Adriana Lima

This fall, Adriana Lima will be the face everyone will recognize. Starring in GUESS?' Fall 2000 ad campaign shot by Pablo Alfaro in Northern California, she appears along side of a group of other young new faces. She will be featured on the sides of buses, phone booths, bus shelters, billboards and in international magazine ads for GUESS?. Her images will also appear in the nearly 100 GUESS? retail stores in the US, in GUESS? Shops in almost every major department store, not to mention on guess.com and in the GUESS? Journal, the company's own magazine. That's a lot of exposure for just an eighteen year old. Well, this isn't just any 18 year old, she's the newest face of GUESS?.

Born in the north of Brazil 18 years ago with mesmerizing blue grey eyes and chocolate brown hair, her beauty is an eclectic mix of her French, Portuguese, Native-American and Caribbean heritage. After being asked to model consistently while in school, Adriana decided to take the plunge and join Elite Model Management at 16. She quickly moved to New York where she perfected her craft working with the world's greatest image makers including: Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh and Ellen von Unwerth. She has appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and on the runway for many top designers.

She has recently been profiled on E! Entertainment TV, Extra!, The Travel Channel, Viva and Whipple's World. As a child, Adriana dreamed of helping children and she is now using her celebrity to work with orphanages in her homeland - Brazil.

At the tender age of 18, Adriana has already attained star status within the modeling industry and the future looks very bright for this remarkable model. Adriana seems to have it all: a gorgeous face, a great attitude, a loving family and a driving ambition.
