A Surprising Start
Cindy Bruna was born in Saint-Raphaël, a town in the south of France, on September 27, 1994. Her father, Stefano Bruna, is Italian, and her mother, Eléonore, is from Brazzaville, the capital of the Congo. Cindy also has an older sister named Christy.
When she was 16, a modeling agent named Dominique Savri spotted her. He thought she had great potential and suggested she travel to Paris for a photoshoot. At first, Cindy was not sure. Her dream was to become a chartered accountant, a professional who manages money for businesses. Her mother also wanted her to focus on her education.
In the end, Cindy decided to give modeling a try. She went to Paris, learned how to pose and walk on a runway, and started her new career. After finishing high school, she began splitting her time between Paris and New York City for work.
Career as a Top Model
Cindy's career took off quickly. After signing with her first agencies, she began working for famous designers like Alaïa and Elie Saab. In 2012, she was chosen to walk exclusively for the brand Calvin Klein, which was a huge honor for a new model.
She has appeared on the cover of the famous fashion magazine Vogue Italia and has been featured in many other versions of Vogue around the world. She has also worked on photoshoots for magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Elle.
Walking the Runway
One of the biggest moments in a model's career is walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Cindy walked in the show for the first time in 2013 and continued to appear in it for several years.
She has also walked the runway for many of the most famous fashion houses in the world. These include:
- Prada
- Burberry
- Chanel
- Michael Kors
- Jean-Paul Gaultier
- Givenchy
- Balmain
- Alexander McQueen
- Armani
Working for Big Brands
Besides walking in shows, Cindy has starred in advertising campaigns for major brands like L'Oreal, Yves Saint Laurent, and Ralph Lauren. In April 2020, L'Oreal officially named her an international spokesperson for their company.
The website models.com lists her as a "Money Girl," which means she is one of the highest-earning models in the industry. She was also included on the Forbes "30 under 30" list, which recognizes successful young people.
Cindy also uses her fame to help others. She is an ambassador for Solidarité Femmes, an organization in France that supports and helps women who are experiencing unsafe situations at home.
