-HOW
I STARTED MODELING I was born in Samambaia and
I was working as a car mechanic in my hometown, satellite
city of Brasilia, one day a model scout of
a local agency with a flat tire asked me if i could
replace it, then there was a little chat, she told me
that I had the ideal profile for shows, campaings and
editorials.
-THE
ELITE' CONTEST AND THE FIRST MODELING JOBS Immediately
afterwards I started working in Brasilia and I was selected
in the first place to participate the masculine local
stage of the competition the "Elite Model Look"
staying in the first place of the national stage during
the year 2001. Two years later I started working for
Karl Lagerfeld and before my first parade I signed a
contract for the campaigns of Chanel, Zara and Lagerfeld
Gallery.

-TRAVELING
AROUND THE WORLD DOING CAMPAIGNS Thanks to help of the “godfather”
Lagerfeld, I started traveling around the world I didn't
stop anymore, doing campaigns for Gucci, Valentino,
Pepe Jeans (with Siena Miller), Robert Cavalli, Carolina
Herrera, Christian Lacroix, Calvin Klein, Laura Biagiotti,
Emanuel Ungaro, Bagutta, Dolce&Gabbana,
Versace, Christian
Dior (with Monica Bellucci), Guess, Hugo Boss and others.
I have worked with big photografers like Steven Miesel,
Steven Klein, Mario Testino, Craig Mac Dean, Milan Vukmiroric
and I did comercials
for GARNIER, CHRISTIAN LACROIX, LAURA BIAGIOTTI, CK1
among others.
