Caroline Trentini started her career at 15 years old. Originally from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Caroline and her doll like beauty has steadily worked with the top tastemakers in the industry. Fans are addicted to her regular turns in American Vogue with her lithe figure almost leaping off the page.

Italian and German descent, the blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty was discovered walking down a street in her hometown by an agent, the same one who scouted supermodel Gisele, and soon afterward she moved to São Paulo, the common destination for young Brazilian models.


Her breakthrough came when Marc Jacobs himself cast her in his Marc by Marc Jacobs ad campaign. Photographer Juergen Teller’s fresh advertisements brought out Caroline’s quirky charm.

In 2004 she was photographed topless by Steven Klein in a freezer, surrounded by meat for a Vogue US editorial. Although it turned out all right, she became a vegetarian. “[The photo shoot] was worth it but I was traumatized,” she said. Steven even sent her flowers and a card congratulating her on her professionalism.


Caroline’s trendy elfish looks and trademark freckles have helped her snag coveted runway spots at shows such as Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Versace, Chanel, Christian Dior, L.A.M.B., Baby Phat, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Dolce & Gabbana. She has appeared on the covers of magazines ELLE, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, among others.

The latest, she's featured in the May American Vogue editorial with boyfriend Victor Demarchelier; Demarchelier is a photographer and son of Patrick Demarchelier.
