Models Fashion Runway Backstage – Alessandra Ambrosio And Why Beautiful Women Are Back In Fashion

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

Meet Alessandra Ambrosio. She’s the hottest model to come from Brazil since Gisele Bundchen. Go behind the scenes with Alessandra Ambrosio as she shoots campaigns for XOXO and Victoria’s Secret.  

Alessandra Corine Ambrósio is a Brazilian supermodel. Described by model Tyra Banks as “the future of the modeling world”, Alessandra Ambrosio is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret and was chosen as the first spokesmodel for the company’s “PINK” line. Alessandra Ambrosio is currently one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels. Aside from modeling work, Alessandra Ambrosio serves as an ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Alessandra Ambrosio was also selected by AskMen.com as Number 2 out of the “Top 99 Most Desirable Women”.

Alessandra Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil. Alessandra Ambrósio was just eight years old when she decided that she wanted to be a model, after seeing a picture of top covergirl Karen Mulder in a magazine: “I wanted to be like her”, she recalls. She enrolled at a modeling class at the age of 12 and at the age of 14 she was one of 20 finalists for an elite modeling competition in Brazil. Alessandra Ambrosio was always insecure about her large ears and at eleven had cosmetic surgery to get her ears pinned back, though two years later she suffered complications. In 2006 she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show and said that the surgery was a bad experience and has discouraged her from ever getting plastic surgery again.

When Alessandra Ambrosio was 12 years old, she enrolled in modeling classes. Winning Brazil’s Elite Model Look started her modeling career. Her first notable modeling job was the cover of Brazilian Elle magazine. 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.

She has since appeared in advertisements for brands like Revlon, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Hummer, Rolex, Oscar De La Renta, Gucci, Escada, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana (as seen on the video) and Ralph Lauren, as well as the Pirelli Calendar. She has walked the catwalks for designers such as Prada, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. She has appeared in numerous international magazine covers, including Cosmopolitan magazine, Elle magazine, GQ magazine, Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Marie Claire magazine, and Vogue magazine, and the only model to appear on the cover of Glamour magazine in the United States in 2006.

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. Alessandra Ambrosio is best known for her collaboration 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 and signed an exclusive “Angel” contract with the brand. In 2005, she notably walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway wearing lingerie made entirely out of candy. Alessandra 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. She opened the show the following year.

Alessandra Ambrosio has made several television appearances, notably a cameo as herself on HBO’s Entourage along with Izabel Goulart, Late Night With Conan O’Brien, as guest judge on Heidi Klum’s Project Runway, and The Tyra Banks Show where she was a guest twice. She appeared alongside TV personality Regis Philbin in a worldwide commercial for Hummer. In 2006, she had a cameo on the box-office hit movie, Casino Royale appearing briefly as a tennis girl. Alessandra Ambrosio guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother (episode: “The Yips”) with her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller, Miranda Kerr, and Heidi Klum.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s Victoria’s Secret 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. She was chosen as one of People magazine’s annual “100 Most Beautiful People in the World” in May 2007, along with fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels. Alessandra Ambrosio is among the world’s top-earning models (see our other articles to find out how many millions of dollars per year she makes modeling). When Alessandra Ambrosio first came to New York, Gisele Bundchen lent her apartment for two weeks and Adriana Lima helped her translate English. She described her typical week as jetsetting from one country to another for photo shoots and in between she has some phone interviews. She still visits her family in Brazil regularly and calls Erechim, Brazil her favorite place in the world and having traveled the world has not yet convinced her otherwise.

She is very conscious of her figure and works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira, and aerobics. Alessandra Ambrosio’s best friend is fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros. On August 24, 2008, Ambrosio and her fiancé, California businessman Jamie Mazur, had their first child, a daughter named Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, in Florianopolis, Brazil. Alessandra Ambrosio is represented by multiple modeling agencies throughout the world.

First Face Models Countdown Review Featuring Australian Supermodel Gemma Ward

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

The Perth-born model was the youngest-ever to grace the cover of American Vogue.

Before She Was Famous:

Gemma Ward was the second child and her father is a doctor and her mother a nurse. She has younger twin brothers and an older sister who is also a model. Gemma Ward was educated at Perth’s Presbyterian Ladies’ College and Shenton College. As said herself in a Teen Vogue interview, she accompanied her friends to a modeling 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 mom’s signature (for mandatory parental consent) and pushed me in front of the cameras.”



She was discovered in 2002, while accompanying her friends to the Aussie modeling competition “Search for a Supermodel“. Gemma recalls, “I came to watch my friends. I was sitting there in the crowd when the agent from Perth came over. I didn’t even want to enter. It was a bit of chance. I was so shocked when I got my first job” Gemma later told Teen Vogue, “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. But my friends were like, Hell, yes! They forged my mom’s signature and pushed me in front of the cameras”.

The teenager didn’t win the competition, but with her fragile, unique look, two modeling agencies soon came calling.

Even though Gemma Ward didn’t win the competition, a top Australian modeling agency picked her up after seeing a small picture of her in Kurv, an Australian-produced arts, culture and fashion magazine. Soon she was signed by that Australian modeling agency, and two other international modeling agencies later came in to the scene in addition to her original Australian modeling agency in order to give her further global representation.

Career Highlights

At the age of 15, Gemma Ward was already well known in the Australian fashion industry and at 16 years of age, she was the youngest model to be listed by American Vogue as one of the nine “It Girls” in the modeling world. In September 2004, Gemma Ward became the youngest fashion model to grace the cover of United States Vogue, and the first model to appear on the cover of Teen Vogue. Top fashion magazines such as Harper’s BAZAAR, W Magazine, and Pop all regularly featured Gemma. She has also modeled for an enviable list of fashion houses, including Balenciaga, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Prada, Valentino, Christian Dior, Hermes, Swarovski, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Yves Saint Laurent. Altogether, Gemma Ward has appeared on 30 covers of Vogue Magazine worldwide.

Modeling

Her look inspired a new generation of baby doll-like models and in Allure Magazine (October 2006), Gemma 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”. Gemma Ward appeared on the cover of the first issue of Vogue India, photographed by photographer Patrick Demarchelier. This is the second time Gemma 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 previous 12 months, Forbes Magazine named her 10th 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, Phil Poynter, Mikael Jansson, Nathaniel Goldberg, David Sims and Steven Meisel.

Gemma Ward has also fulfilled her childhood passion for acting by starring in three films. Her debut in 2001 was the Aussie coming-of-age drama Pink Pyjamas. More recently, Gemma starred alongside Toni Collette and Rhys Wakefield in the award winning film The Black Balloon. The film had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany in February 2008, where it won a Crystal Bear award. Later that year, she appeared with Liv Tyler in the suspense thriller The Strangers. John Mayer has also featured the young beauty in his music video for the single Daughters.

Retirement Claims

In 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”.


In the summer of 2011 Gemma 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 elusive Fountain of Youth.

What Are The Fees And Commissions That Modeling Agencies Charge Their Models And Do Models Really Need A Modeling Agency?

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

Many potential models often wonder what modeling agencies actually do for their models and supermodels and if it is really necessary for models to be represented by a modeling agency. Many young women also wonder what modeling agencies charge for their services and if they will actually be able to afford the fees and commissions that their modeling agency will charge them for their services. Thus, ZARZAR MODELING AGENCY known throughout the world as simply ZARZAR MODELS brings to you the answers to one of the most common modeling questions asked by potential new models: do I really need a modeling agency and how much will it cost me to have a modeling agency represent me throughout my modeling career?

The way agencies make money, and this goes for all legitimate agencies around the world, is that they charge the model a fee, normally around 20%, and the client, normally around 20%.

An example would be a client books a model for $1,000 per day. The model goes and works for the 8 hours. The agency then adds 20% to the $1,000 and bills the client for $1,200. The client pays and then the agency pays the model $1,000 minus 20% or $800. So here’s a question: if the agency charges the model 20% and the client 20% what percent does the agency earn on a booking? Is it 40%? – wrong. The entire invoice was $1,200 remember? And the agency earns $400 ($200 from the model and client each). So if you divide $400 by $1,200 you get approximately 33% which is how much an agency earns on a normal booking.

There are also no guarantees since in many cases an agency will work days, or even weeks, with a client on a booking only to have the client cancel it at the last minute, meaning the agency worked all those days or weeks for 33% of $0. That means zero or nothing for the arithmetically challenged.

Now to answer the more difficult question: do models really need a modeling agency? This question is actually a lot easier to answer than the previous modeling question regarding modeling fees charged by modeling agencies. The answer is simple: simply look around at the images above and below (those beautiful magazine covers filled with extremely successful supermodels for the rare few who missed them while reading this article). Finally, for those that still don’t get it (arithmetically challenged again) we have a modeling formula for them: totally unknown female model (and usually clueless about the inner workings of the fashion modeling industry) + world class modeling agency = sexy supermodels on world class magazine covers for the lucky few that make the cut. Add the modeling advise, guidance, training, and thousands of other advantages to having a modeling agency represent you and you may actually wonder why they charge so little for their services.

One final thought…If an agency (or multiple agencies) take you from $0 to $25,000,000.00 (that is $25 million United States Dollars for the arithmetically challenged) in annual earnings as Forbes reported for Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, do you really believe that such level of outstanding modeling performance would have been achieved without a modeling agency or agencies? Think about it for a moment: a client wants to lower his or her expenses as much as possible. You and your agency want to earn as much as possible, so the question is this: if your agency makes more money when you make more money, and if they are highly skilled in the negotiating table, would you prefer to handle the contracts or would you prefer to leave it to the professionals from your mother agency?

Lisalla Montenegro – Maybelline New York’s New Modeling Superstar

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

Go backstage with top model Lisalla Montenegro as she shoots her first campaign for Maybelline New York. The 21 year old Brazilian beauty signed with the cosmetics brand in April, joining fellow glamazon spokesmodels Christy Turlington, Erin Wasson, and Julia Stegner. Now here is your chance to meet her and see her in action!

Maybelline is a makeup brand sold worldwide and owned by L’Oréal based in Paris, France. Their motto is “Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline”.

The Maybelline Company was created by New York chemist T.L. Williams in 1915. Williams, then in his early 20s, noticed his younger sister applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look. He adapted it in his small laboratory and produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine. The product was a local hit, but the awkward name held it back. His sister, who inspired the product, was named Maybel. So T.L. Williams renamed it Maybelline, a combination of Maybel and Vaseline. It is under this name that Maybelline has achieved its now legendary status in the field of cosmetics. In 1917 the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, “the first modern eye cosmetic for everyday use” and Ultra Lash in the 1960’s.

Maybelline received a boost when the company hired Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as the company’s beauty fashion coordinator. Lynda Carter also appeared in several of its television and print advertisements. Christy Turlington, Josie Maran, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melina Kanakaredes, Zhang Ziyi, Siti Nurhaliza, Fasha Sandha, Sheetal Mallar, Julia Stegner, Jessica White, Erin Wasson, Kemp Muhl, Emily DiDonato, Kristin Davis, and now Brazilian beauty Lisalla Montenegro have all endorsed Maybelline products.

In 1991, the company adopted its current advertising slogan: “Maybe She’s Born With It. Maybe It’s Maybelline”. The company was acquired by L’Oréal in 1996. Acquiring Maybelline gave Paris based L’Oreal access to mass markets in cosmetics throughout the world.

Casting Lingerie Models For The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010

Posted on by ZARZAR MODELS Blogger

It is not just the sexiest night on television for thousands of hopefuls, it is the modeling dream of a lifetime. But with only 33 spots and a minute to make an impression, competition and nerves run high. Get a casting director’s eye view of the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Victoria’s Secret was started in San Francisco, California, in 1977 by Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond, who felt embarrassed trying to purchase lingerie for his wife in a department store environment. He opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, and quickly followed it with a mail order catalog and three other stores.

The stores were meant to create a comfortable environment for men, with wood paneled walls, Victorian details and helpful sales staff. Instead of racks of bras and panties in every size, there were single styles, paired together and mounted on the wall in frames. Men could browse for styles for women and sales staff would help estimate the appropriate size, pulling from inventory in the back rooms. In 1982, after five years of operations, Roy Raymond sold the company to The Limited. Raymond’s next business venture ended in bankruptcy. Raymond committed suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in 1993.

The Limited kept the personalized image of Victoria’s Secret intact. Victoria’s Secret was rapidly expanded into the U.S. malls throughout the 1980s. The company was able to offer a widened range of products, such as shoes, evening wear, and perfumes, with its mail catalog issued eight times annually.

By the early 1990s, Victoria’s Secret had become the largest American lingerie retailer, topping one billion United States Dollars.

Beginning in 1995, Victoria’s Secret began holding the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which is broadcasted primetime on American television. The show is a lavish event with elaborate costumed lingerie, varying music, and set design according to the different themes running within the show. The show attracts hundreds of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and/or acts every year.
