As a young boy growing up in Brazil, Romulo Pires never dreamed, and could probably never have imagined, where life would take him one day. It was a chance meeting that drew Marina Sakomoto to him on a day when she needed her flat tire fixed, and Romulo was working at the garage where she stopped. Marina worked as a scouting agent for a modeling agency in Brasilia, and she told Romulo that he had star quality and that he should pursue modeling.
As fate would have it, Romulo won the first talent search he entered, and soon after that he received a call from Karl Lagerfeld to work for Chanel and the Lagerfeld Gallery. This was the breakthrough that Romulo needed, as it was at that time when Romulo no longer dreamed of playing soccer for a living, but looked forward to a career as a model with shoots in all corners of the globe.
As a model, Romulo Pires has walked runways, shot high-profile luxury campaigns, and been photographed by world famous photographers. His work has taken him to Milan to walk the Giorgio Armani and Etro shows there, it has taken him to Paris, to walk the Louis Vuitton and John Galliano shows, and it has also taken him to Japan, with Karl Lagerfeld, where they shot for W Magazine.
What happened to Romulo Pires in Japan is one of his favorite modeling career memories. At the time, he was at Shibuya Crossing with Karl Lagerfeld when they were overcome by an enormous crowd. The models were scattered and lost each other. Romulo has commented that this event was fun, scary and exhilarating. By the time the models found each other and the shoot could start, there was a crowd of thousands of Japanese people as their backdrop.
Even though Romulo Pires currently lives in New York City, it doesn’t stop him from dreaming about his favorite “bucket list” shoot location. Romulo has always been a fan of the history of Mount Everest and the Himalayas. Perhaps his interest lies in the fact that it is so distinctly contrasting to his homeland, Brazil. Romulo, a self-professed eclectic Gemini, is not fond of routine, but likes to shake things up a bit. Mt. Everest is the perfect location for devoted fans to see Romulo, dark haired beauty, posing on the windy foothills.
