| Biography of Astrid Munoz |
Even when rain and lightning cancel a planned day at the beach, sun-worshiping model Astrid Munoz can’t help but heat up the indoor atmosphere of a bungalow hideaway by several degrees. Such mercury-elevating ability is probably due to all the tropical rays she braved while growing up in her native San Juan, Puerto Rico. Even so, Astrid began dreaming of a different life beyond her lush island home at an early age.
While visiting a friend in Miami, Astrid, then 19, met yet another modeling agent, who immediately suggested that she pursue a career in France. This time she didn’t let anything stand in the way of her dream. “I was one of the first Latin models to break through in Paris,” she says proudly. After working primarily in Europe for several years, Astrid relocated to New York about a year ago.
Many high-fashion campaigns have followed, but Astrid seems to be able to make room in her busy schedule for the occasional swimsuit shoot. Astrid is decidedly more enthusiastic about warmer climates, whether she’s visiting them for business or purely for pleasure. That must be quite a sight, considering Astrid’s intriguing choice of beachwear. This admirable spirit of beach minimalism extends to Astrid’s list of shipwreck essentials. |
