"My first runway show was at the Copacabana Palace hotel for Lacoste, where Michel Lacoste was there too"

Hello World of Models family, I´m Anton Vasconcellos, 20 years old and I was born in Rio de Janeiro, I'm a typical "carioca". I enjoy sports (swimming and handball), parties, hanging out with my buddies,beach,, nature, barbecue and my family. My favorite place in Rio is the Lagoa. I'm sure I was born in one of the best places around the world live in the world. I always dreamed about becoming a model and actor so I decided to work hard for it. Nowadays I´m a model and study theater Modeling and Acting alwhere in Rio.I decided to become a model at age of 16. I was in a beauty parlor and a woman came to me and said that I had that that special style to be a model. I decided to give a try cause as I told you before folks, I really wanted to become a model. And three buddies of mine who are actors and models helped me a lot and encouraged me to never give up.

And here I am, got signed with 40º Models and living the modeling life! The best thing about modeling is to be able to learn so many things as, for example, how to walk in the runways, how to pose to the photographers, posture. Being a model is not only having a "pretty face", you need to be more than that. It´s your atitude, it´s a model behavior. My first pics took place in 2009 and what I like most when I work with the photographers is the sinergy we have to achieve the best results. It´s the right lighting, the perfect angle for the shooting. It works like a professional teamwork. I try to relax before every shooting and hear the photographers´ instructions very carefully and I feel

like I´m in home with my family and friends

Lacoste and the fashion runways: life of a model!

I´ve just done Fashion Rio and I walked for British Colony Spring/ Summer 2010/2011 and also walked for Manoel Ozi and Social Club, both in the Fashion Business, but my first runway show was at the Copacabana Palace hotel for Lacoste, where Michel Lacoste was there too Backstages´ stories? Hmmm, I was in a fashion week with other models. Everyone had a backpack and the producers gave us some snacks (fruits, sandwiches, juices,etc ) but you guys can imagine what happens next...before the end of the runway, the models started to grab more snacks and I mean more and moooooreeeee!. When the producers asked about what had happened with the backpacks (they were soooooo full inside!l!), they just answered that it was because of "Bolsa Famíia " hahahaha (note of the editor. Bolsa Família is a brazilian social assistance program)

Anton by himself

A fashionista?: I'ma pretty simple guy, just a T shirt and pair of jeans make my day!
Imagine u a famous model surrounded by a huge crowd. How you´d handle it?: Hahaha, this woul be great, but I don´t imagine myself in that situation. Maybe I´d tell to everyone I wasn´t that famous model. I´m a quiet guy

Human Rights, Freedom of speech, Sexual behaviors: I think these are very complex issues. There are lots of blah blah blah but the problems remain especially when we see how our government deal with these issues. So everyone must work for a better world and not only expect for the politicians. The only purpose of Wars is to increase the number of deaths, since there is no winner. It´s a stupid way to show which country got more warlike power. Concerning Human Rights you should be respected the way you must respect the rights of every human being.

Show biz, Fame and 5 most important things for his life: It´s hard to be part of it and even more harder to keep it. You got to be a real talented person and also you have to count on a very important aspect: luck and grab the opportunities life is offering you! Fame and Success allow you the recognition granted by the people, the media, the fashion world that you are in the top of the world! If I had to choose the 5 most important things in my life would be:
#1 My family because they are my loved ones who always support me
#2 Friends: the ones I chose to stay with me in all moments of my life
#3 My musics: always with me wherever I go
#4 My lap: to keep me updated about the fashion trends, the news about the fashion world, my city. It also keep me conect wtih my family, friends
#5 Last but not the least, enjoying the life to the fullest!

Dating X Love: I always dated girls I used to meet at the parties, but I´m a quiet guy
Sports: Soccer
His way to atract someone´s attention: Be gentle, caring and polite. Sense of humor helps a lot too
Having fun and enjoying the best of life: Always with my family and chilling out with my buddies. Going to beach and to waterfalls. Simply amazing!
Craziest (nastiest?) thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: I was in a friend´s house with several models. Among them, there was the mother of one model. We met each other and then.....(well, now it´s up to your imagination folks lol!)

Fav body part and why: My legs cause they are always in good shape hahaha
