Pregnant supermodel Irina Shayk might be famous now, but that wasn't the case in 2006, when she modeled for lingerie brand Intimissimi for the first time. The shoot launched Shayk's career, making her a household name. Now she's come full circle, starring in the company's latest campaign more than a decade later.
“It is such an honor to come full circle with the brand that I started with,” she told Vogue via email during Paris Fashion Week. “So much has changed in my career since I worked with them, and I am happy to be a part of the Intimissimi family again.”
More than ten years later and Shayk looks as good as ever in the black, lacy lingerie sets she modeled for the fashion line. “I am very grateful for everything that I have,” she said. “I have worked hard for it—it didn’t happen overnight. So I appreciate this contract and all my relationships with the amazing designers whom I work with.”
“When it comes to lingerie, there are no rules,” Shayk said. “I feel the sexiest when I’m myself, no hair, no makeup.”
“I love seeing lingerie on the runway," the supermodel revealed, "but I personally think it’s best to save it for the bedroom!”
