Lorena Durán is the first ‘curvy’ model of Victoria’s Secret

The Hungarian model, who had already filed for Victoria’s Secret in 2012 (and did not do so until last 2018 for not passing the rigorous castings of the firm) has spoken openly about the importance it had for her to accept their curves when they rained the critics by its physicist and even when several marks rejected it by their measures. Now, after this stage, the key to Palvin is to feel comfortable with his body  and be focused on his goals. Something that has also served Lorena Durán who, after eight years of career (she started when she was just 17), has lived one of her most special days as she has told us exclusively: “Imagine how I feel .. . I fulfilled one of my dreams, but above all I’m happy that brands as top as Victoria’s Secret bet on diversity, “says excited and turned into the first model with curves that appears on the website of the brand.

The Sevillian has realized her dream of working for the lingerie firm

This laboratory technique that dreamed of being a model and follow the steps of its reference, Tara Lynn, and which we met in 2015 during the Adlib fashion show in Ibiza  (where we casually asked her if she thought there would be wings for curvy women one day   You can add one more achievement to your career, which includes works with such important brands as El Corte Inglés , Violeta Mango , Asos, Intimissimi  or the recent collaboration of Sofía Vergara with Walmart . An honor, that of having been signed by Victoria’s Secret, which she shares with a select group of Spanish models who have filed for the firm or appeared in their catalogs over the years: Esther Cañadas, Clara Alonso, Eugenia Silva, Helena Barquilla, Almudena Fernández, Sheila Márquez, Vanessa Lorenzo and Blanca Padilla.

A work commitment that makes the model have to spend long periods away from home and theirs: ” Until July I do not return to my beloved Seville, I miss it so much“. Although surely the sacrifice is worth it when he remembers that, with his example, she is helping many women to feel proud of their curves and to love each other more. Is this the first step to see models with curves on the catwalk of the sexiest parade in the world? In our first interview with her, four years ago, Lorena had it clear: “The day will come when Victoria will have to make designs for curvy women“Well, that moment has arrived and she is the protagonist, now we just have to wait until the next parade and see if this big step for the lingerie firm (and for the model) is completed on the catwalk.

And in the meantime, we applaud the success of another promising Spanish model outside our borders. And inside, because surely when she returns to her “beloved Seville”, she will be received as an authentic angel. What it is. Congratulations, Lorena!
