Fluvia Lacerda is a Brazilian mid-size curvy model often called the “plus-size Gisele Bündchen.” Born on July 31, 1980, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Fluvia moved to the United States in 1996, when she was 16.
Though she’s a famous model now, her modeling career only began when she was 23, relatively late. This happened when, by chance, a fashion editor discovered her on a New York City bus. Since then, she has become a powerful voice for body positivity and inclusivity in the fashion industry.
