Caroline Ribeiro Magalhaes was born September 20, 1980, in Belem do Para, the Amazonian region of Brazil. Although the holidays she spent with her family in Brazil are among her greatest memories, Caroline (pronounced Carol-ini) wanted to pursue a modeling career.
Caroline's career started out in Sao Paulo, where she worked as a model for three years but did experience some obstacles along the way. Despite her exotic looks -- that blends her Portuguese and Amazonian Indian heritage -- agents complained about Caroline's teeth and lack of curves. But that didn't stop Caroline; she knew she had what it takes.
After some time in Paris, where she used a portfolio of her Polaroid shots to get gigs, she headed out to New York. She was finally signed by Marilyn Agency in June 1999. The agency, which also houses models Helena Christensen and Fernanda Tavares, saw the beauty in Caroline that Gucci's Tom Ford had recognized a while back.
While agents were complaining about Caroline's "flaws," Tom Ford saw the statuesque stunner and hired her to appear in Gucci's ad campaigns. Caroline has been proclaimed as Tom Ford's ("America's Best Designer" according to Time magazine) favorite model, and her work with Gucci eventually opened up doors to more fashion houses. |
