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 walking in many high fashion runway shows. Recently she was named spokesperson for Hennes & Mauritz (H&M), replacing supermodel Kate Moss, and during 2006's Fall Fashion Week she traded in her long dark locks for a short platinum blonde hairstyle reminiscent of Jean Seberg. Mariacarla is living in New York, and calls it her second home, coming second after her birthplace of Rome. To date she has campaigned for such brands as Chanel, Givenchy, Yves Saint-Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
