Amber Rose is living the quintessential “American Dream” story. Amber is an American model, artist, actress, philanthropist and socialite. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 21, 1983 Amber Rose, is the daughter of a Cape Verdean mother Dorothy Rose and an Irish and Italian father Michael Levonchuck. Amber has always been creative and irreverent since early childhood with her high-fashion sense of style and clothing choices. She has always been an individual who stood out from the rest, which has helped her make her mark as a modern day fashion icon.

 

In 2009, Amber decided to leave her family and life in Philadelphia and make her journey to the big city streets of New York. One afternoon while walking in New York City, shortly after her arrival, a woman named Margo Wainwright from Def Jam Records approached her and asked her if she would like to model, the rest is history. Margo, who loved Amber’s exotic look and fresh sense of style, chose to use her unique beauty and authentic personality in the most elite music videos being filmed to date. These videos catapulted Amber’s career and later that same year helped Amber sign her first modeling contract at the most prestigious modeling agency in the world, Ford Models.

 

Amber Rose has starred and has had leading roles in music videos such as Ludacris’ “What Them Girls Like,” Young Jeezy’s “Vacation,” Nicki Minaj’s “Massive Attack,” Fabolous’ “You Be Killin Em” and Wiz Khalifa’s “No Sleep.” She has graced the pages of many high-end fashion magazines such as Elle, Glamour, BlackBook, Lifestyle Mirror, Star, In-Tatum, The New York Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, The Philadelphia Daily News, Grazia, Vibe, Complex, Gotham and other publications across the globe.

 

The camera has always had a love affair with Amber Rose that soon spread to the rest of the world. She has quickly risen to the elite circles of fashion, has become a sought after socialite, personality and actor. In 2010 Amber did not renew her contract with Ford Models after realizing her own potential to manage her own career and moved into becoming an entrepreneur. With her signature blond shaven head and her love of fashion forward eyewear, Amber has created an unremarkable presence for herself and is constantly requested on the front row by the most exclusive fashion houses during New York, London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks.
