We’ve become big fans of photographer Giuliano Bekor. These images of Camila Alves caught our eye. Her story is the American dream which continues to happen for some people, if not the majority.
Camilla was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and spent her childhood between the beaches of Bahai and farmlands of Minas Gerais. Arriving in LA at age 15 to visit an aunt, Alves stayed there, working for four years as a house-cleaner and waitress.
After learning English, Camilla Alves moved to New York and launched a modeling career. In 2005, Alves and her mother Fatima, an artist and designer, collaborated to create their handbag company Muxo. In 2010 Alves hosted Bravo’s reality show ‘Sheer Genius’.
Alves lives in New York and Brazil with her partner, actor Matthew McConaughey and their two children Levi and Vida.
