6 Becoming the first of many
Sampaio is making waves in the modeling industry. After appearing on Vogue Paris’ cover in February 2017, Sampaio received the international media attention that she needed. She was also the first transgender woman to grace Vogue’s cover.
She was also featured on Vogue Brasil’s and Vogue Germany’s covers later that year. Guess what? She’s also the first openly transgender woman to appear on their covers. Sampaio has been signed by The Lions, a New York modeling agency.
5 And then again, she is just another model
Valentina Sampaio believes that you should know that she is just like every other model. Although she may be well-known for being transgender, she still has a lot to offer like other models.
French Vogue’s editor-in-chief stated that when a transgender person appears on a front cover of a magazine, it is not necessary to write an editorial about the subject. We know the battle is won.
