Brazilian model Danilo Martins: life of a fashionista!


by Edward with Danilo

"I guess I am a fashionista Haha I basically wear the same kind of clothes for castings and jobs as I do when I go out with my friends or in my daily activities"

 

Hey guys, the pleasure is mine to be here. I´m Danilo Martins, 21 years old and I live in Campo Grande, MS . I´ve been travelling around the world for the past 2 years. There is always somewhere even more beautiful place to see and someone special to meet.Besides my work, which I really enjoy doing, what really makes me happy is to be able to meet such different different kind of people, cultures, learn new languages. and take pictures of everything I find interesting I love to walk around listening to my music, taking pictures of everything I find interesting. Also, I am addicted to music and movies. I can´t survive without them hehe

I had a friend that was working as a model and one day she had a casting and asked me to go with her. Before I leave the agency the booker asked me if I had any interest in being a model and then I decided to give a try. I started to take care of my shape and learn about modeling world. My first shooting was nice. That time I had long hair and before the shooting I had my hair. I was kind nervous, but then I really enjoyed it and things worked out well.

Photographers and a small sized pant to wear!

I like when the photographers have some original ideas. And I also like to hear some music while I pose to them. It´s really exciting and cool. I think it makes a difference when the job is done. I don’t have any special preparation before a shooting. Well, I just like to stretch up and relax a bit.

Funny stories? Hmm, I had some for sure. It is really funny when sometimes the stylist gives you some really small sized pants that can`t fit you really well. The whole crew makes fun of this situation because the way you walk or move with those pants on! Haha But the funniest part is that when you see the picture done: You can`t even imagine the model had some hard time! Haha

Mario Queiroz, V. Rom, Calvin Klein, Ermengildo Zegna: the life of a fashionista!

I really like doing fashion shows. It is still a cool feeling for me when you walk in the runway.
I`ve walked for Mario Queiroz, V.Rom and Caio Gobbi @ Sao Paulo Fashion Week. In Asia I`ve done some fashion shows for Calvin Klein, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ann Demeulemeester, besides some local brands in those markets, just to name a few.

I guess I am a fashionista Haha I basically wear the same kind of clothes for castings and jobs as I do when I go out with my friends or in my daily activities. I like to feel comfortable and confident when I wear something. That’s the most important thing for me. What I like to wear most is simple: black jeans, a nice t-shirt and converse. I also love my black hat and sun glasses.

Danilo by himself

Imagine being a famous model and huge crowd gets wild when see you. How´d you handle it?:I would try to be as nice as I can, showing them some affection for the fact that they admire me. And after a while, I´d try, in a nice way, to keep walking and do whatever I was going to

Human Rights, Freedom of speech, Wars and Sexual behavior: I think that the world is turned a bit upside down. But, in the same time, I still think that people can not give up and things will get better and better. The most important thing is to be yourself no matter what the other people would think about you. Nothing is better than freedom. Nobody can be happy pretending to be something different that what really is. Life wouldn’t be as nice if all of us were exactly the same.
Show Biz, Fame, Success and 5 most important things: For me, fame and success are two different things. Fame is something more superficial. Everybody want to know you but it really doesn`t mean that you worked hard for deserving this attention. Success is when you worked really hard to become a good professional in what you do. As a result, people know who you are and the values that come along this job
5 most important things for me:
1. Family (cause they are the ones who taught me to be who I am and who give me strength to keep going)
2. A couple of real friends (The family you choose)
3. My Job (which I enjoy doing and helped me to learn lot of things about life, about what is most important for me, and helped me to find some real friends. Besides the money I get, of course
4. Living well (And I don’t mean being rich, but to be able to buy everything you want. I mean, in a way of enjoying your life with all you have. 4. Do things you have pleasure doing. Be happy. Be simple
5. Be yourself (You will attract the right people close to you. Things will happen to you naturally. You can not be happy pretending to be someone you are really not

Dating X Love: Romantic and a bit shy.
Sports: I like running
Way to atract someone´s attention: Being simply myself.
Having fun, places he goes and enjoy the best of life: I have fun with simple things. Like walking around, spending time with someone special. Movies and sometimes I love to go party and dance a lot.
The craziest (nastiest?) thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: I am good boy haha, nothing comes to my mind now.
Fav body part and why: My eyes. Don`t know. I just like them

Fav underwear for his daily activities and for those coooool sexy moments (lol!): Hahaha ok. I like to wear light color underwear and not too tight. It has to be comfortable.
Fav food: I love food. I can`t resist a lasagna and also I loooove a big salad.

Fav singer and which music he listens in his IPOD: I don’t have a favorite. I always like to find new stuff. And I am always changing the music on my IPOD. What I always have is some british rock and some electronic music
An unforgettable moment: When I first saw the snow (last year).

I am looking forward to stay some time in Europe
Main motto: Be yourself.
