Early lifeGemma Ward was born on 3 November 1987 in Perth, Western Australia, the second of four children to Gary and Claire Ward. Her older sister Sophie is also a model and she has younger twin brothers, Oscar and Henry. She was educated at the Presbyterian Ladies' College and Shenton College.

As said herself in a Teen Vogue interview, she accompanied her friends to a modelling competition and ended up being scouted herself:

I had come straight from my auntie and uncle's farm, and I was wearing this big gray barn jacket with mud all over it. When the scout came up to me, I said, 'No, thank you.' They forged my mum's signature [for mandatory parental consent], and pushed me in front of the cameras.[3]

Ward didn't win the competition, but Vivien's Model Agency picked her up after seeing a small picture of her in Kurv, an Australian-produced arts, culture and fashion magazine. She was signed by Vivien's Model Management based in Australia, Why Not in Milan and IMG in New York.

so cute she is.

Career Modeling At only sixteen, Ward was the youngest model to be listed by American Vogue as one of the nine "It Girls" in the modeling world She has been in shows for designers such as Prada, Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, and many more. Ward has also graced magazine covers such as Vogue, W, and TIME Magazine's Style and Design issue. In September 2004, at the age of 16, Ward became the youngest fashion model on the cover of the American edition of Vogue and was the first model to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue magazine.She is the first model since Kate Moss to be the face for Calvin Klein's perfume "Obsession Night for Men" along with Philadelphia male model, Drew Keilt

To date, Ward's clients have included Shiatzy Chen, Balenciaga, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Jil Sander, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Rochas, Swarovski, Valentino and Yves Saint-Laurent, and, altogether, Ward has appeared on 30 covers of Vogue magazine worldwide.

Her look inspired a new generation of baby doll-like models such as Vlada Roslyakova, Heather Marks, Lily Cole, Lisa Cant, and Jessica Stam.

In Allure magazine (October 2006), Ward is described as "the model of the moment." Allure's creative director Paul Cavaco stated: "We went through a period that was very va-va-voom, but now the pendulum has swung back. Gemma is ethereal, not earthy." Photographer Michael Thompson says, "She's an exotic blonde, the rarest of creatures."

Ward appeared on the cover of the first issue of Vogue India, photographed by photographer Patrick Demarchelier. This is the second time Ward has appeared on an inaugural issue—the first time being the first-ever cover of Vogue China in 2005.

In July 2007, earning at an estimated total of $3 million in the past 12 months, Forbes named her tenth in the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.

Vogue Paris declared her one of the top 30 models of the 2000s.

Gemma has worked with the industries most renowned photographers including Mario Sorrenti, Nick Knight, Craig McDean, Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, Paolo Roversi, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Phil Poynter, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Klein, Greg Kadel, Mikael Jansson, Nathaniel Goldberg, Karl Lagerfeld, Glen Luchford, David Sims and Steven Meisel.

[edit] Retirement claimsIn August 2008, reports surfaced that Ward was to retire from modeling to pursue acting. However, reports were quickly dismissed by Ward herself saying: "I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I'm only 20, for God's sakes."

Slightly over a year later, however, in November 2009, Ward confirmed that she was retiring following a series of criticisms about her weight gain. A spokesperson from Viviens modelling agency in New York released a statement, saying: "Gemma hasn't committed to returning to modeling at any time soon", adding Ward had the agency's full support.

Again, Ward quickly dismissed the retirement claims, confirming that she would return to modeling in 2010

The Black Balloon had its world premiere at the 58th Berlin International Film Festival in Germany in February 2008, where it received a Crystal Bear as the best feature-length film in the Generation 14plus category. She was also cast opposite Liv Tyler in the suspense thriller The Strangers as one of the three masked intruders, "Dollface". She also appeared in the music video for "Daughters" by John Mayer. In the summer of 2009, she took classes at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York.

In the summer of 2011 Ward will be playing the part in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, as Tamara, Queen of the Mermaids, and meet Jack Sparrow during his search for the illusive Fountain of Youth

Biography
Du Juan has established herself as one of the most successful Asian models in the industry. She was the first Asian model to grace the cover of French Vogue. She has taken the fashion world by storm since her debut at the Spring 2006 Paris Haute Couture where she walked for top designers- Chanel, Valentino, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier and Anne Valerie Hash.

Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Du Juan started modeling by chance. Her childhood dream was to be a world-class dancer and she studied both dance and opera at the prestigious Shanghai Dance School. Unfortunately, Du Juan was told she was too tall to continue dancing, which lead her to try modeling. She took the top prize at a national modeling competition. Her graceful ballerina like manner translated beautifully behind the camera and Du Juan quickly made a name for herself in fashion.

Du Juan has worked with some of fashion’s most renowned photographers – Mario Testino, Peter Lindberg, Patrick Demarchelier, Mert and Marcus, David Sims, Paolo Roversi, Mario Sorrenti, Karl Lagerfeld, Juergen Teller, and Craig McDean, to name a few. She is also featured regularly in such influential magazines as Vogue (Italian, French, American, Chinese), W, PoP, and Allure. She is the most prominent face of China Vogue – with over five covers including the inaugural issue, and at least one editorial in each issue since its launch in September 2005.

In her first international show season, Du Juan walked down an astonishing total of 43 runways for top brands such as Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, Hermes, Kenzo, Bottega Veneta, Emmanuel Ungaro, Dries Van Noten, Oscar de la Renta, and Badgley Mischka. She remains a prominent feature on the runways of the world.

Du Juan’s success within the fashion industry was solidified later that year by appearing in global advertising campaigns for five major international brands – Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, the Gap, Swarovski, Shanghai Tang, the first Chinese global luxury brand and Lane Crawford, Asia’s premier luxury retail giant. She can currently be seen in the Fall Winter 2008 advertisements for Giorgio Armani and David Yurman.

Now based in New York City, Du Juan travels home to China when she has a break in her demanding schedule. She remains one of the most sought after faces in the industry

CareerA former Ford Supermodel of the World runner-up, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino (opening and closing his bridal show), Jean-Paul Gaultier, Shiatzy Chen, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel.

In 2005 Mario Testino photographed her for the cover of Vogue Paris with Australian model Gemma Ward becoming the first ever Asian cover-model. This lead to a flurry of advertising campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Gap, Swarovski, United Colors of Benetton, and Yves St. Laurent. With multiple bookings being a rare accomplishment, particularly for a new face, Style.com the online home of Vogue and W magazine, declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the Fall 2006 season.[10] She graced the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China and has since become a fixture in its pages,[11] appearing in almost one editorial per issue since its launch in 2005.[12] She has also appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME with fellow model Coco Rocha, and is one of the models featured in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar, which was shot in her native Shanghai.

She peaked at number 14 on model ranking site MODELS.com: In recent seasons Du has been featured in advertisement campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Esprit, Anna Sui, Uniqlo, David Yurman and Yue Sai, a Chinese expansion of L'oreal.

Du has appeared in editorials for Allure, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, V magazine, i-D and the Italian, American, Chinese, French, Taiwanese, Korean and British editions of Vogue.[13]

In 2010 she appeared in a music video for Cantopop singer Jacky Cheung's "Double Trouble" as Cheung's love interest.[14]

Largely absent from Europe in recent seasons, Du spends her time between New York and China
Her favorite fashion designer is Alber Elbaz of Lanvin.[15]

In 2009, Du Juan released a two-piece cosmetic line inspired by a shoot with photographer Camilla Akrans which included 24 Carat Gold body sparkle.[16] In the same year, Chinese model agency New Silk Road sued Du Juan for $659,000 USD for an alleged breach of contract;[17] The outcome is yet to be known.

Her friends include Gemma Ward, Sasha Pivovarova, Mackenzie Hamilton, Ai Tominaga [18] and Han Jin as well as Chinese models Emma Pei, Liu Wen, and Shu Pei

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen covers Vogue Italia December 2010 issue. Shot in black and white by Steven Meisel with styling by Panos Yiapanis .

Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen looks fierce for Vogue Nippon January 2011 issue. Photographed by Mario Sorrenti, Gisele can do no wrong with that kind of pose.

Gisele Bündchen is the daughter of Valdir and Vânia Bündchen, both of German descent, along with five sisters: Raquel, Graziela, Patricia, Gabriela and Rafaela.

Patricia and Gisele are fraternal twins. Bündchen has mentioned several times that at least one of her sisters has attempted a modeling career as well. Pictures of her family reveal they share the same statuesque bone structures, and long, wavy brown hair.

While in school, Bündchen was so thin that her friends used to call her "Olívia Palito" (Portuguese for Olive Oyl, Popeye's skinny friend), and Saracura (a kind of long-legged bird). She liked to play volleyball, and had even thought of becoming a professional for Brazilian team, Sogipa.

An often told story about the "discovery" of Bündchen is when, as a schoolgirl, she went to a McDonalds and was eating a Big Mac when an agent discovered the bronze-haired beauty. In an interview, Bündchen remarked that she at first did not know what a model was, thinking it was something perhaps akin to being a hooker.

In 1993, Bündchen, 13 years old, joined the Dilson Stein's mannequin course to correct her posture, with her sisters Patrícia and Gabriela, because her mother insisted. The course was for teenagers who wanted to be models. In May 1994, Stein took 50 girls to São Paulo to give them a chance to walk in a big city and to let them be evaluated by Brazilian Elite agents.

On August 20, 1993 Bündchen was playing volleyball for Sogipa, in Porto Alegre. Elite "kidnapped" her and took her to a contest. She came between the five finalists. Then, she went to São Paulo. She came in second in the national Elite Look of the Year contest - Claudia Menezes, from Bahia, was the one in the first place. In the world contest, in Ibiza, Bündchen came in fourth.

While she was easily noticeable for her beauty, she still endured physical criticism. As a teen, Bündchen moved to New York City to begin her runway debut at Fashion Week, she was so nervous she decided to get a blue star tattoo on her wrist. The tattoo is very noticeable on the model, but there seems to be no attempt to cover it up with make-up in photo shoots or runway shows.

After her debut in NYC, she was immediately embraced by the fashion world. Bündchen has done ads and runway shows for various fashion houses including Valentino, Zara, Bvlgari, Tommy Hilfiger, Chloé, Celine, Versace, Christian Dior, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret, Dolce & Gabbana, and Louis Vuitton. She has also appeared on the covers of Allure, Marie Claire, Vogue USA, Vogue Italia, Harper’s Bazaar, Arena, and Rolling Stone.

Her curvaceous figure prompted Vogue to refer to her body of work as the "return of the sexy model", since she seems to have marked the end of a trend of "waif" models such as Kate Moss. In 2000 her annual earnings were reportedly $150 million and she commands between $7000.000 and $500,000 per hour for runway shows.She is the worls's richest supermodel.

Modeling career

.When Ambrosio was 12 years old, she enrolled in modeling classes, then began modeling for Dilson Stein at age 15.[6][13] Winning Brazil's Elite Model Look started her modeling career in earnest.[4] Her first notable modeling job was the cover of Brazilian Elle magazine.[1] Elite passed along some of her Polaroids to Guess which led her booking the Millennium GUESS? campaign along with friend and fellow Brazilian Ana Beatriz Barros.[14] She has since worked with brands including Revlon, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Rolex, Oscar de la Renta, Gucci, Escada, Rocco Barocco, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, as well as the Pirelli Calendar.[6][15] She has walked the catwalks for designers such as Prada, Laura Biagiotti, Dolce & Gabbana,Christian Lacroix, Shiatzy Chen, Byblos, Fendi, Issey Miyake, Kenzo, Christian Dior, Nicole Miller, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Vivienne Westwood,Giles, Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta.[6][13] She has appeared in numerous international magazine covers, including Cosmopolitan, Elle, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Ocean Drive, Vogue and the only model to appear on the cover of Glamour in the United States in 2006.[4][10]

In 2004, Ambrosio launched her line of swimwear called Alessandra Ambrosio by Sais, a division of Rosa Chá. It sold 10,000 units in only its first month on the market.[13][16][17]

Ambrosio's best-known collaboration is with American lingerie brand Victoria's Secret. She appeared in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time in 2000. By 2004, she was selected as the first spokesmodel for the Victoria's Secret "PINK" line[10] and became a contracted "Angel." In 2005, she notably walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway wearing lingerie made entirely out of candy.[18] Ambrosio then garnered attention in the 2008 edition of the Fashion Show, walking the runway only three months after giving birth to her first child.[19] She opened the show the following year.

Ambrosio's Angel status has brought her to the public's attention, often being cited by the popular media as one of the world's sexiest women.[20] She was chosen as one of People magazine's annual "100 Most Beautiful People in the World," in May 2007, along with fellow Angels.[21] Ambrosio is among the world's top-earning models.[22][23]

.

On the July, 2009 cover of Marie Claire, Ambrosio appeared in a spread with Sacha Baron Cohen to promote Baron Cohen's 2009 film Brüno

Whether she’s dressed up in candy or just being altogether angelic, the very spicy Alessandra Ambrosio is easily among the modeling world’s most beautiful women. A regular on the annual list of the AskMen Top 99 Most Desirable Women, she’s also one of the highest-paid ladies in the industry as well. Perhaps most familiar to men as one of the resident Victoria’s Secret Angels since 2004, she’s also graced the cover of countless magazines, while making memorable stops in movies (Casino Royale) and television (Entourage and How I Met Your Mother).

Besides adding credence to the theory started by Gisele Bundchen that only undiscovered supermodels live in Brazil, Alessandra Ambrosio is now a proud member of the Unofficial MILF Modeling Club where she’s proudly flaunting off her post-baby shape to eager industry observers and her many male admirers around the world.

http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/natalia_vodianova/photos/photos.htm

born 28 February 1982) is a Russian supermodel.

Natalia Vodianova and Fredrik Ljungberg in a commercial for Calvin Klein. Born in Gorky (now Nizhni Novgorod), Russia's third largest city, she lived with her mother and two half-sisters in unpleasant conditions. Her mother's abusive boyfriends and a tight financial situation dogged her throughout childhood.

Helping her mother with her fruit stall business at the tender age of 11, Vodianova moved into her own apartment with a friend at 15 years old. They started their own fruit stall to help out the struggling family and were actually quite successful, all things considered. They were able to help out Vodianova's sisters, one of whom is an invalid.

Just before moving, Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy, where she learned ladylike behavior and etiquette. Fortunately, she also went to casting opportunities, and one day, she caught the eye of a scouting agent from Paris. He told her that a great future was in store for her; all she had to do was learn English in three months.

Convinced that her life could change for the better, Vodianova did just that. At 17, she moved to Paris to try her hand at modeling. Delighted to work, she was a dream client for the Viva agency and was an inspired woman.

When she was 19 years old, she made headway in modeling but still had not made it big. For some time, she was distracted however, after falling in love with and marrying British real-estate heir the Hon. Justin Trevor Berkeley Portman, a half-brother of the 10th Viscount Portman.

She gave birth to their son Lucas Alexander Berkeley Portman on December 22, 2001, and posed with her baby in Vogue magazine. In September 2002 Natalia and Justin married in a lavish ceremony in St. Petersburg.

Soon, Vodianova's phone was ringing off the hook. Gucci made her the new face for their perfume line after she had more than 40 runway shows under her belt, and then Calvin Klein called to hire her for their big Spring show. She was officially the hot new face in town and even made a brief appearance in Roman Coppola's film CQ with Billy Zane.

Now, with campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein's collection and his fragrance, Euphoria, and Miss Sixty to her name, Vodianova is a true supermodel. In October 2005, Natalia and her husband announced they are expecting their second child.

Adriana Lima was born on June 12, 1981 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. At a very young age Adriana competed in local pageants, and while still in high school, Adriana entered the Supermodel of Brazil competition presented by Ford Models. Adriana won the contest and moved on to Supermodels of the World competition, in which she was awarded second place. Adriana was quickly snapped up by Elite Model Management.

After signing with Elite, Adriana swiftly landed print, ad and runway work. Her first runway appearance was in 1997 for Anna Sui. She subsequently made appearances on the catwalk for Emanuel Ungaro and Balmain. In 1999, Adriana Lima landed a major contract with Victoria’s Secret for their annual fashion show and their summer catalogue. Adriana was shortly named a Victoria’s Secret Angel, boosting her career even further.

Soon after landing a contract with Victoria’s Secret, other companies and designers such as Guess?, Vera Wang and Ralph Lauren quickly took interest in Adriana too. In 2002 and 2003, Adriana Lima took to the runway for many major fashion houses, including Christian Dior, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen. Adriana then landed a covetable cosmetics contract with Maybelline.

Throughout her modeling career, Adriana landed covers of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. She also appeared in advertisements for Anna Sui Jeans, Armani Jeans, BCBG, Bebe, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Guess Jeans and XOXO. In 2008, Adriana also took on an acting role - playing herself in the popular televisions series Ugly Betty. She is currently one of the highest paid models and her career continues to go from strength to strength.
