Mariacarla was born in Rome, Italy.
She spent most of her early life travelling because of her father's work.
Her parents lived in Thailand before she was born, but after her mother
became pregnant they moved to Rome to raise Mariacarla. She spent a couple
of years in Rome until moving to Providence and then Key West. She spent
her early school years in the States, but her parents thought it would be
better for Mariacarla to study in Italy and reconnect with her Italian
heritage. This did not last very long though, at 9 years old Mariacarla
and her family moved to Africa, living in a village between Malindi and
Mombassa. Mariacarla described her years in Africa as "the most fantastic
in her life".
Mariacarla was discovered at 17 during a dinner with a family friend who
happened to be a photographer. The friend and Maricarla's mother
encouraged her to begin a modeling career, but Mariacarla chose to finish
school first. Soon after graduating high school she flew to New York and
was signed with DNA Model Management. It didn't take long for Mariacarla
to rise as an internationally known model, being featured on the Vogue
cover several times and walking in many high fashion runway shows.
Recently she was named spokesperson for Hennes & Mauritz (H&M), replacing
supermodel Kate Moss, and during 2006's Fall Fashion Week she traded in
her long dark locks for a short platinum blonde hairstyle reminiscent of
Jean Seberg. Mariacarla is living in New York, and calls it her second
home, coming second after her birthplace of Rome. To date she has
campaigned for such brands as Chanel, Blumarine, Etro, Givenchy, Yves
Saint-Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Boscono was absent from the runways for both Fall/Winter 2007 and
Spring/Summer 2007 seasons. Boscono made her return to the runways in
Paris at the Fall/Winter 2007 Couture collection for the House of Dior.
