those new to the site, my philosophy on exactly what constitutes
'high quality' is found here.

Like her Brazilian counterparts Gisele
Bundchen and Ana Beatriz Barros, Adriana hails from a
small town, a far cry from the glamorous life she inhabits
today. Her climb from obscurity to glam girl occurred after
placing second in the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest
(after having won the 1996 Ford Supermodel of Brazil Contest).
Adriana signed with Elite Model Management
at the age of 16, and moved to one of the fashion centers
of the world, New York. Once there, her modeling portfolio
only began to expand exponentially, after appearing in Vogue
(Italy) in 1997, as well as Vogue (UK), I-D (UK), Marie Claire
(Brazil), and Vogue (Italy) in 1998. Adriana has also appeared
in Vogue (US, Germany, UK), and Marie Claire (Italy) all in
1999. As for fashion shows, the Vogue girl has walked down
the runway for the following designers: Cynthia Rowley, Vera
Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Betsey Johnson, Girls
Rule, Richard Tyler, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Fendi,
Randolph Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, just to name a
few.
One of Adriana's most notable catwalk appearances
was in the Victoria's Secret Summer 2000 Swimwear Catalogue
(shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the spotlight
with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi
Klum and Laetitia Casta.
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing Adriana in a magazine fashion spread may have caught
her in advertisements for Anna Sui Jeans, Bebe (actress Rose
McGowan also poses for the fashion brand name), Gasoline,
Mossimo, Victoria's Secret, BCBG, Keds, XOXO, and Guess?.
Before her modeling days, Adriana always hoped
to help children, and thanks to her new found popularity,
she is able to work with orphans in Brazil. Whether you have
seen her in an ad, on the runway, or photographed by some
of the world's greatest photographers -- such as Steven Meisel,
Peter Lindbergh or Ellen von Unwerth -- Adriana's beauty speaks
volumes.
