NUMÉRO RUSSIA #55: Adriana Lima (1)

Adriana Lima has had a long career modeling. In the "Superwoman" editorial for Numero Russia (#55) issued in the fall season of 2019, the Brazilian goddess showcases her mature ability to be lensed tastefully while also relating a message about female empowerment. The world is going through a tremendous social change right now. Gender roles are being re-evaluated and equality is being demanded by women who have been shut out of many opportunities due to the prevailing gender bias that has been seen in every country and in every culture throughout the world. Women are often treated as if they are intellectually inferior and find it difficult to land the more distinctive decision-making roles that they so often seek when qualified. Women have been subjectified and limited to roles that only applaud their beauty instead of roles that commend their intellect.


Having both beauty and intellect can cause much grief for a supermodel wanting to play a role that embraces also her intangible traits. In this strong and sexy feature, Adriana Lima is photographed by George Livieratos while currently being represented by Elite Modeling Agency of Paris. She is draped in designs by Balenciaga, Roberto Cavalli and Fendi wearing a nice assortment of bold and upscale statement jewelry pieces.

NUMÉRO RUSSIA #55: Adriana Lima (2)

Adriana Lima loves the sport of boxing for women and has been featured quite often in various editorials throughout the years as such an athlete. She has advertised with the Victoria's Secret sports line of clothing using the boxing theme. In real life, she trains by incorporating boxing into her workout routine. It seems that to her, the physical strength of a woman if developed can be used forcefully for adequate self-protection. Well, at least that is how this particular editorial with Numero Russia in combination with the accompanying video editorial of the photoshoot comes across to me as a viewer of such admirable female strength. The detailing of the chains symbolizes a new era of women breaking free from male dominance and oppression. The white leather jacket that she wears by Fendi stands out to me as a spectacular wardrobe addition with the lattice cutout detailing.

GQ (Portugal) NOV 2015: Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow has been hot on the scene ever since she got discovered from actively posting her pictures on Instagram. In 2015, she was honored with not just being featured in the GQ Portugal magazine in a beautiful photo spread, but she was designated as the "Role Model of the Year." Overcoming her skin condition and believing in her unique beauty has propelled her into a level of stardom that for many aspiring models is so very hard to achieve. The Canadian beauty with Jamaican ancestry poses elegantly and exudes such an inner confidence that translates so well in photos.


Becoming a successful model is not easy, so we all commend the great success that Winnie Harlow achieved then, now and for a long time into the future. The fashion industry's embrace of such beauty diversity speaks volumes about hope and promise. And, yes ... for you fashion enthusiasts, she is decked down in Christian Dior from the 2015 Fall Collection. Beautifully photographed by Branislav Šimončík and cleverly styled by Jan Králíček.

GQ (South Africa) JAN 2018: Jasmine Tookes

Jasmine Tookes (Agency: IMG Models) is the cover model for GQ South Africa's January 2018 issue! Lovely cover with brilliant accompanying editorials. Cleverly lensed by photographer Bryce Thompson and fashionably styled by Nick Nelson in lace, leather and sheer mesh.

Her career exploded after she was granted the title of Victoria's Secret Angel and adorned on the 2016 runway with the "Bright Night" Fantasy Bra. She has graced the covers of Vogue, Elle, Maxim and many other magazines. She has walked the runway of many prestigous design houses. I especially loved seeing her walk the 2016 Spring/Summer Tommy Hilfiger Runway. She has landed many advertising campaigns including Lancome Cosmetics.



Angel Jasmine Tookes is an American beauty with a lovely, fresh look combined with an alluring sultry aura. Right now, her career is sizzling hot. Can't wait to see how her modeling ventures will continue to blossom into the new year!
