I have already featured Maria Borges as an unidentified model from a Target ad, and I have also reported her ID in a subsequent post. Here is my first proper post dedicated to this beauty from the African country of Angola. :-)
Maria Borges has not only modeled for middlebrow establishments like Target, she's also been a model for high-end cosmetics brands like L'Oreal and Bobbi Brown. Among the designers she's wlaked the fashion show runways for are Anna Sui, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Fürstenberg, Dior, Gianfranco Ferre, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, and too many more to list here. :-)
She has done numerous fashion magazine covers and became the first African model to appear on the cover of Elle in twenty years (and only the second African model African model to appear on the cover of Elle ever), after Alek Wek in 1997.
Maria Borges is a muse of Italian designer Riccardo Tisci. She calls him her "godfather." :-D
