| Adriana Lima was discovered at the age of 13 at a local mall. At the age of 15, she won 1st place in a Ford Supermodel of Brazil model search. Later, she finished 2nd in the 1996 Ford Supermodel of the World contest.
Shortly after, Lima moved to New York City, and eventually moved on from Ford, signing with Elite Model Management. Her early career consisted mostly of fashion editorial work (Vogue and Marie Claire 1997/1998), as well as runway work (Christian Lacroix, Valentino, and others). Lima's first big break came when she was featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square. Lima went on to become a GUESS? Girl in their 2000 Costanoa campaign. Lima then built upon her entry, doing more print work (Maybelline, bebe, Mossimo, BCBG) and gracing the cover and editorials of more high fashion magazines (Harper's Bazaar, ELLE). Probably best known for her Victoria's Secret work and Angel status, Lima first graced the VS runway in 2000, and was the show opener for the 2003 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. In 2001 Adriana Lima starred in BMW Films short, "The Follow" alongside Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, and Forest Whitaker. The film was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, and directed by Wong Kar-Wai. Lima is currently represented by New York's DNA Models.
