Alessandra
Ambrosio is the model of this generation . Like the
iconic models of the early supermodel era Alessandra
Ambrosio is one of the most recognizable faces in
the world. She
has that special charismatic photogenic look that
only a few supermodels of today have ever had.
Her eyes capture you, drawl you in and tell a story.
It could be the Champs-Élysées in France , a front
row seat at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, or
on the warm sunny beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Her eyes take you there.
Her
bone structure is purely stunning, so defining , edgy,
and yet soft in the right places that it capture lighting
and shadows perfectly. That is what makes her stand
out , what makes her a supermodel. Not to even mention
her 5'10" physique most women would kill to have,
so amazing that just weeks after having her first
child she walked the runways for the Victoria's Secret
fashion show.
Ambrosio
is this generations supermodel, but what got her interested
in modeling was a model from a few supermodel generations
back, fellow Victoria's Secret model Karen Mulder.
When Ambrosio was around 8 years old she saw a photo
of Karen Mulder in a magazine and hoped to one day
be like her.
At
age 12 Ambrosio still had those childhood dreams of
becoming a model, so she enrolled in modeling school.
A few years later she won Brazil's Elite Model Look
contest and that would soon open the door to her dreams
of modeling.
After
winning the prestigious contest Ambrosio landed on
the cover of Brazilian ELLE magazine. The second huge
moment in Ambrosio's early career came in 2000 when
she along with best friend and other Brazilian supermodel
Ana Beatriz Barros were booked for the eye catching
Millennium GUESS? campaign.
When
Ambrosio first left her home in Erechim, Brazil for
New York it was rumored that supermodel Gisele Bündchen
lent Alessandra her apartment for a few weeks and
Adriana Lima help translate English. Rumor or was
that the start of the VS angels Brazilian four supermodel
invasion ?
Well it must of been something in beach waters of
Brazil to produce supermodels, because in that same
year of 2000 the four beauties from Brazil, Alessandra,
Gisele, Adriana, and Ana walked the runway for Ambrosio's
first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
