Erin Heatherton Victoria's Secret

Erin Heatherton finished 2008 on a strong note that included two high-profile magazine editorials -- one for the Italian version of Marie Claire and another for the British edition of Harper's Bazaar. She would also dress up by dressing down for a series of Victoria's Secret runway shows that would accompany additional runway work for Moschino, Oscar de la Renta and Tommy Hilfiger. She would also enter the pages of Muse for a unique body painting editorial. It went against the traditional grain by allowing her to stay clothed in fabric from Gucci, Diesel and Miu Miu while she dispensed paint all over an increasingly naked unlucky chap.

Following her first magazine covers for Elle (Brazil), Marie Claire (Brazil) and Harper’s Bazaar, Ambrosio hit pay dirt in 1999 as a hired gun on a campaign for Calvin Klein Jeans and a Paris and New York runway model for Christian Lacroix and Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti.
