A huge number of women around the world know a brand like Victoria's Secret. Under this brand, the best lingerie is produced. Only the best fashion models are honored to advertise the novelties of the fashion house. In the circle of the brand, and for other designers, the girls who have become the face of the brand are called "angels". They are given the right to start Victoria's Secret shows and participate in various charity events on behalf of the company. One of the "angels" of the fashion house is Isabeli Fontana. This girl has a height of 177 cm and a weight of 57 kg. Her parameters are almost perfect by world standards: the hips are 90 cm, the waist is 60 cm and the chest is 86 cm. Her unusual name is not always immediately and easily remembered. Therefore, many Slavs know this sultry beauty as "model Isabella Fontana".
French luck
The blue-eyed nymph was born on July 4, 1983 in Brazil, in a town called Curitiba. At the age of thirteen, IsabelleFontana goes to France. There she accidentally enters the International Model Competition called Elite Model Look. Her bright appearance, amazing combination of blue eyes, dark hair and swarthy skin did not leave the judges indifferent, and the girl goes to the final. After long battles, Isabeli takes an honorable third place in the competition. Immediately after the announcement of the results, the girl receives a huge number of offers of cooperation from various agencies and magazines. And now, in 1997, Isabeli Fontana moved from Brazil to Milan, where her career as a model began.
Noise around
The girl signs her first solid contract with Victoria's Secret when she is only sixteen years old. And in 1999, photos of the rising star of the catwalks appear on the pages of a glossy catalog with lingerie. This causes an unheard-of excitement: after all, according to the principles of the company, only girls older than twenty-one years old are removed for new collections, and here is a very young person. The answer of Victoria's Secret management followed immediately: “The Brazilian model is a prime example of unprecedented diligence and perseverance. For this she was rewarded. Consider that the photo of Isabela Fontana on the pages of the catalog is a hint to other beauties that you can achieve what you want very quickly.”
Rising Star
Victoria's Secret Fashion House laid the first "brick" in the foundation of the bright beauty's future career. Following this brand, Isabeli Fontana began to flicker oncovers of various publications (Harper's Bazaar, ID, Vogue, ELLE, etc.), advertising new items from Versace, Valentino, Tommy Hilfiger, Arena, Triton, Vivara and others. In addition to glossy pages, the model also appears on the shows of famous couturiers. The French maestro himself - Jean-Paul Gaultier - invites a Brazilian fashion model to show his new collection on the European catwalk. Then Givenchy Fashion House joins him.
Successfully moving forward
In 2004, Isabeli Fontana becomes the face of the Hermes brand. After some time, she is invited to participate in a project dedicated to the Balenciaga brand. Together with her on the same set there are Jema Ward and Liya Kebede. The epic photo shoot needs epic photographers, including David Sims, Richard Avedon and Steven Meisel.
In the same 2004, the famous House of Versace invites Fontana (Isabeli Fontana) to advertise their new fragrance called Crystal Noir. After a couple of years, the girl releases her own perfume. She was greatly assisted in this by Revlon Flair, with which the model signed a contract in 2006.
The following year, she again flashes on the covers of Vogue and Elle. It is noteworthy that in her homeland, Isabeli appeared on the pages of the tabloids more than fifty times.

Private life
In a few weeks, the sultry beauty will be thirty years old. She is successful, rich, young and very beautiful. Unlike her career, her personal life cannot be called absolutely happy. The first time Isabeli married her colleague - fashion model Alvaro Giacomossi. From him she bore a son, Zion. However, the couple soon broke up. Deciding to try to catch the bird of happiness by the tail for the second time, in 2005 Fontana married actor Henry Castelli. In marriage, a son, Lucas, is born. The couple divorced in 2007.
