Greta Varlese (born August 21, 1998) is a famous Italian fashion model. She was once named one of the top 50 models in the world! A big fashion magazine called Vogue even said she was a "powerhouse," which means she's super talented and strong in the fashion world.

Greta's Early Life

Greta Varlese was born in Italy. Her mother is German, and her father is Italian. When she was younger, Greta wasn't very interested in fashion. She never thought about becoming a model.

Her path to modeling began when she joined the Elite Model Look contest. This competition helped her discover a new career.

How Greta Started Modeling

Greta Varlese was found by Elite Models during their Elite Model Look contest. This happened when she was in China. Even though she didn't win the whole contest, she made it into the top 10. This was a great start for her.

Her Big Break with Givenchy

Just a few months later, Greta got a huge opportunity. She made her first appearance as a model for the famous brand Givenchy. This was for their Fall/Winter 2015 Men’s Show. The designer, Riccardo Tisci, personally chose her.

This special chance really launched her career. In her very first fashion show, she was chosen to open the show for Givenchy. Opening a show is a very important role for a model!

Greta considers doing three Givenchy advertising campaigns in a row her "greatest achievement." This shows how much she valued working with them.

A Very Busy First Season

In her first season as a model, Greta was incredibly busy. She walked in 75 different fashion shows! These included shows for very famous brands like Prada, Chanel, Dior, and Versace.

She also had the honor of opening shows for other big names. These included Elie Saab, Kenzo, and Rag & Bone. Opening a show means she was the first model to walk out.

Starring in Campaigns and Magazines

In 2016, Greta became the face of many important advertising campaigns. She worked for brands such as Belstaff (with Liv Tyler), Prada, Vera Wang, McQ, Givenchy, Zara, and Valentino.

For the Fall/Winter 2017 season, Greta walked in more than 32 shows. She did all of these shows in just one month! This shows how in-demand she was.

Greta has also been featured in many top fashion magazines. These include Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Teen Vogue, W magazine, and British Vogue. She has even appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK, Japan, Korea, and Kazakhstan editions.
