List of Italian Models?

[ilyoxox]

I'm writing/presenting a paper for my Italian Civilization class on the model industry in Italy (Milan, especially) and I'm looking for a list of male and female models that would be worth talking about, Italian designers, and anything that could be useful.

Thanks for the help.

here i am

i'm francesca and i live in Milano.

thank you guys for tell my name!!

ok i can list the italian models the are most important and famous in the italian fashion industry (but also keep in your mind that in italy models are like ANYONE, it's not like in Brazil that models are celebrities.. here the models are known only by people in fashion field and by fans..)

and now a list of models that are worth to be mentioned because they work or worked as models in a very good level.

they still work as models

Mariacarla Boscono (28 year-old)

Bianca Balti (24 year-old)

Eva Riccobono (25 year-old)

Chiara Baschetti (21 year-old)

-------------------

they used to be models and now do other things (actress /singers etc) but occasionally they work for fashion houses.

Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann (25 year-old)

Vanessa Hessler (20 year-old)

Carla Bruni (40 year-old)

Monica Bellucci (44 year-old)

Isabella Rossellini (56 year-old)

Remind that Elettra and Vanessa are half italian and half not (one parent is italian).

these are only italian models.

if you want, i can tell you very important models that have italian heritage (many brazilians etc..)

about italian designer, i'll tell you later..
