VALERIE BRUNO 

CEO | MODEL

BASED IN BOSTON | NYC 

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. With the pandemic hitting shortly after, I needed to reevaluate and assess what the next steps would be. 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 appeared on a billboard in Times Square, hit the runway during Miami Swim Week, New York Fashion Week, Art Basel and have worked with local and out of state brands. I have been 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 in my modeling career but help run and pivot my business, OCE to even more fun and creative ideas. With my passion for modeling and knowledge of business I have been able to create new and different fashion experiences, producing a Miami Swim Week production, The Royal Garden Miami Edition and co-produced the New York Fashion Week Pantone Vivid Magenta show February 2023.

 

I have multiple brand shoots, runway and print campaigns the rest of 2024 and see myself booking more opportunities as the new 2025 year unfolds. I am open to diversifying my portfolio, skill set and network.
