Myla Dalbesio’s modeling career started at age 16, when she was scouted by a St. Louis agency at a Miss Wisconsin Teen USA pageant, which she won.
Despite earlier challenges due to her curvy body, she moved to New York, broke into the industry in a big way, and is now one of the most sought-after models around. Currently signed by Next Models, she is featured in major fashion and magazine campaigns around the world.
She talks openly about how she sometimes struggles with being a size 10, as she doesn’t quite fall into the straight-size or plus-size model requirements. The capsule collection collaboration between Dalbesio and lingerie brand PrimaDonna is no coincidence, as both are champions for body positivity and natural beauty.
“I want to feel like I can take on the world; that I’m strong, smart and sexy,” Dalbesio said. “I want to feel comfortable and happy in my own skin. And I want to show others that they can be and feel all these things, too.
“That’s why I worked on this collection with PrimaDonna. Because I know what the brand stands for: revealing a woman’s inner beauty with stunning designs that offer the perfect support for larger breasts,” she said.
The collection is brimming with style and attitude, with lots of lace, plunging necklines and street style to add a trendy twist to any wardrobe. When she is not modeling, Dalbesio is a photographer and writes short essays, some of which have been published by major magazines.
