VALERIE BRUNO 

CEO | MODEL

BASED IN BOSTON | NYC | MIAMI

Ever since I was young, I always had a passion for the fashion industry, however, I never thought or even attempted to pursue modeling in any form or fashion. It was not until in my late 20’s that I embraced myself and from there, my drive and determination took the lead which started me on this incredible journey. After graduating and staring my business, Originally Crafted Events, LLC (OCE) in February 2020, which mainly focused in the craft beverage industry, the pandemic hit shortly after and with that, we needed to reevaluate and assess what the next steps were. Putting a pause on events, I took up a new hobby, modeling, turning it into a passion and now an added career.

Since then, I have had the opportunity to be signed to an agency here in Boston, appeared on a billboard in Times Square, and hit the runway during Miami Swim Week, New York Fashion Week and Art Basel. However, I have been mostly a freelance model, building my network, portfolio and skills; I am determined, hardworking, positive, energetic and strive to maintain a professional and optimistic manner in all situations. This I feel has helped me not only run but pivot my business, Originally Crafted Events, LLC to even more fun and creative ideas. With my new passion for modeling and knowledge of business to create new and different fashion experiences, I have been able to produced a Miami Swim Week production, The Royal Garden Miami Edition and helped produce the New York Fashion Week Pantone Vivid Magenta show this past February 2023.

 

I have multiple modeling shoots, runway and prints coming up in 2023 and I see myself booking more opportunities as the new year unfolds. I am open to diversifying my portfolio, skill set and network.
