Born in Australia, Bianca Chiminello spent most of her early childhood
training to be a classical dancer. At the age of 15, she was
"discovered" by a modeling agency and, within the year, won the
prestigious Ford Supermodel of the World Competition. She was flown to
America, placed as a finalist internationally and was taken to New York
City with the Ford agency to pursue a new-found career. Whilst modeling
throughout Europe, she worked with many of the world's top designers;
Armani, Moschino, Escada, & Husein Callahan. She also appeared in many
of the top magazines such as: British Vogue, Harpers Bazarre, Allure,
Elle, Marie Claire, to name but a few. She was quickly becoming an
international face that was easily recognizable. In her native
homeland, Bianca signed the Australian Levis campaign, appeared in all
of the country's top publications and opened for a barrage of
Australian designers during Mercedes Australian Fashion week. During
this time, she enrolled in a college of dramatic art, taking three
years away from the fashion industry to train as an actor. She
performed on the stage in productions of "Electra", "The Three
Sisters", "Dangerous Liaisons", "Twelfth Night", "Under Milk Wood" and
"Snow Angel". Due to her exposure as an international model, Bianca
appeared in programs, "E! News" (Australian Edition) as well as
"Looking Good" whilst still continuing her studies.
In 2000, Bianca entered the acting industry professionally; within the
year, she appeared as a semi-regular in the critically acclaimed
science fiction series,
Farscape - Verschollen im All (1999). She went on to work
with the TV productions,
Die verlorene Welt (1999) and
BeastMaster - Herr der Wildnis (1999). Due to the
international release of these television productions, Bianca was
called into the overseas market; as of today, she is based in Los
Angeles and continues to work as a professional actress. Her popularity
in these American productions, has called Bianca to numerous fan-based
events throughout the country. Her exposure and popularity has the
world of fashion calling for her return.
Jeremy Scott, international
designer, was the first to draw her back into the spotlight of fashion,
as she appeared in his summer collection of 2003.
