Siri Tollerød (born 18 August 1987) is a Norwegian model.[2]

Early life

Tollerød started school at age 7. She was always active outside of school and enjoyed various sports. She has one younger sister named Susanne.[3]

She was discovered by scout Donna Ioanna while Christmas shopping at H&M in Sørlandssenteret shopping mall. Tollerød went to Milan, Italy in September 2006 to dabble in modeling for a summer. She soon returned home to earn her high school diploma. Immediately upon graduating, she signed with Trump Models and was asked to shoot for Vogue Italia.[4]

She moved to New York City in April 2007 to pursue full-time modeling and, within that first year, she was featured in a DKNY campaign, opened and closed the spring D&G shows, was on the cover of 10, and shot Prada Sport with Steven Meisel. In October 2009, Tollerød switched agencies from Trump to DNA Model Management.[5]

Her covers include various international editions of Vogue, French Revue de Modes, Elle and other magazines.[6] She has appeared in editorials for Dazed & Confused, Numéro, V, Harpers Bazaar, W, Allure, Elle, and various international editions of Vogue.[6]

She has modelled for Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Lacroix, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Chanel and Prada.[6] A favourite of Karl Lagerfeld, Tollerød is a fixture on Chanel's runways,[7] and opened both the Fall 2008 RTW[8] and Pre-Fall 2008[9] shows.

She has been featured in advertising campaigns for Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, DKNY, GAP, John Galliano, Max Mara, Miu Miu, PradaSportmax, Valentino and White House Black Market.[6] Tollerød was the face of Valentino's Rock 'n Dreams fragrance, and Gwen Stefani's World of Harajuku Lovers fragrance.[6] In Brazil she has been the face of many Victor Hugo campaigns.
