The top model explains how she sent photos to a modeling agency as “a joke.”
Vittoria Ceretti on Proenza Schouler’s Latest Show, WikiFeet, and Her Humble Beginnings
Vittoria Ceretti has cemented her status as one of the most in-demand models in the industry by securing campaigns with Prada, Versace, and Chanel, and gracing runway after runway. While her face is ubiquitous, she is relatively tight-lipped about her personal life. “I’m not a big social media person,” she says in a new Vogue video showcasing a day in her life during New York Fashion Week. “I love to keep my life private.” (She also reveals that she quietly got married during COVID-19.) After all, Ceretti is down to earth; she grew up in a small town outside of Milan. While she didn’t have her sights set on becoming a model, she sent in her Polaroids to a contest with Elite Models with her cousin for fun over 10 years ago. The agency bit, and the rest is history. “It was literally a joke and now I’m here,” explains Ceretti.
The first designers to book Ceretti at the start of her career were Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler for the fall 2016 season. And now she is taking us backstage of their spring 2022 show. “I’ve been excited for the Proenza show,” she says. Though Ceretti is quiet on social media, she is the life of the behind-the-scenes party. She chats with Gigi Hadid who lovingly refers to her as Vito. When Hadid asks for tips on how to walk, Ceretti advises her to “straighten your back, chest out.” Then, she sits with fellow models Jordan Daniels and Katherine McNamara, who get down and dirty talking about WikiFeet, a site that aggregates photos of celebrity feet. Turns out, Ceretti has a 90% rating on her toes. Call her a woman of many talents.
Here, see Ceretti walk through Fashion Week in stride.
