Remember this name because at only 20 years of age this beauty is well on her way to becoming a household name in the fashion world. Brazilian bombshell Gracie Carvalho stepped onto the runway in 2008 with an appearance at Rio and São Paulo fashion weeks. After catching the eye of key casting agents, she signed with Way Model Management in São Paulo, Brazil and has quickly become one of the most sought after faces in the industry. That year alone, she walked in 35 of the 39 fashion shows scheduled for Rio Fashion Week and landed the covers of Brazilian L’Officiel twice, for the months of July and November. Her striking looks have earned her stellar editorials in both Brazilian Elle and BrazilianVogue.

In addition to Way Model Management, she is signed to international agencies; Marilyn Management in New York, Select Agency in London and Marilyn in Paris. She has successfully booked shows for top designers Caroline Herrera, Miu Miu, 3.1 Philip Lim and Viktor & Rolf  just to name a few. If you haven’t spotted her on the runway, you’ve most likely seen her in ad campaigns for DKNY Jeans, Victoria Secret, Express, BCBG Max Azria and GAP.  Gracie Carvalho definitely has an unforgettable face, I predict superstar status within the next few years propelling her to the ranks of her elders Naomi Campbell or Iman.
