Valeria Mazza was born on February 17th, 1972,
in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. Her father, Raul
and mother Monica had a close friend that helped
Valeria get her first job as a model, in an amateur
fashion show.
Valeria began modelling in Buenos Aires after
finishing her high school. She was studying Occupational
Therapy when the pull from the world of modelling
brought her to the capitals of fashion. Valeria
has a natural yearning to help those less fortunate,
and did everything she could in her spare time
to help others.
The 5'10", blue-eyed blonde knew she made
it in the big leagues when she appeared on the
cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with
Tyra Banks in 1996. Her hair was so blonde it
became her trademark. When she dyed her dark hair
before several shows, she claims, "no one
recognized me". Valeria says she lost forty
per cent of her fans, who just didn't recognize
her. Already she has appeared on the cover of
US Glamour, US and French Cosmopolitan, Elle Argentina,
as well as many other Latin American publications.

Quotes
"What is important is to have values in life.
What's important is how you are, not how you look."
- Valeria Mazza
"I used to feel the pressure from fashion
people to be skinny, but not any more. Now I know
that I have natural limitations and can't go against
that. So I try to do my best, but I don't get
sick about it. It's very hard when you start a
modeling career because you're very young and
you feel the pressure." - Valeria Mazza,
"There are only five top models in the world:
Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista,
Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer."
