NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ --

Maria Carvalho Model stands out as one of the promising young talents developing through IMC Models Agency, where years of training, runway experience, and professional development at IMC Models Academy have shaped an increasingly strong and versatile fashion portfolio.

The 14-year-old model from Lisbon has transformed her passion for fashion into a steadily growing career through dedication, discipline, and continuous learning. Throughout her years with IMC Models Agency, Maria Carvalho Model has embraced every opportunity to develop her skills, gaining valuable experience across runway shows, editorial productions, fashion events, and professional photoshoots.

Through the professional training, runway opportunities, and industry experience provided by IMC Models Agency, Maria Carvalho Model has built an increasingly diverse portfolio. Her career already includes runway presentations for internationally renowned Spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada on two occasions, Ukrainian fashion brand BY VEL, Portuguese fashion brand Nortada on three occasions, and collections presented by the emerging designers of Escola Profissional do Ave, first as a child model and more recently as a teen model.

Her growing portfolio reflects years of continuous participation in The House of Fashion, together with recognition through the IMC Top Model Influencer 2024 title and victory in the IMC Models Online Influencer Competition 2022.


CONSISTENT GROWTH THROUGH THE HOUSE OF FASHION

One of the defining aspects of Maria Carvalho's journey has been her continuous participation in The House of Fashion, the international fashion platform created by IMC Models Agency under the leadership of CEO Daniel Esteves and Director Joana Silva to discover, develop, and promote emerging talent while connecting models with designers, brands, media, photographers, casting professionals, and fashion industry leaders.

Bringing together more than 200 national and international models, an audience of more than 1,000 seated guests, internationally renowned designers, fashion brands, public figures, media representatives, and Portuguese television coverage, The House of Fashion has established itself as one of Portugal's leading fashion showcases.

The event has also attracted coverage from internationally recognized publications including ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, and L'Officiel, reinforcing its growing reputation within the global fashion industry.

Beyond its runway productions, The House of Fashion has generated more than 2 million Instagram views per edition, significantly expanding its digital reach while connecting designers, brands, models, and fashion professionals with audiences both in Portugal and internationally.

Unlike many young models who participate in only one edition, Maria Carvalho Model has been selected to take part in every edition of The House of Fashion since 2023, reflecting the confidence placed in her profile and the recognition of her continuous evolution within IMC Models Agency.

Her repeated selection highlights not only her versatility and professionalism but also the growing demand for her profile among national and international brands seeking models to represent their collections on the runway. Each participation has strengthened her runway experience, expanded her professional network, and reinforced her position as one of the agency's consistently developing young talents.

Her continued participation has opened doors to work with internationally renowned Spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Ukrainian fashion brand BY VEL, Portuguese fashion brand Nortada, and the collections presented by the emerging designers of Escola Profissional do Ave. Each edition has represented another opportunity to strengthen her portfolio, expand her professional network, and gain valuable insight into the standards and expectations of the fashion industry.

Beyond presenting collections on the runway, Maria Carvalho Model has become one of the familiar faces representing IMC Models Agency across its leading productions and fashion events. Her continued presence reflects the confidence consistently placed in her profile while demonstrating the long-term development philosophy that defines IMC Models Academy.
