juliana's choice to pursue modeling was well informed, as industry players were soon calling Juliana "the Brazilian Cindy Crawford."When she was 15, Juliana first left her native Brazil and started traveling the world, living in locales as diverse as Switzerland, Canada and France. But Juliana's cosmopolitan teen years, ironically, haven't cured her dislike for flying. In the half-dozen years since Juliana decided to model professionally, she's worked for Ralph Lauren, Bruno Magli, Armani, Blumarine and Emmanuel Ungaro. She's been photographed by such noted shutterbugs as Ellen Von Uwerth, Bob Wolfenson and Steve Meisel. Moreover, she's appeared in fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, and was featured in the 2003 (9 years ago) Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, exposing her for the first time to the lucrative, though less fashion-minded, audience of mainstream America. Not surprisingly, Juliana now lives in New York City, whose clubs help to sate her appetite for dancing. But however much she enjoys the nightlife in the Big Apple, her hometown, Jos Bonifcio, still has a special place in the worldly model's heart. It's where "my life, family, and friends are," Juliana once explained. "It's the best place in the world." External links to Juliana Martins Add a new link
