SPOTLIGHT ON...
Adriana Fontes Lobo
If you don’t know her name now, you should get familiar real quick. This young lady is an up and coming model in the Boston area. With a body that could stop traffic, Adriana could easily be the next model, or super model, that the world has been waiting for. With her mile long legs, and a waist that could make any girl who walks on the runway envious, Adriana not only has the body but the face and personality to match. Her face is not easily forgotten and when she walks into any room she captures the eyes and attention of everyone. Her face could be easily seen on commercials or ads for Cover Girl or Maybelline. There are many models that have the typical body and look, but Adriana’s personality shines through. With her care free attitude and great sense of humor Adriana is someone any photographer or designer would love to work with. She looks amazing in about almost anything and knows how to work the runway.
In my interview with Adriana she opens up about her fashion sense, her beauty secrets and her care free go for it attitude. Adriana makes her own fashion rules and uses inspiration from designers, celebrities, and magazines like InStyle, Vogue, Teen Vogue, W Magazine, Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Allure and many more sitting on today’s shelves. She is not a copycat in any means, but like many designers and celebrities, she takes their great ideas and fashion sense and makes it her own. This is my interview with Adriana Fontes Lobo.
CC) When did your fashion sense/style become apparent to you and at what age did you start modeling?
AL) My fashion sense was apparent at the age of 16. I knew that I had a passion for fashion and when I looked through magazines like InStyle, Vogue, Teen Vogue, W Magazine, and so many others I would just get a sense of excitement. I looked at the models and said I could easily do that and so I went for it.

CC) If you had to describe your style what would it be?
AL) My style is Classic Punk. With living in Boston, especially in an urban community and being Cape Verdean, many are always surprised that I am not wearing the “typical” urban fashion that young teens are wearing. I like to stand out and do what makes me happy and wear what makes me comfortable.

CC) If people were to make fun of your style or say that you’re trying to hard what would you say?
AL) I first would ignore them. Why do I have to defend who I am or what my style is to anyone? I am not a rock star in anyway but my look can give people the impression that i am. I like to add a modern edge to my outfits by wearing leather jackets or boots. I also like to accessorize with metal pieces, zippers, gauges, and chains. I’m not afraid to mix punk with feminine pieces like skirts and dresses. I defiantly wear lots and lots of black. Are people going to say I am gothic? They might but who cares, black to me is classic and it has become my go to color.
