by Edward withJr Ottoni

He is the body and face of the new Summer 2010 fashion campaign of Zapälla, model Jr "The body" Ottoni was a smash hit in Europe after posing for the cool fashion campaign of Q Santos & Mowen. With a busy agenda and with the professional support of Duo Press Consulting http://www.duopress.com.br/index.html (thanks a lot Milton!), I had a cool chat with Jr Ottoni. And again my dear readers, I just have to tell you guys: another terrific brazilian model with a great future in his new steps. On behalf of World of Models family, we wish you good luck in your career!

Family, career and Medicine

I was born in São Paulo and I live with my famiy. I love sports and I intend to pursue my career as a model and also study Medicine too. My career as a model started when I was 14 with some invitatioons from some scouters and photographers. As a matter of fact I always enjoyed modeling world so I decided to pursue this career. It´s a fascinating world, there´s a lot of glamour and it´s so cool to be in the runways and working with the great fashion designers around the world.

Photographers, harmony, funny and unusual backstages

It´s a great moment when you work with total harmony with the photographer during the shooting. I really don´t have any previous preparation before posing to a photographer, but I try to keep calm in order to focus on the job. Runways always cause me a little bit jitteriness and anxiety but I always think to myself that everything gonna be all right (and it really works!). I´ve worked for fashion designers like Marcelu Ferraz, Paulo Carvas, Zapalla, Rockstter, New Captain, just to name a few. Unusual/funny backsage moments always happens during catwalks. In one occasion my body part was exposed to a huge audience cause my cloth I wasn´t well fixed so you can imagine the audience´s reaction (lol!). I was also interviewed by the guys from CQC http://www.band.com.br/cqc/ so you can have an idea about the uestions they ask me (lol!)

Jr Ottoni by himself

Fashionista: I always check out the new fashion tendencies but I´m not a fashionista. I’m always dressed for every occasion. When I´m not working as a model, I like to wear jeans or tracksuit

Fans: It´s very important, they give us all support for our careers. I work with the image and when we think about the celebity world I think it´s really cool to share my personal and professional projects with the fans

 

Human Rights: We live in a world of interests with different point of views, sexual behaviors and I really think that this issue must not discussed anymore because the choices we take part of our lives are striclty PERSONALS and must not interfere with the lives of other people. In other words: let´s live our lives with happiness without any prejudices at all
Sports: I´m a sports addicted guy. I love going to gym and Jiu jitsu. Now, I´m enjoying Spinning too
Having fun, places he goes to enjoy the best of life: I love to stay at home and I also go to snack bars and parties. Being with family and traveling with my friends is really amazing. We have a real good time sharing these cool moments together
Favorite singer and which music he hears in his IPOD: Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, Michael Bublé, John Mayer, Wyclef Jean, Dispatch and Ana Carolina
Fav food: Lasagna, barbecue, carpaccio, pizza, japanese food and hamburguer
Fav underwear for his daily activities and for those coooool sexy moments (lol): I wear daily boxer briefs and for those cool special moments, I wear very special black or white boxers with special details lol
Fav body part; Abs and chest. I work hard to get the best result. I think they express an essence of masculinity
Unforgettable moment: My catwak for the fashion designer Marcelu Ferraz. It was a cool sensation to open up this unforgettable catwalk in an unusual way for the whole audience
