Early life

Binaris is of Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and French descent,[2] and grew up in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal.[3][4] Before pursuing modelling professionally, she studied arts and media at the University of Cape Town, graduating with honours in 2016.[3][5]

Career

On a hunch, Binaris went to the Boss Models agency in Cape Town, and she was signed immediately.[3] Within a day, an Elite Model Management scout who was present at the time signed her to Elite worldwide and sent her to Paris.[6] She debuted as a Louis Vuitton exclusive.[3]

She has walked for Chanel,[3] Carolina Herrera,[3] Elie Saab, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Giambattista Valli, Prabal Gurung, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jill Stuart, Miu Miu, Hermès, Blumarine, Intimissimi, and Emilio Pucci. She has appeared in editorials for Harper's Bazaar (US, Mexico, Romania, and Kazakhstan; the latter two of which she appeared on the cover), Elle (South Africa and Japan), Glamour South Africa Marie Claire South Africa, CR Fashion Book, L'Officiel Indonesia, Vogue Japan, Vogue Arabia, and T.[4]
