[edit] Biography

Danella Lucioni moved to South Pasadena, California with her family when she was 15 years old. She was scouted by several modeling agencies in her teens, both while living in Los Angeles and in Italy, but she was not interested in a modeling career. While in college, Lucioni decided to give modeling a try and started modeling for friend photographers and friends who were in make up school. On December 2006 she walked into fashion modeling agency UberWarning in Beverly Hills, California and that same day signed with them as a runway and fashion model [1].

In June 2007 Lucioni met Linda Teglovic, founder of Body Parts Models (located in Beverly Hills, California), and later signed a contract as a leg model and body double. Through BPM she was interviewed by E! Entertainment.

In October 2007, UberWarning models was dissolved and Lucioni ended her contract with them [2].

In November 2007, Lucioni decided to quit modeling and pursue her career in the advertising industry. She had just finished her Bachelor's degree and was interning for world renowned advertising agency TBWA\Chiat\Day in Los Angeles at the time.

In January 2007 Lucioni was approached by major modeling agency Otto Models in Hollywood, California, and decided to get back into modeling. She is currently signed with Otto Models [3].
