Early life

Cameron Russell was born in Boston, and raised in Cambridge, as the eldest child of Zipcar co-founder and Goloco.org CEO Robin Chase and Goloco Chief Technology Officer Roy Russell. Russell displayed an interest in politics at an early age, and friends who had worked on the Clinton Presidential election campaign arranged a meeting on June 5, 1998 (when she was 10) with Bill Clinton after he delivered a speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His advice to her was to stay in school, get to know as many different types of people as she could, and to understand their dreams and aspirations. She graduated from the Commonwealth School in 2005.

Modeling career

Russell's mother had a friend who worked at Ford Models agency, and Russell decided to sign with that agency in 2004. She later moved on to DNA Model Management in 2006, and is currently represented by Women Management with whom she signed in 2008.¹

Since beginning her modeling career part-time at the age of 16, Russell has worked with numerous successful photographers including Steven Meisel, Craig McDean, and Nick Knight among others, in such magazines as Vogue, Paris Vogue, Vogue Italia, W, Self Service and Numéro.¹ She has featured in advertising campaigns for companies including Calvin Klein, Armani, Oscar de la Renta, and Yves Saint Laurent.¹

Russell has featured in runway fashion shows for designers including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren, and Diane von Fürstenberg.²

Personal life

Russell is a vegetarian and currently lives in Manhattan. Although majoring in economics and mathematics at Columbia University, she is an aspiring fiction writer³ and maintains the blog "Funny and Interesting."

In 2009 she started a non-profit called Interview New York, with the purpose of conducting video interviews with all New Yorkers, asking them to answer 3 questions:

What are you proud of?

What are you afraid of?

What gives you hope?

Her younger sister Linnea Russell is featured with her in the newly re-launched Ck One fragrance advertising campaign. Russell is an avid cyclist,³ and ran the Boston marathon in 2007 as an unregistered "bandit."
