Maia Cabral is a professional model and Fashion Designer from Argentina, Chaco. She came from a small town to the big Apple, New York City. She is a self-made career woman in the fashion industry and I moved to NYC to follow her modeling dream, without the aid of an agent, friends, family or other support. She began working as a model in NYC using social media and obtaining gigs while traveling extensively. She chose to make her second home in Miami. She has worked for many well know clients such as Cinemax, Playboy, Vogue, Interview Magazine, L'Oreal, Mac cosmetics and many others. She considers herself a creative person and started creating her own looks and clothes for her photoshoots. In the end she ended up creating Swimwear, lingerie and tops. Most of her swimwear designs are inspired by the bondage scene, as she shot with a bondage artist a few years ago. She has included some classic and elegant designs in her collections, as well. Now she owns Swimwear and Ready to Wear lines. She is currently based in NYC and travels to Miami every two months to shoot her new designs. She still works as a model and full time Swimwear designer. After a few years in New York City, she has settled down in New York City and has put down some roots.
