Chiara Ferragni (born 7 May 1987) is a famous Italian blogger, businesswoman, fashion designer, and model. She is well-known for working with many fashion and beauty brands through her popular blog, The Blonde Salad.

Who is Chiara Ferragni?

Chiara Ferragni was born in Cremona, a city in northern Italy, in 1987. She is the oldest of three daughters. Her mother, Marina Di Guardo, is an Italian writer from Sicily. She also worked as a deputy director for the Blumarine fashion house.

Her Early Life and Career Start

When Chiara was 16, she started modeling for an agency in Milan. She modeled for a few years but then decided to stop to follow other dreams.

In October 2009, she launched her fashion blog called "The Blonde Salad" with her ex-boyfriend, Riccardo Pozzoli. By December 2011, she was featured in Teen Vogue magazine as the "Blogger of the Moment."

Becoming a Fashion Influencer

In December 2013, Chiara published a book in Italian also called The Blonde Salad. She also modeled for the brand Guess in an ad campaign. Later that year, she worked with Steve Madden to create a collection of nine shoes. Her business ventures, especially her shoe line called Chiara Ferragni Collection, earned a lot of money.

Chiara also appeared on TV shows. She was a presenter at the Italian TRL Awards and a guest on the Italian show Chiambretti Night. In August 2014, she was a guest judge on the TV show Project Runway.

Business Ventures and Collaborations

In January 2015, her blog and shoe line, Chiara Ferragni Collection, became a special study case at Harvard Business School. This means her business was studied as an example of success. In March, she made history by becoming the first fashion blogger to appear on the cover of Vogue España magazine. She also appeared on Lucky magazine.

In January 2016, Pantene announced that Chiara was their new global ambassador. This meant she would represent the hair care brand all over the world. In September 2016, Mattel even created a Barbie doll that looked like Chiara Ferragni! One Barbie wore a white T-shirt, black leather jacket, jeans, and Chiara Ferragni Collection shoes. Another wore a full Chanel outfit.

By July 2017, Chiara had 10 million followers on Instagram. Because so many people followed her, she could earn money for sponsored posts. In 2017, she also designed costumes for a show called Intimissimi on Ice. On July 26, 2017, she opened her first Chiara Ferragni Collection store in Milan.

In June 2020, the Italian rapper Baby K released a summer hit song called "Non mi basta più" which featured Chiara Ferragni. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, Chiara and her husband raised €3 million in just 24 hours to help the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.

In April 2021, Chiara joined the Board of Directors of Tod's Group, a big fashion company. She later left this position in March 2024. In May 2021, she launched a special collection with Nespresso. She also announced her own line of perfume in 2022.
