Alison Stephens was born on May 10, 1991, in San Clemente, California. After stops in Indiana, Florida and Ohio, she eventually settled in Salt Lake City. The fashion world wasn't high on her priority list, but an eventful shopping trip in 2007 led to her "discovery" (the same way Gisele Bundchen was discovered) by a representative of fashion agency Pulse Management.
Five months later, Ali Stephens had submitted pictures to Elite Model Management in New York, the same agency that represents Coco Rocha, and they gave her a contract. Her runway debut came in September as a Prada model in Milan. The powers of the industry liked what they saw and, within a month, Stephens had starred as an opener for Chloe and was a featured runway model for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Nina Ricci, and Miu Miu. By the end of the year, Ali Stephens was fast becoming a name, and that was further enhanced by feature recognition from Hintmag.com, Pop and Style.com, who all coined her as a rising talent. Vmagazine.com got into the mix in December of 2007 by naming her as Spring 2008's No. 2 model.
