ADRIANA LIMA (b. 1981)

Adriana Lima’s autograph on a photograph associated with one of the defining periods of her career as a Victoria’s Secret model. The signature appears directly on the photograph, portraying Lima in the celebrated Victoria’s Secret Angel aesthetic. The composition is accompanied by the quotation: “Happiness is the best beauty trick.”

Adriana Lima is a Brazilian supermodel whose name became one of the most recognisable in international fashion. Her long association with Victoria’s Secret occupies a defining place in her career, with her image becoming closely connected to the visual history of the brand and the celebrated era of the Victoria’s Secret Angels.

The signed photograph is presented in an artist-designed presentation by Krilov Art. Deep black matting provides a strong visual contrast, while a metal plaque bearing Lima’s name and the quotation completes the composition. A broad metallic-toned frame gives the work a restrained gallery character and places the emphasis firmly on the photograph and autograph.

The authenticity of the signature is supported by the international authentication markings displayed on the photograph. The combination of Adriana Lima’s autograph, the Victoria’s Secret Angel imagery and the artist-designed presentation gives the work documentary and collectible significance within the history of fashion and popular culture.
