Estella Warren biography
Estella Warren was born on December 23, 1978, to a mother who was a primary school teacher and a father who sold used cars.
A professional swimmer, Estella moved to Toronto at 12 to train with the national synchronized swimming team.
In 1996, a career change took her from chlorinated water to designer catwalks. She participated in a high school fashion show, and photos of Estella were sent to a modeling agent in New York. The next thing she knew, she was doing photo shoots with professional fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth and posing for Italian Vogue.
After becoming the senior national champion at 17, Estella Warren could have gone on to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but she chose to make modeling her priority instead.
Since Estella had already lived alone in Toronto for 4 years, it was not difficult to move to New York to pursue a modeling and acting career. Her father became her manager, and modeling gigs soon came Estella's way. When you pass a magazine rack on the street, you may have caught Estella's beautiful face on the cover of the following magazines: French and Spanish Marie Claire, French, German, Spanish and Italian Elle, German GQ, and Yahoo Internet Life.
She has appeared in commercials for Andrew Marc, Byblos, Manuel Canova beachwear, Perry Ellis, Cacharel, De Beers, Samsung notebooks, Cartier, and Volvo, not to mention her appearance in Victoria's Secret catalog. Her most notable work in advertising is for Chanel, who previously used French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis as their spokesperson. Chanel's Luc Besson chose Estella as the new Chanel No. 5 Girl, and she can be seen in ads for the designer perfume.
Estella has walked down the catwalk for the following fashion designers: Andrew Groves, Sonia Rykiel, Kenzo, and Yves Saint Laurent.
She also enjoys riding, playing the piano, singing, and, of course, returning to her original passion, swimming. Estella is no stranger to wearing a swimsuit. Still, she is featured in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, frolicking on the beaches alongside models Laetitia Casta, Carré Otis, and Heidi Klum.
The champion swimmer turned supermodel is currently signed with modeling agencies in New York, Paris, London, and Milan and is looking to take her talents to film. Already building her acting resume, Estella will next be seen in the film Perfume.
