Source text - English From Rio to the runway, when it comes to Victoria’s Secret, there’s a lot of Latina blood in the brand’s DNA. Brazilian-born Gisele Bündchen earned her wings as an original angel in 1999 alongside Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio – and there’s been a carnival spirit on the catwalk ever since. While the runway saw Puerto Rican Joan Smalls take flight for six years from 2011, the flag’s mostly been flying for Brazil – with Lais Ribeiro and Barbara Fialho heading up the latest Latina reign.

Working with world-class technicians, the designer aims to challenge the definition of knitting by exploiting the potentials of advanced machines, applying state-of-art techniques and using unconventional yarns.
