Romulo Pires’ Sexy Good Looks and Easy Going Attitude Taking him Places in the Fashion World

Romulo Pires is much more than just a pretty face. With a quiet charisma that oozes out of every print ad and commercial he shoots, Romulo has an inner peace and inner happiness that seems to jump from the page and melt the viewer’s heart. In the industry, he is well known for his easy going attitude and his extreme likeability.

Having been raised in a family with over a dozen other brothers and sisters, Romulo Pires more than likely had to learn to “get along” at an early age, and it has served him well. He is very family-oriented and his mother credits him with following the path God made for him, and is also very proud of the lifestyle changes the family has been able to make in the wake of Romulo’s success.

Success doesn’t even begin to accurately define Romulo Pires’ career. After his initial start through Karl Lagerfeld and the Lagerfield Gallery and Chanel, Romulo has shot for campaigns all over the world, for dozens of luxury brands. A smattering of these luxury brands includes Roberto Cavali, Carolina Herrera, Louis Vuitton, Zara, Bellstaf, Pepe Jeans, Valentino, Cartier and Neiman Marcus.

Unlikely as it seems, Romulo’s days are not all-consumed by fashion shoots. He does occasionally find the time to follow some of his other passions including playing soccer, cooking, playing tennis, practicing the combat sport Muay Thai, and playing the ukulele. His friends call him “Magrelo,” for reasons only they know beyond the meaning of the word which is “thin.” He is self-proclaimed as being happy all the time, which is also evident in the way he describes himself as being an outgoing person who is able to interpret the mood of every moment.

Romulo Pires is a charitable person and donates to the cause, New York Cares. This agency is a volunteer service helping to place volunteers with the projects and people who need them. Some of their volunteer services help the New York community with coat drives, youth service clubs and literacy programs.

More than just a pretty face strutting down the runway, Romulo Pires is a highly successful model, family man, philanthropist and dedicated friend all rolled up into one.

Hot Brazilian Model Romulo Pires Lighting Runways on Fire

Brazilian-born model Romulo Pires never had dreams of becoming a world-renowned model; instead, the profession chose him.

Romulo Pires – Global Sensation

Dashing and handsome, model Romulo Pires has been around the world. He has worked in exotic locations for renowned brands such as Gucci, Pepe Jeans, Louis Vuitton, and many others. From his travels, he has picked up some French and Italian along the way. Looking back on his career so far, one of his favorite shoots was in Japan, with Karl Lagerfeld. The models in the group were lost in a sea of thousands of people, especially once the Japanese saw Karl, “The Emperor of Fashion” they poured even more heavily into the area. Romulo and the other models had to find their way through the maze of people, but he says, “In the end, it was worth it because we had a magnificent backdrop of thousands of beautiful Japanese people.”

Born in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, Romulo Pires is proud of his heritage and the fact that so many mega models hail from Brazil. Some other famous male Brazilian models include Alexandre Frota, Henri Castelli and Reynaldo Gianecchini.

Milan is the second most populous city in Italy with well over one million people calling it home. Milan is known world-wide to be a major world fashion and design capital. The city hosts many international events including Milan Fashion Week, taking place twice a year.

Two years later in January 2008, Romulo was in Paris, the International Capital of Style, to walk the Louis Vuitton and John Galliano shows there. It ranks alongside Milan, New York and London as a major hub for the fashion industry.

Romulo Pires – Friends, Family and Fun

Romulo Pires loves modeling. He loves it for the places it has taken him, he loves it for the creative professionals he has met, and he loves it for the friends he has made. Some of the friends Romulo has made in the modeling world include American model, Philip Huang, best known for his pouty, delicious lips; Canadian model Owen Steuart, best known for his gorgeous brown eyes; fellow Brazilian Evandro Soldati, whose pout and abs are famous within the industry; and rising star Francisco Lachowski, another gorgeous Brazilian best known for his pouty lips and phenomenal abs.

Even though the world has been Romulo Pires’ oyster since 2003, there is still one spot on the planet that beckons him, and that is Mt. Everest. Perhaps it is the contrast of being from one of the hottest places on Earth that draws him to one of the coldest. Romulo is fascinated with the history of the Himalayas and he considers shooting at Mt. Everest one item on his “bucket list.”

Sure, modeling takes up a lot of Romulo Pires’ time, but when he’s in relaxation mode, Romulo enjoys attending the theater with his friends, hanging out at the bar with his friends, playing cards, playing soccer, playing his ukulele, and most importantly, talking with people he works with to learn from them.

To maintain his model good looks, he runs every day and eats six small meals throughout the day. He practices Muay Thai (a combat sport), and on those occasions when his sweet tooth needs attention, Romulo Pires loves to eat birthday cake.

His mother, being very religious, told Romulo that modeling was his destiny. And being from a large family, Romulo is happy to be able to improve their lives along with his own through his extensive modeling career.

He considers himself to be highly eclectic, and doesn’t like to stay in one place for too long. But this suits his personality just fine. He thinks of life as one surprise after another, each year something new is brought to your plate. Eventually, Romulo Pires hopes to open a café or some other similar business when he moves on from his modeling career.

Romulo Pires – Eclectic and Diversified

As a top fashion model, Romulo Pires has seen every corner of the globe. He has secured contracts with iconic brands like Gucci, Guess, Zara, Cartier, Nieman Marcus and a host of others. He describes himself as “eclectic” which only minimally illustrates the reasoning behind his flurry of activity over the past eleven years since his inception into the world of high fashion.

Romulo appreciates diversity in life and he not only creates this with shooting all over the world, but in his many hobbies like going to the theater, playing soccer, hanging out with friends and family, playing the ukulele, and playing pool. He also likes running and staying fit by practicing the Thai combat sport, Muay Thai.

He is fond of adventure, and often dreams of the day when he can have the opportunity to shoot on Mount Everest, a lifelong fascination for him. No doubt this Brazilian-Italian born model would still look dashingly elegant in an oversized parka.

 Perhaps it was not just in Romulo Pires’ genes to be eclectic, but in his upbringing as well. He is one of thirteen brothers and sisters – counting total on both his mother and father’s sides. Surely, he needed to be eclectic to stand out among them, and he is supremely happy that he has had the opportunity to improve their lives, as well as his own, through his modeling career.

Fashion magazines have a particular affinity for Romulo also. He has appeared in various editorials in the pages of Spanish GQ, Glamour, V Man, GQ and Korean GQ, Vanity Fair, Upstreet, Madame Figaro, and others.

Romulo is studying theater and hopes to broaden his ambitions even further to stage or film. And someday, he comments, after taking business classes, he would love to open a café in Brazil, and perhaps other businesses, as well. He is always on the move, always moving forward, always thinking ahead. He believes that each year has a new, wonderful surprise just waiting to be discovered.

On top of everything, Romulo Pires is a humanitarian. His favorite cause is the New York City based volunteer program, “New York Cares.” Their impact is felt throughout New York City with their programs to help with disaster response, job readiness, coat drives, literacy programs, youth service clubs, and other community-oriented outreach programs.

His sculpted good looks and debonair style have taken him from changing tires as a mechanic, to walking catwalks and working with the most renowned brands in the world.

When he was just 18, a talent scout discovered him and two years later, the legendary Karl Lagerfeld called and sent Romulo’s career into full bloom. He is grateful to Karl and the influence he has had on his modeling career, and ultimately his life. Based in Paris, Lagerfeld is a German-born fashion designer who is the creative director of Chanel. He is an icon in the fashion world who is also a praised photographer and artist. Romulo describes him as, “One of the kindest people I have ever met.”

When Romulo Pires started his contract with Gucci, he was given the nickname “Gucci Boy” because he appeared in several of the brand’s major campaigns. The largest selling Italian brand in the world, Gucci has been on Business Week’s list of “Top Global 100 Brands.” The public has had a long, trusting love affair with the Gucci brand and Romulo’s handsome, brooding visage has only enhanced the brand’s reputation.

Carolina Herrera is best known not only for her extraordinary personal style, but also for dressing First Ladies. Born in Venezuela, Romulo’s visage has graced Carolina’s 212 Sexy eyewear campaign, when he worked with fellow Brazilian model, Flavia Lucini.

Romulo’s success is not just about his dashing, incomparable good looks, it’s also about his easy going attitude, and cooperative nature. He is easy to smile, quick to laugh, and believes people should, “Save money, be happy, and don’t waste time, because time is precious.”
