Valeria Mazza, a beautiful model... What happened to her?

She's an Argentinian woman of Italian origin. In the 1990s, Valeria Mazza became world-famous as one of the top models of the generation. But where has she gone since?

Valeria Mazza was part of the supermodel generation of Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Linda Evangelista. But then things turned quiet...

Born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1972, Valeria Mazza's career as a model began at the age of 14. After a few years of modeling for minor brands, she moved to Buenos Aires at the age of 17. While studying Occupational Therapy, she also worked as a professional model.

Soon enough, great designers and brands noticed Valeria Mazza. Firms such as Armani, Valentino Fendi, and Cavalli counted on her to show their collections. It was common to see Valeria Mazza posing alongside other stars of the moment such as Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, or Linda Evangelista.

And while posing for such prestigious titles as 'Sports Illustrated', 'Vogue', 'Elle' or 'Cosmopolitan', her first television contracts arrived.

Mazza worked for the Italian San Remo Festival, the TV program 'Scommettiamo Che?' and the Argentine program 'Tonight I invite you'.

Of course, Valeria Mazza's forte was always the world of fashion. Giorgio Armani (next to her in the photo) was one of her godfathers in this field.

With a career at the top, Valeria Mazza began to try her luck in other fields. An example, she began her own line of perfumes which he called 'Valeria.'

In addition, she played a role in humanitarian efforts. Mazza was a UNICEF ambassador for several years.

Personally, Valeria Mazza had a long relationship with businessman Alejandro Gravier when they decided to get married in 1998. The couple had a fairytale wedding.

Valeria Mazza and Alejandro Gravier have four children: Balthazar (1999), Tiziano (2002), Benicio (2005), and Taína (2008). This may explain why she was busy for much of the early 21st century!

Appearing less often on the catwalks, Valeria Mazza works for various companies and at times presents a big event. An example is the Taormina Film Festival in 2015, on this photo.

In addition, she has become an expert influencer and promotes brands through her Instagram account.

The model has two accounts. One is more personal and the other @valeriamazzacasa, is professional. She uses it to promote her line of Italian-inspired furniture.

Her other account is @valeriamazzaeyewear, where she presents the latest looks and accessories.

So that's where Valeria Mazza has gone. She's a mother, a businesswoman, and an influencer. In short, a great example to follow.
