Born and raised in a small Belgian
town, Ingrid Seynhaeve never dreamed of becoming a model. When Ingrid was
16, her mother noticed her daughter's increasing interest in young men and
their increasing interest in her daughter. In hopes of reducing the
attention of these admirers so Ingrid would focus on school, her mother
escorted her to the hairdresser to cut her long blonde hair short. While
at the salon, an agent spotted her before the first cut was made and cast
her in a hair product campaign. Soon after, she signed with an agency in
Brussels and two years later moved to New York as Belgium's representative
for Elite's Look of the Year contest.
After winning the prestigious Look of the Year, Ingrid’s beautiful face
and sexy body captivated the attention of millions of people as she found
herself gracing the pages of one of the most highly anticipated magazines
of the year, the 1995 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar, which included
her own poster.
Still represented by Elite Model Management, Ingrid has appeared in
magazines and commercials throughout the world, and is a recurring runway
model for many of the top designers. In 1995, she landed the coveted
GUESS? campaign, shot by Dewey Nicks in Hawaii, garnering attention around
the world. She is a regular in the campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Buffalo
Jeans. In addition, she regularly graces the pages of the Victoria's
Secret catalog.
Ingrid divides her time between New York and Paris, which gives her ample
time to speak five languages in which she is fluent, and to visit her
family and horse in Belgium. When not working, she enjoys rollerblading,
playing the piano and shopping. |
