Introducing the Paradise Found Edition with Alessandra Ambrosio

Growing up in the early '00s, Alessandra Ambrosio was undoubtedly a top model of the millennium. A key player in the next generation of supermodels, she followed in the footsteps of her predecessors, the likes of Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, to continue pushing the modelling industry into big business. Fast forward 17 years and the mother of two is far from retired. With decades of experience under her belt, she showed us on the set of the Remix Summer cover shoot in Los Angeles (shot by Nino Munoz) what it takes to retain supermodel status all these years later. The key to her success and happiness? Creating her own paradise.
