Born on September 19, 1978, in Londrina, Brazil, Michelle Alves grew up amidst successful academics -- her father was an engineer; her mother, a lawyer. Coming from this background, Alves was taught that school came first and she was encouraged to study hard and attend university.
At Londrina State University, Alves studied civil engineering. The tall green-eyed brunette was a star student, and consistently achieved top marks in her classes. Despite a promising future in engineering, Alves was not convinced university was for her. She had a strong desire to travel the world and experience different cultures. After modeling talent scouts told Alves that she had the goods make it in the fashion world, she took the opportunity in order to satisfy her dream.
Following a move to Sao Paolo, Alves quickly gained a solid footing in the South American modeling world. Her next goal was to emerge on the American scene as fellow Brazilian models Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen and Ana Beatriz Barros had before her.
Michelle hit stateside in 2002, and in a big way. She appeared in Elle, Glamour and Vogue magazine several times and then filled one of a cherished 16 remaining spots at the 2002 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a widely watched television event. Subsequent to the taping, Michelle signed on as a Victoria's Secret model, joining some of the biggest names in modeling and cementing her standing as a successful model in America. |
