BIOGRAPHY

Marija Vujovic
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Marija Vujovic was born May 19, 1984, in Podgorica, Montenegro.

The niece of Montenegro’s president, Filip Vujanovic, she showed an early affinity for the piano, which she studied for seven years at a local conservatory. Although Marija’s musical gifts were undeniable, her extraordinary beauty ultimately proved to be her ticket out of Montenegro when she entered and won a modeling contest at the age of 18. Marija’s victory lead to her first official contract, and, within a year, she was walking down the catwalk for the fashion house of Yuki Torii.

The following year proved to be an even greater success as Marija spent the fall/winter season modeling for internationally renown designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Andrew Gn, Dries van Noten, Evisu, Lanvin, Laura Biagiotti, and Maurizio Pecoraro.

Marija built upon that success in 2004 when she appeared in over 90 shows, an astounding number for any model -- especially one so new to the business. Highlights include shows for blockbuster designers such as Bill Blass, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein, Christian Lacroix, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Emilio Pucci, and Louis Vuitton. She was also chosen to be the face of the prestigious Yves Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche ad campaign.

As incredible as Marija’s success may have been, she was for the most part just a European entity throughout the early part of her career. That changed in 2005 when she appeared alongside Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks and Gisele Bundchen in The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show -- the world’s only true must-see TV program. Marija increased her profile even more that year when she appeared alongside Naomi Campbell and Adriana Lima in the 2005 Pirelli Calendar. Generally regarded as the world’s most prestigious calendar, the “Cal” as it is known, has been gracing garage walls with its racy brand of glamor photography since 1964.

Marija rounded out the year with appearances in an additional 100 shows, including modeling gigs for Anna Sui, Chanel, Gucci, Hermes, John Galliano, Kenneth Cole, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and Versace, among others.

Marija appeared in over 50 runway shows in 2006, including memorable appearances for designers such as Marc Jacobs, Roberto Cavalli, Zac Posen, and Bottega Veneta.

She has featured in campaings for Dolce & Gabbana fragrance and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. She has been photographed by many legendary fashion photographer and is considered Tom Ford's protegé.
