Amanda Wellsh

Amanda Wellsh (born 1991) is a Brazilian model. Wellsh has appeared in advertorial campaigns for Gucci and has walked the runway for a number of international brands including Chanel, DKNY, Prada and Givenchy. Biography

Wellsh grew up in Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as the daughter of a lawyer and a biology teacher. As a child, she took swimming classes to stay active, after falling in love with the sea on a family trip. Wellsh found her start in modelling after her sister enrolled Amanda in a modelling workshop. There, she was scouted by an agent from São Paulo and asked to move to the city at age 15. Wellsh would have her big break later that year, when she was chosen by Frida Giannini to open and close Gucci's runway presentation for S/S 2014 in Milan. Wellsh would go on to appear in Gucci's S/S 2014 advertorial campaign. Her participation in the campaign led to her walking in a number of campaigns for AW 2015, including Givenchy, Chanel, Prada and Alexander Wang.

In 2015, she was named French Vogue's Model of the Year for 2014.

Personal life At the time of her international debut at age 24, Wellsh was balancing her time as a model based in New York alongside being a mother to a young son, Pedro, who was living in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Six years after the birth of her son, in January 2019, Wellsh covered Madame Figaro visibly pregnant. In July 2019, Wellsh appeared inside Vogue Brazil with her daughter Amélie, from her home in Homestead, Florida.
