In the world of top supermodels there is those three
famous Brazilian faces Adriana, Alessandra and Gisele.
Ask any supermodel fan or model-nista to name a few
supermodels and Adriana Lima will always be mentioned.
Adriana
Lima's story takes place as a young girl from Salvador,
Bahia, Brazil that like many supermodels she never considered
becoming a model. In her teens she entered and finished
in first place in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" model
search. Then a year later she placed 2nd in Ford "Supermodel
of the World" contest.
Adriana's
exotic Brazilian looks and sexy look started to get
notice in the modeling world. Three years after having
place so close to winning Supermodel of the World, at
the young age of 16 she moved to New York city and signed
with the prestigious Elite Model Management agency.
Her
modeling popularity soon began to take off as many designers
wanted the Brazilian beauty look in their clothes and
ads.
She
starting landing modeling jobs for several designers
but it was her eye catching high contrast ad campaigns
for Guess that made her stand out. The Guess ads showed
a supermodel in the making, with those same Guess girl
qualities that also help launch Claudia Schiffer. In
2000 Lima became a Guess Girl and appeared in the book
A Second Decade of Guess?
She
then went on to become the it-girl model that all designers
desired on their runway shows. Lima was soon walking
the catwalk for all the great designers such as Giorgio
Armani, Valentino, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Fendi,
and Ralph Lauren.
Her
angel face landed her cosmetics contract in 2003 when
she became a Maybelline spokes model. Her campaigns
and editorial work continued accumulate when she went
on to be the face of Versace, Mossimo and so on.
From
catwalks to covers she started to appear on every major
fashion magazine cover from Vogue to ELLE. It was Lima
that helped keep supermodel term fresh, something missing
after the 80's supermodel era.
Adriana has done so much in her modeling career since
she began modeling at 16 years old. However, the thing
that most people know her by is being a famed Victoria's
Secret angel. She was signed as a VS angel in 2000 and
has been part of the extremely popular Victoria's Secret
Fashion Show for the past fourteen years. She shares
the angel spotlight with a handful gorgeous girls, yet
Adriana is still one of the most recognizable angels.
She is one sexy supermodel with those exotic looks and
mystical eyes. Yet, she has the heart of a true angel,
with her catholic beliefs, and charitable work helping
children and orphanages.
Adriana
Lima a true supermodel angel.
