Greta Varlese (born 21 August 1998) is an Italian fashion model. She was once ranked among the top 50 models in the world by models.com.[3] Vogue has called her a "powerhouse".[4]
Early life[edit]
Varlese's mother is German, and her father is Italian.[5][6] She never considered a serious modeling career before doing the Elite Model Look contest, as she was not interested in fashion.
Career[edit]
Varlese was discovered by Elite Models during their Elite Model Look contest in China; although she didn't win, she made it to the top 10.[7][8]
Just months later she debuted as a Givenchy exclusive in the F/W 2015 Men’s Show, personally handpicked by Riccardo Tisci, which catapulted her career.[9][10] In her first fashion show, she opened for Givenchy.[5] She considers doing three Givenchy campaigns in a row her "greatest achievement".[11]
In her first season she did 75 shows, including Prada, Chanel, Dior, and Versace; she opened Elie Saab, Kenzo, and Rag & Bone.[12]
In 2016, she starred in campaigns for Belstaff x Liv Tyler, Prada, Vera Wang, McQ, Givenchy, Zara, and Valentino.[13][14][15][16][17]
For the A/W 2017 season she did over 32 shows in one month.[18]
She has appeared in Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Teen Vogue, W magazine, and British Vogue and she appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK, Japan, Korea and Kazakhstan.[19][20]
