More Than Meets the Eye...

Her notoriety began when John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier used her luscious curves to round out their runway spring collections in 2006.

The forty year old going on twenty-five was born and raised in the States but has lived in Paris, France since 1996.

Besides modeling this multi-talented woman is also a photographer, dancer, actress and god parent.

Playing devil's advocate, I asked Velvet if she considers herself healthy. She replied, "While I have often answered this question, I am admittedly perturbed by it. By virtue of being plus size I am thusly expected to tout my health, yet my smaller counterparts, be it in contemporary dance, or film, or in fashion, are never asked the state of their health. I do not drink alcohol and I never have, I do not take drugs and I never have, I do not smoke and I never have, yet many of these same counterparts do one, or a combination of all of the above, and yet merely by virtue of weighing less then I, are completely excluded from this patronizing question."

Moving Pictures 

A starlet in the making...

In 2006, Velvet d'Amour appeared in her first feature length black and white French film titled Avida.

It is a dark comedy about the kidnapping of a fat woman (named Avida) billionaire's dog by three thugs but she turns the situation around in her favor.

Avida was written and directed by Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern. Read a great review of it by New York Cool when they attended the Tribeca Film Festival.

Great news! Avida is now available in North America. It can be ordered from Amazon for $23.99. The unfortunate thing is they are using a different cover art than the original shown here.
