Maria Carla Boscono




Mariacarla was born in Rome, Italy. She spent most of her early life travelling because of her father's work. At 9 years old Mariacarla and her family moved to Africa, living in a village between Malindi and Mombassa. Mariacarla was discovered at 17 during a dinner with a family friend who happened to be a photographer. The friend and Maricarla's mother encouraged her to begin a modeling career, but Mariacarla chose to finish school first. Soon after graduating high school she flew to New York and was signed with DNA Model Management. It didn't take long for Mariacarla to rise as an internationally known model, being featured on the Vogue cover several times and in many high fashion runway shows. Recently she was named spokesperson for Hennes & Mauritz (H&M), replacing Kate Moss.

Mariacarla is living in New York, and calls it her second home, coming second after her birthplace of Rome. She has campaigned for such brands as Chanel, Blumarine, Etro, Givenchy, Yves Saint-Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Boscono was absent from the runways for both Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2007 seasons, but made her return to the runways in Paris at the Fall/Winter 2007 Couture collection for the House of Dior. Also back, is Mariacarla's natural black hair.
