Modelling career

edit

Rym Breidy (née Saidi) started her career as a model in 2003 after winning Elite Model Look Tunisia. In 2006, she won the first edition of the Arabic reality show Mission Fashion on LBC TV, under the supervision of the Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab.[3]

In 2007, she signed a modelling contract in Paris, and is currently represented by MP Models.[4] She is also represented by Profile Models in London,[5] Women Direct in Milan,[6] One.1 management in New York City,[7] Munich Models in Germany,[8] and MP Mega in Miami.[9]

In Italy, she appeared in a campaign for WIND with Italian comedian Giorgio Panariello, followed by an appearance as Mother Nature in the TV show Ciao Darwin.[10][11]

Tourism Ambassador For Tunisia

edit

In Tunisia, Breidy has participated in campaigns to help promote the Tunisian tourism industry. She has been the face of the Tunisian travel agency Traveltodo since 2013.[12][13]

2015 controversy

edit

In 2015, her involvement with the company and other tourism campaigns was questioned over comments she made about tourism in Tunisia on a radio station, in which she admitted that she had advised her friends against visiting Tunisia due to the political and security instability of the country, saying that "We couldn't invite people into such unsafe conditions ... We couldn't put the lives of others in jeopardy".[citation needed]

The management of Traveltodo described her remarks as inappropriate, as they undermined the tourist reputation of Tunisia and its international image.[14][15]

Since 2008, Breidy has been living in Milan. She has also been studying economics and mathematics sciences part-time.[16] On July 16, 2017, she married Lebanese television presenter Wissam Breidy in Milan.
