She says she sometimes thinks she was bom in high heels. Certainly, few women have logged as many miles in them as the Brazilian model called Dalma. Four times a year, in as many as sixty fashion shows a season, she rules the international runways with a cool, wavy walk that turns cloth into water. In a profession of mini-lifespans, Dalma still walks supreme after nearly a decade. (She paused to pick up a special award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1986.) On a good day, she says, "I feel I have the whole collection for myself. I'm very vain. You have to be in this business."
