It doesn’t matter if you speak Portuguese, Italian, French or English, because no matter what your language of choice is, you’ll be able to converse with Michelle Alves. While her language skills are quite impressive, the Brazilian born model’s culmination of covers is just as: she’s scored over 100 in her time as a model.
Born in Londrina, Parana, Brazil to a lawyer and engineer, Michelle quickly found her way into the modeling industry, though she originally was planning to civil engineering. The fashion world welcomed Michelle with open arms, and she escaped the classroom for a life of world traveling and photoshoots.
Michelle has walked the runways for Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Diane Von Furstenberg, Balenciaga, Christian Lacroix, Versace, Fendi, John Galliano, Alberta Ferretti and Ralph Lauren, while serving as the face of brands like Christian Dior, Emporio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, DSquared, GAP, Escada, and Missoni.
Though 2006 saw her retire from the runway, Michelle has graced a few designers with her catwalk skills since then, most recently walking down the Armani Privé and Christian Dior couture runways, and blogging for Modelinia.

When she’s not modeling, Michelle spends her free time with her son, daughter, and husband Guy Oseary.
