Career
A regular in the Spanish runways, Alonso didn’t make the jump internationally until she finished her studies. Once completing her studies she coincided with John Pfeiffer, a prestigious casting director for prominent shows, thereafter jobs abroad filled her agenda. In Florence, June 2008, Diane von Furstenberg hired Alonso for her “Cruise 2008-09” collection and months later was called to New York for the spring-summer 2009 fashion shows. While in the Big Apple, she also had the opportunity to work for Custo Barcelona. At 21 Alonso became Spain’s new top model, chosen to be in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show 2008 held in Miami, a historic landmark, since only two Spaniards, Esther Cañadas in 1997, and Eugenia Silva in 1998 and 1999, managed to participate in the VS fashion show.
