With Gisele Bundchen absent from the Rio de Janeiro catwalk this season, many journalists and fashionistas have been asking themselves who the new face of Fashion Rio 2008 is.
Supermodel Isabeli Fontana has been heralded as one of the models to watch. She opened the show for Salinas swimwear collection, showed Cavendish, and Catao among others.
Fashion Rio coordinator and organiser Eloysa Simao said Fontana looks “better than ever."
The Curitiba native, who made her return to the Rio runway after the birth of her second child and a long hiatus, has been featured in the magazines, Sports Illustrated, Elle, and Marie Claire. On top of that Fontana has graced the pages of Victoria’s Secret catalogue for the last ten years.
But the “it" girl of the season seems to be 19-year-old Emanuela de Paula, who “Tudo de Bom!" magazine called the “new star."
The Northeastern native from Pernambuco state, who is also a Victoria’s Secret “angel," modelled exclusively for swim wear brand Salinas this season.
