Ellie Aguilar, an experienced international model that has worked on multiple areas of the fashion industry: Swimsuit modeling, talent competitions, TV commercials, fashion catalogs, calendars, and designer shows, has created BRAG! Models.

Growing up in the tropical Republic of Panama Ellie watched her grandmother create dresses for her. Modeling those dresses made with so much love and care marked the beginning of Ellie's love affair with fashion. As a teenager she participated in school sponsored fashion events and pageants that fostered fund raisers for youth programs. She watched how those fund raisers clearly gave the opportunity to some families to afford to send their children to school. Shortly after graduating High School at 16, Ellie moved to Connecticut to reside with her father and further her education. It was there that she began to receive a lot of encouragement from friends and relatives to try out for modeling. She was recruited by an agency and started to work on local events for fund raisers as well as in NYC and on location shoots that took her to other countries. She moved to Virginia in 1998 and immediately started to find out who were the fashionistas in DC to work with to continue her love for fashion.

Ellie believes that it is everyone's responsibility to help those in need with the talents you have received and with the passion you feel towards your trade. She is grateful for the trajectory she has had in fashion and there is no better way than to give back. Supporting local charities while continuing to bring the latest in the fashion world will remain her focus with BRAG! Models.
