Alex, the son of millionaire property owner Guy Dellal, has been spotted on a romantic holiday in Brazil with model Elisa Sednaoui.

The exotic brunette, who has been hailed as 'fashion's new It Girl' and has recently shot campaigns for Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani and Roberto Cavalli. Says Italian fashion maestro Roberto of his muse: “Elisa is self-confident and she has an amazing personality. "She has got this animal side, she is enthusiastic, really sexy with a stunning body and hypnotic eyes. "She is the woman every woman would like to be, so she is the real Cavalli woman.”

Vogue loves her because she's "a free soul: well-read, sensitive, cosmopolitan. With a penchant for Louboutins" – and for good reason – Christian Louboutin, the shoe king, is her godfather.
