Isabel Alves, 20 years old, born in Ibipitanga, in the interior of Bahia, debuted on the runways of New York on Wednesday (9), during the Coach show at New York Fashion Week. The invitation marks the model's arrival at one of the major fashion weeks in the world, happening a few months after her international debut in Paris.
Isabel's discovery happened unexpectedly, while she was eating pizza, according to the article's title. She was revealed by WAY Model, the agency that also launched well-known names like Carol Trentini, Alessandra Ambrósio and Candice Swanepoel. Before crossing the Atlantic, the Bahian had already drawn attention in Brazil by participating in São Paulo Fashion Week shows.
The modeling career, however, was not in Isabel's plans. She moved to Salvador at 17, right after completing high school, with no intention of pursuing the profession. The text is cut before fully revealing her original plans.
