Adriana Lima | Victoria's Secret Angel in Venice Perhaps?

Adriana Lima | Victoria's Secret Angel in Venice Perhaps?

A truly gorgeous set of Brazilian Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima have surfaced on the Internet. The photos carry no pedigree and placing them is tough — but PinkCouture identified them over the weekend. 

The photos were taken by Russell James in late 2007/early 2008. They were for VS’ Valentine’s Day 2008 campaigns.

Victoria’s Secret has flipped the brand around multiple times in the last 10 years.

Originally, I thought these photos could have come from the 2003 “Angel in Venice” campaign, a time when the brand was dramatically more upscale than today. To be clear, the current brand image is significantly better than a couple years ago, when many of us rose up in revolt against the then tawdry image of Victoria’s Secret.
