Note: the below is a general description of the interview, NOT a word-for-word translation.
"AFTER 3 YEARS WITHOUT GOING AT BRAZILIAN FASHION SHOWS, THE NEW INTEGRANT OF FORBES LIST IS BACK FOR THE 10 YEARS OF SÃO PAULO FASHION WEEK"
The magazine starts saying that isn't hard to know why Adriana became in only 10 years one of the most requested models of the world, and thats because she has a special appearence. That her "look" gave her millions and she hate to talk about money, even that she was in Forbes list at that year (2005). And it's a list that only the Brazilians Ronaldo, Gisele Bundchen and herself ever entered in.
Her words: "I dont know if I was at the right place, at the right time. It was really a present of God."
"I was at the school and a friend asked me to go with her at a fashion competition. I had no idea about the fashion world, I didnt know any models. Then I was passing for the next parts of the competition and my friend didn't. So I won the competition and got the 2nd place at the world final at Miami."
Then they said that Adriana, always with her mom, went to live in the USA.
Her words: "The condition was that my mom had to go with me to USA. I would miss her so much. Everything happened so fast, and I thought: If I'm gonna chose this career, it needs to worth the cost. I don't wanna just have a beautiful "book" to show it for my sons. If I'm gonna chose it, I wanna get a lots of money."
"I have a project for a few years, but I don't want to talk about it, it gives gambling."
"I received some tours, and I love to interpret. It is more subtle than posing or fashion walking. But when I do something, I like to dedicate 100% of myself on it, and now, I'm working very much at fashion works, so much that I couldn't come to Brazil Fashion Week for the last 3 years. I almost don't do catwalk anymore. But I'm happy to come back to here now."
Then they said that she doesn't like to talk about her personal life, relationships, and they wrote about Lenny and the prince. Her words: "I don't like to talk about my relationships, you know? Strip the focus of my work. But I can say that I'm really happy about that, I'm living in a good phase."
Than they said about the prince, and about she moving out of USA and getting more close to him.
"I love Paris, its the city that I chose coz I love the culture and the achitecture in there. And the food too, of course."
"Marriage and children are things that I always thought about, since I was a kid. But I don't think about that right now, I still have time."
"I don't do anything to keep the nice body. I eat a lot, I don't have time to make exercises. I work 12 hours per day, I don't want to wake up at 5AM just to exercise. It was God who gave me this body. And my genes. I think the secret is to be 100% baiana (who was born at Bahia). My parents are baianos, my grandparents. That must be something about the misture, of course, thats the secret."
"I always felt very confortable with VS. The VS team saw me growing up, I started very young. I don't have any problem about wearing lingeries or swimsuits in front of them. We are like a family."
"Sometimes I take 4 days of vacation just to be with my mom at Salvador. I have 1 mounth of vacations. I take them always in August. I dissapear. No one finds me, not even my agency. I never tell to anyone where I gonna be on vacation."
"I know a lot of countries, but I never gone to Japan or China. I'd love to experience those countries."
