Her natural poise, striking features, and professionalism quickly made her a sought-after model in both high-fashion and commercial modeling.
From a young age, modeling captured Alecia’s imagination. She spent countless hours reading fashion magazines and dreaming of one day becoming a model featured on their glossy pages. That dream began turning into reality in 2012 when she won the Elite Model Look Cape Verde competition and went on to place among the Top 15 finalists at the World Finals of Elite Model Look.
Determined to pursue modeling internationally, Alecia gave her absolute best during the competition. The event connected her with influential scouts and top model agencies, giving her the opportunity to begin working in the fashion capital of Paris. For many aspiring models, Elite Model Look has been a gateway into professional modeling, and for Alecia Morais it marked the beginning of a remarkable career.
Alecia’s runway portfolio quickly expanded. In 2013 she appeared in Spring/Summer runway shows for designers and brands including Moncler, Vivienne Westwood, Ground Zero, Christian Wijnants, Louis Vuitton, and Dries Van Noten. Walking for such established fashion houses so early in her career demonstrated her potential and strengthened her reputation within leading model agencies and fashion circles.
In 2014 she continued to build momentum in the modeling industry, walking Fall/Winter shows for Agnès B and appearing in Spring presentations for brands such as Daks and Nicholas K. Her growing list of runway appearances placed her firmly among emerging international models who were shaping contemporary fashion.
In the years that followed, Alecia further solidified her position within the industry. She walked couture for La Perla and appeared in presentations and shows for major brands including Tom Ford and Calvin Klein. Sharing runways with some of the most recognized models in fashion helped strengthen her standing among elite model agencies worldwide.

In 2019 she was photographed by Karen Collins for the editorial “Soft Power” in Elle UK’s September issue, an editorial that highlighted her refined presence in front of the camera.
That same year she worked on editorial projects for S Moda by El País and appeared in campaigns including Aisling Camps Spring 2019. These projects demonstrated her versatility as a model capable of moving seamlessly between commercial campaigns and high-fashion editorials.
Alecia Morais represents the modern international model—professional, versatile, and globally minded. Fluent in both English and Portuguese, she brings cultural adaptability to the global modeling industry. While modeling remains her main profession, she also values maintaining personal interests such as dancing, exercising, and spending time with friends.
