Model Romulo Pires is Always Ready for a Challenge

Romulo Pires, darling of the luxury brands, doesn’t like to sit and wait for life to happen to him. Romulo is of the mindset that if there’s something in life he wants, he must go out and get it for himself. It took only a suggestion from Marina Sakomoto when he was just 18, to turn Romulo’s life upside down. One moment he is changing a tire in a garage, the next he is jet-setting all over the world to represent various luxury brands like Gucci, Valentino, Lagerfeld Gallery, Chanel, cK1 and a myriad of others.

Being a Gemini, Romulo Pires admits to loving surprises, and never wanting to be stuck doing the same thing. His modeling career sends him to exotic locales all over the world, and this suits Romulo just fine. He has experienced crazy things in Tokyo with Karl Lagerfeld at the Shibuya Crossing, walked runways in Paris and Milan for Louis Vuitton, John Galliano, Giorgio Armani and Etro, and even kissed Madonna during a shoot for “W” Magazine in 2009.

Now living in the New York City area, Romulo is also an active philanthropist. The main charity he contributes to and is active in is New York Cares. This volunteer organization is dedicated to helping New Yorkers anyway they can, through year round volunteer opportunities, disaster preparedness and response, youth service opportunities, holiday coat and gift drive, and many others.

Even though Romulo Pires has shot all over the world, there is still one place that for him remains unconquerable. Romulo has always loved learning about the history of the Himalayas, and would especially love to shoot on the foothills of Mt. Everest. Perhaps it is the direct contrast of Brazil and the snowy, cold climate of Nepal that appeals to him.

Maintaining his exquisite physique is a daily job for Romulo, and one of the training methods he uses is practicing the Thai combat sport, Muay Thai. This sport combines the use of fists, elbows, knees, shins and feet, making it an excellent overall workout, as well as an extremely challenging one, which is what makes it especially appealing to Romulo.
