“Whoever sees near does not see running”. The phrase can be used with decorum to define the life of the young model Vitor Ribeirowho, after losing everything in a fire, not only rebuilt the house in three months for the family to live in dignity, but was just named a landmark of the international fashion industry.
The so-called “MDC Selects”, from the prestigious Models.com, is the selection of the most promising new faces from around the world, according to the website. “From new discoveries to models already operating on international markets,” explains the publication. This is the case with Victor.
Born in Porto Alegre, the 22-year-old has been working as a model since 2017 and is always looking for opportunities to help his family and work for minorities. “A modeling career helped me to rebuild everything that caught fire. My agency and fashion helped me dream of a better future for me and my family. Today I try to give back, so I always try to represent all gay, black and lower-class Brazilian boys, “said neotop.
The family, in fact, is one of the pillars of life. “My sister is always by my side in everything. As we are both LGBT, it was just us,” she told models.com, revealing that the house was rebuilt in a joint effort with her grandfather and her sister. Endy.
In fact, in his spare time, Vitor devotes himself to another of his passions: the culture of dance, dancing “voguing” with friends and his sister – with whom he forms the duo Irmãs Ribeiro. Performance dance was born in the 1960s as a form of expression for the peripheral gay scene in the United States, by people who were not afraid of coming out at the time. “I love expressing myself by dancing and braiding – I love making people cute with braids,” the young man added to the site.
“My life has always been a struggle, since I was 16, when my house caught fire and we lost everything. Since then, my goal is to rebuild everything I can so that my family can live again. with dignity, “she said, recalling that a modeling career hadn’t entered her radar until it was spotted by a scout. “Now I love my profession so much,” he told Models.com.
Unveiled by Claudio Mignoni’s Aro Model, Vitor collects important campaigns for companies such as Lacoste, Natura and Uber, as well as international operations, with a recent visit to South Africa. The young man is now preparing for a season of work in South Korea, where he will embark next month.
