Aria Riccardo

BlueAcadia · May 11, 2021

Aria Riccardo, an elegant african-american international fashion model, worked professionally from the late 70s into the 90s and was represented by Collections (Paris), Elite (New York), Zoli (New York) and Marilyn Gauthier (Paris). She owned the runways, graced the covers of magazines and featured in campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino and Ralph Lauren.

"Valeria “Aria” Riccardo was born in Queens, NY, and became a model at the age of 16 after attending an open call with a friend. She wasn’t really interested in modeling, what she really wanted to do was become a New York police officer like her father. But the world of fashion beckoned, and Aria went on to star in Ralph Lauren and Clairol campaigns as well as walk the runways for Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, YSL and Calvin Klein."
