Carla Campbell Bio

Carla Campbell Biography 

 

Jamaican model Carla Campbell broke onto the modeling scene in 2006 with a fresh and vibrant spread in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. And she hasn’t looked back since, finding work with various commercial companies, magazines, and cosmetic lines.

Carla Campbell was born July 11, 1981 in Kingston, Jamaica.

 

A prominent model in the industry today, she is currently under contract with IMG. Located in New York, IMG is one of the premier agencies noted for representing the best and brightest of the modeling world. A sampling of others represented by this prestigious company include Drew Barrymore, Heidi Klum, Hilary Duff, John Galliano, Julianne Moore, Naomi Campbell, and many others.

 

Prior to her big break, Campbell did increase her visibility with an appearance in the 2004 documentary Women of Island Paradise. Directed by Jacks, the film highlighted such swimsuit models as Nadia Benavides, Larissa Bordere, Vanessa Fernandes, Sanya Hughes, and many more.

 

Campbell received the big break she needed in 2006. Radically increasing her exposure, she appeared in Sports Illustrated’s always lauded swimsuit edition.

 

Appearing on these pages not only gave her career a major boost, but it actually made history. With that modeling gig, she became the first woman of Caribbean descent to appear on those highly coveted pages.

 

Also finding work with the commercial and popular lingerie line Victoria’s Secret, Campbell secured her space as the second Caribbean woman to work for the company. In doing so, she joined the ranks of fellow Secret models (current and former) Tyra Banks, Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart, Miranda Kerr, Helena Christensen, and many others.

 

During her short time with the modeling industry, Campbell has already landed some extremely lucrative and much desired contracts. To that end, she has worked with Nike, Avon, Footlocker, Miller Beer, Fubu, and Target. She has also lent her image to LOreal and magazines such as Seventeen and Maxim.

 

Possessing the perfect figure and stance for a model, Campbell stands at five feet, eleven inches tall. And it is this body type for which she is arguably best known. Having a toned body as well as height, she is particularly noted for her naturally large chest. In this way, she has drawn frequent comparisons to fellow Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller.

 

She has yet to be romantically linked to anyone, but as her star continues to rise, her personal life will inevitably become more and more the topic of public consumption.
