The Fifty Shades of Romulo

50 Shades of Grey has the world all in a tizzy. You either love it or hate it. However, there’s nothing to hate about Romulo Pires. Tall, dark, insanely handsome, the hot Brazilian model with half Brazilian and half Italian ancestry is world-renown for his ad campaigns and editorial shoots for the top luxury brands on the planet. You name the luxury brand, he’s been there - Chanel, Lagerfeld Gallery, Francesco Smalto, Carolina Herrera, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, these opulent brands are not at the top simply because of their fabulous products, they also know a thing or two about marketing as well and putting Romulo Pires in the driver seat draws customers to them by the millions.

There’s probably much you don’t know about Romulo Pires. When he’s not acting he loves playing soccer (like a good Brazilian boy should), playing tennis, practicing Muay Thai and he also plays the ukulele. He comes from an enormous family of 13 brothers and sisters and considers his mom his idol, hero and life inspiration.

Romulo Pires Stunning on Harper’s Bazaar China Magazine Cover

The cover of Harper’s Bazaar China magazine is usually graced by gorgeous Oriental women in various comely outfits and poses. On occasion, the magazine will feature someone like Sarah Jessica Parker or model Victoria Beckham. However, this past Christmas, for their special Christmas edition, Harper’s Bazaar China proudly displayed Romulo Pires and Valeria Garcia in full regalia for the dazzling Tiffany & Co. Christmas ad campaign. With smatterings of Tiffany & Co.’s famous robin egg blue and enormous white flakes falling just outside the floor to ceiling window, Romulo Pires looks stunning holding a tiny gift of what one can only guess is probably a piece of jewelry for the equally as gorgeous Valeria. Photographer Tim Gutt and Set Designer Shona Heath should take great pride in this campaign with a citron and diamond necklace wrapped around the tree like über-expensive garland and citron and diamond earrings hanging as delightfully dazzling ornaments.

Striking Model Romulo Pires Taking It All in Stride

He resembles a fabled Greek God with his thick dark hair, simmering and insanely focused green eyes, patrician nose and high edgy cheekbones. It’s no wonder he’s the go-to male model for such opulent brands as Carolina Herrera, Cartier, Christian Lacroix, Francesco Smalto and dozens of others. Comfortable in any location at any shoot, Romulo Pires makes wearing a tuxedo at Christmas time just as easy and alluring as lightly perspiring shirtless in a blazing hot desert. Known for his affable charm and charismatic personality, Romulo Pires makes friends wherever he goes and always strives to do his best at each shoot, offering advice to up and coming models to do the same. Taking it all in stride, he finds an equal balance between spending time with friends and family and jet-setting to exotic locations around the world, ever-ready for his next exciting challenge.

Romulo Pires Loves Modeling with a Side of Fun and Adventure

Romulo Pires has always been the type of man his friends can lean on, and that his family can trust and admire. For him, traveling around the world for his modeling career is a blessing as he describes himself as an eclectic person with a type of gypsy wanderlust in his heart, always propelling him forward to the next shoot, the next location, the next set of creative people to meet and befriend. Already his career has taken him to such exotic locales as the Shibuya Crossing in Japan, Milan, Paris and more. His dream shoot takes him to the Himalayas because he is deeply fascinated with the history of Mount Everest and the area in general. Even though Romulo Pires believes a shoot there might be impossible, maybe someday, he hopes, he can brave the icy winds and stand on the foothills of the quiet, looming Tibetan giant.

Romulo Pires Anticipates 2015 to be His Best Year Yet

Most recently appearing in the trendy Tiffany & Co. holiday ads, Romulo Pires is gearing up for a successful and prosperous new year. His career started just about a decade ago when the highly-revered German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld of the Lagerfeld Gallery took Romulo under his wing and launched his modeling career into one that is still as active and fruitful as ever. Romulo has boldly strutted his hot stuff down runways in Paris and Milan for top fashion designers, and has been in countless editorials and on covers of magazines. Romulo Pires has appeared in commercials for CK1 and Christian Lacroix. With his intoxicating blend of Italian and Brazilian genes, this super hot model takes things as they come and he can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for him both personally and professionally.

Romulo Pires: Reaching the Highest Level of Success

Coming from a family of 13, Romulo Pires never dreamed he’d make it big. Working as a mechanic in Brazil, people there always called him “Model of Funerary” no doubt because of his impressive height and brooding, dark good looks. This was the only indication that maybe, one day, luck and destiny would come knocking and sure enough it did, in the form of a talent scout from Brasilia, Brazil while he changed the scout’s flat tire. Since that time, Romulo Pires has been the face and figure for the most luxurious and well-known brands in the world including Lagerfeld, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rochas, Clarins, Francesco Smalto and an impressive array of others. Romulo Pires believes that happiness is the highest level of success. With his modeling career growing exponentially, most recently he has appeared in holiday ads by Tiffany & Co., and his ability to help his mother and the rest of his family, Romulo Pires can’t imagine being even more successful than he is right now. 

Move Over Santa! There’s a New Man in Town this Christmas

Red, gold and green might be the traditional colors for Christmas, but this year, the new Tiffany & Co. Christmas campaign turns tradition on its ear. Already distinctive for its trademark robin egg blue, Tiffany & Co. infuses their ad campaign with this unorthodox hue for a remarkably calm, clean and exotic new type of Christmas appeal. Romulo Pires is the male face of the campaign and sparkles amidst the fluffy urban freshness and oversized sparkling gifts, working opposite Valeria Garcia who herself is the embodiment of retro perky. There’s no Santa in sight in this campaign and that’s because Romulo’s quiet, contrastingly dark and debonair attitude is enough of a dominating male presence to spark nostalgic thoughts of 50’s ads.  Set designer Shona Heath has captured the magic of the modern Christmas to a Tee.
