Apparel Search has selected Penelope Cruz as a fashion celebrity.
Three fashion roles run through this short record. The actress came first — signed at fifteen, on television at sixteen, acclaimed in Jamón, jamón at seventeen — and built an international career through Open Your Eyes, The Girl of Your Dreams and Woman on Top to the 2001 pair of Vanilla Sky and Blow. The model ran alongside it, with campaigns for Mango, Ralph Lauren and L'Oréal. The designer is the family version of the same work: items designed for Mango together with her younger sister Mónica. Few profiles in this letter hold all three roles at once, which is why the P list gives her the closing position.
