It all began in Goias, Brazil, where she grew up and got in touch with fashion at the age of four. “My mom used to work in a kids clothing store, called Cara de Anjo (“Face of an Angel”) and they decided to do a runway show. The owner of the store had met me before and asked my mom if I could walk in the show. She was thrilled, so I walked in it, and I remember that when I got in front of the cameras, I sent kisses to everyone who was watching me. I had no idea that my modelling career was going to start so early.” Growing up in Goias, Brazil not only had an impact on her future career, but affected her style choices as well and is still visible in her personal style today. “I live in dresses,” she reveals.
“Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happing.” – Coco Chanel. Today Lisalla resides in New York and living in the Big Apple makes her identify with the famous words by Coco Chanel. “This city is so vibrant and alive with people, seasons, colours, and emotions and I think this is very visible in people’s style choices. Living in New York has given me a new appreciation for style, and an outlet to express myself in the same way. My style changes everyday and is so dependant on where I am, where I am going, or how I am feeling.” Apart from dresses she likes to add skirts, blazers and shoes to her daily looks, along with her must-haves, her Prada bag, sunglasses and Diesel jeans. As a woman who takes pride in feeling sexy and confident, this Brazilian bombshell believes that stilettos will never be out of fashion!
For those of you who want to look as fabulous as Lisalla (who doesn’t?!) take note on her style and beauty tips! “When it comes to style be yourself, be creative, use colours and have fun with your clothes! Regarding to beauty, my number one secret is smile, always eat healthy, working out four to five times a week, get good rest and relax into your life!” This fashionista knew how to turn her passion into her career and is able to work with her favourite people in the industry, like designer Michael Angel. “I admire him a lot. He is so passionate about fashion and he is an incredible designer to work with. He always makes the best choices and not to mention a very funny guy!” It is many years ago that she worked the runway for the first time, but her most memorable fashion moment came when she walked the Hermes show in fashion capitol Paris.
Being a model has influenced Lisalla’s style in every aspect. Though it wasn’t long ago that she felt like a true fashionista. “Last year when I was at Barneys, getting new pieces for my closet. I fell in love with the clothes and spent hours picking and choosing pieces.” However, fashion means more than clothes to this fashionista, she sees it as art. And to declare her love for this art form she loves to bring and represent the best for the people who want to feel beautiful and confident. The ingredients of a style icon...
