Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid weren't the only models to make a splash at the Victoria Secret fashion show 2015.
Angolan native, Maria Borges managed to stand out for being the first
angel to walk the runway in a coily, cropped Afro, also known as the
“big chop” in the natural hair community.
The
23 year old, who debuted the hair style earlier this fall, Shared her
excitement for Victoria Secret’s approval of her hair style for the
fashion show, she wrote on instagram, “AFRICA, this one is for you! I
LOVE YOU”, adding hashtags like #MBmakinghistory and #afrohair.

is that Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy artistic director, advised her to let
go of her extensions and stay true to her looks, even though at the time
she was skeptical, having just booked a gig with H&M. However, she
felt ready this season and she finally did it.
