Nomi Fernandes is a former showgirl and now glamour model of mixed ethnicity. She has a Venezuelan and Portuguese background from her mother and a Swiss and South African background from her father.

Fernandes was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland.

Fernandes began her career in 2006 after her very first photoshoot. She landed on the cover of a popular American fitness magazine. In 2007 she became a centerfold for Playboy. In April 2008, Playboy chose her to be their Playmate of The Month. She was also on the cover of the Czech Playboy in April 2008. In July 2009, she graced the second cover of Playboy, this time the Romania edition. That means Nomi is a two-time Playboy cover model for two different countries, both produced independently.

About two years ago[when?], Fernandes moved partly to Los Angeles in order to pursue her modeling and dancing career and is still working in the United States and Europe at the moment.[when?]

She started her own agency for glamour models called BabesManagement in March 2009. The agency is an institution representing professional glamour models for editorials, advertising, internet, conventions, commercials, TV and films.
