signed with IMG.

runway, Lindvall has appeared in commercials for H&M, The Gap, and
Victoria's Secret. She was the face of the Spanish "high-street" store
Zara, and was featured in their spring/summer 2007 campaign. Lindvall has
also made appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
As an actress, Lindvall has appeared in CQ (2001) and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
