Career

Even though she is one of the greatest models of all time, her career started with a bad event. She experienced a wardrobe malfunction during her very first show! She declares,
“For some reason everyone was wearing clothes and they put a bikini on me,” she says. “They tied the bikini and put the top part behind my back and I was like, ‘Guys, this is not going to work. I don’t feel comfortable with that. He is about to fall. They’re like, ‘No, you’re fine. Go girl, go! And then I started going down. I was nervous it was my first time and I felt my bikini top fall off. As I walked I felt like something was slowly coming down and I was like, “Oh my God, oh my God, help me”, and when I was completely in front of the photographers, he fell. I was just frozen and saw everyone around me standing there clapping and laughing.
Izabel says it was one of the most humbling and embarrassing moments for her. However, she was able to put it all behind her and returned to the runway for all the A-list designers like Bill Blass, Jill Sander, Michael Kores, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney!
