Romulo Pires Shares His Success

Yes, Romulo Pires, the Brazilian born supermodel, was voted one of People Magazine’s 2006 Sexiest Men Alive, and yes, he has walked runways for Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. He has also graced the pages of GQ Brazil, Elle Men Mexico, and Details Magazine, among many more too numerous to name. In his time, Pires has represented luxury brands as esteemed as Christian Lacroix, Caroline Herrera, CK One, and Gucci, in addition to practically every other designer brand imaginable, and could also be seen cavorting with Madonna in a 2009 issue of W magazine. Yes, all of these things are true, but that’s not necessarily what Romulo Pires wants you to know about his life.

For example, Pires is one of five children raised by a single mother, but also one of thirteen children if you count the eight additional siblings from his father’s side. Perhaps this is where he developed the gratitude to always remember the people who have helped him get where he is in life. Always one to share his success, Pires claims that his mother has expressed her pride in him for not just changing his life through modeling, but his brothers’ lives as well by moving them to a better place to live in their hometown of Samambaia, Brazil. 
 
Romulo’s mother can also be proud of the support that he gives the nonprofit volunteer organization New York Cares in his recently adopted hometown of New York City. New York Cares mobilizes over 56,000 volunteers annually, for a total of 1,500 unique projects per month to serve over 400,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers. While Romulo Pires clearly appreciates the perks of being one of the most distinctive supermodels working in fashion today, he has never forgotten the importance of lending a helping hand when he can.
