My Take

Emanuela de Paula represents the long, unlikely climb that fashion rarely shows you. Born in Cabo de Santo Agostinho in Brazil's Pernambuco state, she became the face of Next, appeared in the 2009 Pirelli Calendar, and fronted campaigns across Europe. What interests me is not the runway glamour but the distance traveled to get there, from a coastal Brazilian town to the front rank of international modeling. That kind of trajectory takes more than a striking 175 cm frame; it takes durability and nerve. I respect models who turn a brutally fickle industry into a lasting career, and she clearly did.

Overview

Emanuela de Paula (born 25 April 1989) is a Brazilian model. She has been the face of UK retailer Next for the past two seasons and can be seen in the 2009 Pirelli Calendar. She has also replaced Pernille Holmboe as the new model for the Swedish clothing store Gina Tricot.
