Grosso shares insights in one paragraph that really capture the fashion moment when Adriana Lima arrived in New York City:

“Though the single-moniker supermodel craze soon bled into the rise of heroin-chic, androgynous waifs, by the late ‘90s, the tide turned again, and the Brazilian invasion was on. “Quickly, it started shifting,” [Anna Sui] Sui recalls during a recent Zoom call with L’OFFICIEL. “Suddenly, there were these beautiful Brazilians coming in who were ultra-sexy and womanly. Adriana came up right at that moment.” Famed hairstylist Garren’s shears snipped Lima’s hair surprisingly short—in a move that would prove fateful—and soon Sui decided to cast Lima for her Americana surf-inspired Spring/Summer 1998 runway show, a first for the newbie model.”
