Get to Know...Isabeli Fontana

ISABELI FONTANA
You know everyone is a little nervous because of their body, because they want to look perfect. It’s a lot of lights on you, so you don't see anything. But the worst thing is when you can hear people talking about you. So that's why I like the very, very, you know, high music.

Hi, I'm Isabeli Fontana. I always felt like an ugly duck, you know. When I walk down the street everyone will come up to me and say, “Oh, my God, you're so beautiful, you can be a model.” I'm like, “Really? Yeah, okay. Does that make money? Can I make money out of it?”

I'm from Brazil. I love Brazil and that's where my family has come from. Normally, I'm trying to be living between Sao Paulo and New York. But to continue my career, I have to go to New York to work and to continue the quality of life. I got to go back.

When I'm in Brazil, I liked to take my kid to the beach, that's my favorite thing. My family was always with me that’s why I'm very grounded. I was not even a teenager when I started; thank God I had my mom. Of course, I love my family. My family is the most important thing I have in my life.

Hi, I'm Isabeli Fontana and (SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Modelinia.
