The top model from Brazil, Adriana Lima, is the new face and “bikini body” in the latest advertising campaign of Calzedonia Summer 2016.

Adriana and her unique sophisticated and sexy style with the must have beachwear trends of Calzedonia were captured by the lens of Russell James in New York.

Taking the baton from Sara Sampaio, Cameron Russell and Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima is now in the crème de la crème of top models associated with advertising and promotion of the brand.

Adriana Francesca Lima

(Salvador, 12 June 1981) supermodel and actress from Brazil. The career of Adriana Lima entirely coincidentally began while accompanying a friend to a beauty contest. When she was 15, she won the title Brazil’s “Ford Supermodel” and immediately after that, the 2nd position in an international beauty contest. Three years later she moved to New York and worked with major fashion magazines such as Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire and GQ. During the last years, she has cat-walked for some of the most influential designers such as Vera Wang, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs.

She also had the opportunity to work with well-known photographers including Mario Testino, Russell James, Steve McCurry and Steven Meisel.

She speaks four languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish and Italian, and when she is asked for her perfect body, the answer is that she owes it to boxing workouts.
