A resource for anyone who wants to work in fashion. Don't know Oscar de la Renta from Emilio de la Morena? Don't know Mariacarla from Viktoriya?

She was married to model Álvaro Jacomossi but they divorced in 2004. Their son, Zion, was born in 2003. Fontana married actor and model Henri Castelli on December 10, 2005 and their son, Lucas, was born on October 23, 2006 in São Paulo. Fontana and Castelli are separated now and are in the process of divorcing.
