and former supermodel. She is the step daughter of industrialist
and classical composer Alberto Bruni Tedeschi and Italian concert
pianist Marysa Borini. Actress Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is her sister.
Maurizio Remmert, a businessman, has claimed to be her biological
father.
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France confirmed
on January 8, 2008, that he is in a "serious" relationship
with Carla Bruni, and that he intends to marry her at an unspecified
date]. She would
then become First Lady of France.
Born in Turin, Carla Bruni grew up in France from
the age of five and later attended boarding school in Switzerland.
She
eventually
returned
to Paris to study art and architecture, but left school at 19 to
become a model full-time. Her mother and father were musicians and
they inspired her to become a musician also.
Heiress to Italian tyre manufacturing Ceat fortune,
Carla Bruni signed with City Models at age 19 and her career began.
Paul Marciano,
president and creative director of Guess? Inc., came across her
picture among a stack of composite cards of aspiring models and
chose her to model with Estelle Hallyday in ad campaigns for Guess?
jeans. Bruni subsequently worked for a number of designers and
fashion houses, such as Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne, Sonia Rykiel,
Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Yves Saint-Laurent,
Chanel, Versace, and others. By the 1990s, Bruni was among the
20 highest-paid fashion models, earning $7.5 million a year. While
modeling, Bruni dated Charles Berling, Vincent Perez, Louis Bertignac,
Arno Klarsfeld, Laurent Fabius,Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger, Donald
Trump and Kevin Costner.
In 1997, Bruni quit the world of fashion, to devote
herself to music. She sent her lyrics to Julien Clerc in 1999, based
on which he composed
seven tracks on his 2000 album Si j'étais elle.
In 2002, her debut album Quelqu'un m'a dit,
produced by ex lover Louis Bertignac, was released in Europe to
great success. Three
songs from the album appear in Hans Canosa's 2005 American film Conversations
with Other Women. The song "Le plus beau du quartier" was
used in H&M's Christmas 2006 commercial.
In 2006, Bruni recorded "Those Little Things" an English-language
translation of the Serge Gainsbourg song "Ces Petits Riens",
for the tribute album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. She participated
in the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics, in a parade
section paying tribute to the Italian flag.
