Biography |
Bruno Santos is considered one of the emerging model
sensations that hail from Brazil in the recent years. He is
the only male model who was selected to carry out two
campaigns simultaneously for two competing fashion houses,
Versace and Giorgio Armani.
Bruno grew up with three brothers and one sister, and held
many jobs since the age 12, including construction and
farmwork. He was an engineering student before he became a
model, and taught math as a side job during his schooling.
Bruno had not considered modeling as a career, but in 2000,
his girlfriend, who was modeling at the time, introduced him
to her agency. The agency agreed to pay for his expenses to
try out in Europe,[citation needed] but Bruno was working
full-time and didn't take the offer seriously. But the
agency and his friends eventually changed Bruno's mind about
modeling.
Bruno traveled to Paris, where he met his agent Ike Gamez.
It was Ike Gamez who introduced Bruno into mainstream
high-fashion, which led to the campaigns for Versace shot by
Steven Klein and Armani by Peter Lindburgh. While Bruno was
modeling in New York, he witnessed the tragedy of September
11, 2001.
He considers traveling around the world and experiencing
different cultures as a positive point of modeling,
especially when he met his secret crush Christina Aguilera
at a Versace shoot. But considers traveling away from home
and family as a downside. In his home country Brazil, Bruno
owns a restaurant where his family works. He enjoys reading
poetry in his spare time.
As an established figure in modeling business, Bruno is
known for his professionalism and his positive attitude. He
even adds some of his own theatrical touch during photo
shoots at times. Bruno recently left Re:Quest Model
Management (the agency that launched his career in New York)
and signed with Wilhelmina Models. |
