Raica de Oliveira (born January 22, 1984 in Niterói, Brazil) is a supermodel, best known as one of the faces of Victoria's Secret & Dior. Shortly after winning 2nd place at the Elite Model Look International Final in 1999, Raica (pronounced Hi-KA) was christened "The sensation" at the fall fashion shows in Paris and Milan. This 17 year-old stunner managed to emerge as one of the most talked about models of the season alongside fellow Elite stars Adriana Lima, Maggie Rizer, Oluchi and Karen Elson. And yes, that was her turning up the heat in the Christian Dior campaign that appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Mademoiselle, and other fashion magazines. |
