CAROLINE TRENTINI
Last night was a full night of events. Whilst Anna Wintour and Miuccia Prada enjoyed the Metropolitan Opera's Attila, and Todd Selby & Cole Haan celebrated "The Inspired Life" campaign, I jetted over to Clic Gallery for the opening reception of Victor Demarchelier's photo exhibit in Soho.
Caroline Trentini was born on July 6th, 1987 in Rio Grande de Sul, Brazil. Caroline was brought up in a single parent home after the passing of her father and was unexpectedly discovered at the age of 13 while walking down the street. This was no ordinary occurrence because she was discovered by the same model scout that scooped up Gisele Bundchen, perhaps an omen of the enormous success Trentini would have in her later modeling career. The discovery sparked a move to the model town of Sao Paolo and eventually New York City where Trentini couldn’t speak English but was fluent in the language of modeling.
While a handful of models are forthcoming about who they are dating, most like to keep things under raps and out of the limelight. Yet, in the May 2009 issue of Vogue, six models that you see gracing the glossy pages, runways and billboards on the daily are finally showing off more than just their assets: their boy toys. Pictured in the spread is model Doutzen Kroes and boyfriend DJ Ruckus, who met at a Vogue party in 2007 and have been a couple for over a year now.
Many models have significant others from meeting within the industry. Julia Stegner is with Steven Pan, Steven Meisel’s first assistant. Caroline Trentini and Victor Demarchelier first met while he was assisting father Patrick on a shoot with Caroline almost three years ago, while Arlenis Sosa Pena and fellow male model Rene Rodriguez met through their agent. Other models “showcased” are Chanel Iman with boyfriend rapper Tyga and Anna Maria Jagodzinska with econ grad student Duncan Winecoff. However they met and whomever is or is not in the limelight, it’s nice to see the counterparts of the every day household face.
