alessia nitalia alves (born september 4th, 1997) is an american fashion model and television personality. alessia first came to public attention for appearing in the bravo reality television show house of alves. alessia is part of an emerging fashion movement which has been dubbed “social media modeling” by harper’s bazaar and “the instagirl era” by vogue. ___________________________ house of alves is an american reality television series that has aired on bravo since 2007. the show is currently in its tenth season and focuses on the personal and professional lives of the alves family. the show has received poor reviews from critics since its premiere. it has often been criticized for emphasizing the “famous for being famous” concept and for appearing the fabricate aspects of its story lines. victoria alves, 54, television personality, producer, manager alexander alves, deceased rafael alves, 30, television personality sofia alves, 28, television & social media personality, actress, socialite josefina alves, 19, television personality, singer ___________________________ On the first cool day of Fall, Alessia Alves was sitting at a table in the back of Two Hands, a cafe near her apartment in downtown Manhattan. She was wearing white jeans and a white leather jacket; her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and her face was freshly scrubbed with no trace of makeup. Even dressed down with no make up, the youngest Alves looked exotic. Alves is a rarity; a model who appeals to the fashion elite but attracts equal attention in the world of mainstream brands. Unlike models of recent past though, Alves is a personality and not just a photogenic mannequin. With the potent combination of family lineage, social media influence, and sex appeal, Alves and her fellow new-generation models should be called the It-stagram Girls: they are instant celebrities who built their fame online. I am struck by the realization that we actually know very little about this super famous 18 year old, whose every move is documented by paparazzi and social media. What’s remarkable is that she seems to both reveal and conceal herself to her 10 million plus Instagram followers, which is of course a way to hold the public’s interest and keep us coming back. I feel like I have seen a million images of her face and body, but I have no idea what she is thinking. However, nothing about Alves in person suggests she is remotely calculating. She is sweet, accommodating, polite, and professional. Her voice is soft, and she has a vulnerable and childlike quality. .. read more at  www.harpersbazaar.com OFF LIMIT QUESTION LIST Any question regarding the death of father, Alexander Alves.
