“Models are probably the most sensitive, insecure girls ever. Because we always have to prove our beauty, and this is .. very inhuman. If you think i’m cute, alright. If you don’t think i’m cute, whatever.”

Not only is Mariacarla Boscono brutally honest, but she’s an extremely versatile model-just look at her resume. She’s campaigned for top fashion brands Givenchy , Roberto Cavalli , Armani Exchange , Bulgari , Calvin Klein , Chanel and Christian Dior.

Born in Italy, Mariacarla moved with her parents to Africa in a village in Mombassa when she was only nine years old. At the age of seventeen, she was discovered by a family photographer and friend. Her big breakthrough however, didn’t come until she walked in the Spring Paris fashion show for designers Issey Miyake and Vivienne Westwood. Ever since she’s nabbed the pages of Harper’s Bazaar , Vogue Italia , and British Vogue.

Currently Mariacarla Boscono resides in New York City, her hobbies include cooking and the latest exercise crave, yoga.

Even though she didn’t appear at Givenchy’s couture show on Monday, Boscono can be seen in his latest spring ad alongside models Lakshmi Menon , Lara Stone and Natashy Poly.
