Lifeguard Daniel Tardite, from Rio de Janeiro, had once thought about modeling, but never pursued it. Until he was discovered on social media by none other than French brand Jacquemus.
The 22-year-old military firefighter works in Praia do Recreio and was discovered in 2022. Today, he already has some important work in his short resume. The first of these, of course, was the campaign for the Jacquemus brand itself, photographed by Eber Figueira in Praia Vermelha, in 2023. Daniel has also starred in fashion shows for brands such as Arezzo and Ana Capri.
A physiotherapy student, the handsome young man has been working in maritime rescue for two years. “I have already carried out several rescues, situations where people were unable or did not know how to get out of the sea,” he said.
He told the “Them on the red carpet” who wanted to work as a model, but didn’t pursue it. “I was very happy when I was invited by Jacquemus, which is a big international brand. I had never worked in the industry, I always wanted to enter the market, I overcame my fear and agreed to join this journey,” she said.
He also spoke about how he manages to combine his work as a lifeguard and a model. “It’s a bit complicated and laborious. But since they are two fields that I really like and that I identify with, it’s worth it,” he explained, recalling that until he was discovered by the French brand, he had no connection with the world of fashion. “I also had friends who were models, but I didn’t know how things worked.”
Daniel recently signed with Anderson Baumgartner’s WAY agency, responsible for the careers of top models such as Carol Trentini, Alessandra Ambrósio and Marlon Teixeira, which should further boost the career of the lifeguard and physical therapy student.
