Alexandra Binaris is a South African fashion model.
Early life
Alexandra Binaris is of Greek, Portuguese, Spanish and German descent,[2] and grew up in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.[3][4] Before pursuing modelling professionally, she studied Media, Marketing and Dramatic Arts and later got her post graduate in Advertising and Marketing at the University of Cape Town, graduating Cum Laude on Deans List.[3][5]
Career
Alexandra had been scouted on numerous occasions but always put her studies first. Once graduating, Binaris went to a prominent agency in Cape Town, and she was signed immediately.[3] Within a day, an Elite Model Management scout who was present at the time signed her to Elite worldwide and Society in New York and was sent her to Paris.[6] She debuted as a Louis Vuitton exclusive.[3]
Binaris is deemed one of the most successful and highest paid models from South Africa.[7]
