AOC tries not to identify Valentina as a transgender model at every turn. And we do believe there’s some major hype in the title of her Vogue Scandi interview. But Sampaio is certainly advancing her career with high profile alliances, including continuing on with Victoria’s Secret, when Razek got the boot. Armani is a real feather in Valentina’s cap.

Ironically, it was VS exec Ed Razek’s rejection of Valentina Sampaio that was the final link in the Victoria’s Secret public outrage coffin.
