He´s only 17 and has been attracting a huge attention on fashion world. According Models.com http://www.models.com/models/Marlon-Teixeira, he is in  the top 50 male models and despite of his young age, Marlon Teixeira has already worked for well respected and worldwide famous designers like Dior, Kris Van Ashe, Karl Lagerfeld, the photographers Steven Klein, Mariano Vivanco, Terry Richardson, and campaigns for Armani Jeans, Custo Barcelona, Sergio K. And it was a real ‘tour de force’ to schedule an interview with him because of his busy agenda. But you guys know me and I never give up he he he and here´s my exclusive interview that I´m proud to share with all entire World of Models family. Many many thanks to my buddies of Way Model Management Márcio Garcês and Fábio Bechepeche (you buys rock!!!). That´s Marlon´s mother agency and without them this interview wouldn´t be possible.   So, ladies and gentlemen, there comes Marlon Teixeira!


From Balneário Camboriú to the main modeling places around the world!


 Hello World of Models family. I´m Marlon Teixeira, a 17 year-old-guy from Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina  http://www.braziltour.com/site/en/cidades/materia.php?id_cidade=8795 , one of the coolest places to live in Brasil. I´m the average guy, I enjoy friendship and I have a peculiar style of the ‘catarinenses’ (the inhabitants of Santa Catarina´s state). I got discovered by Anderson Baugartner, the owner of Way Model Management in São Paulo http://www.waymodel.com.br. I was introduced to him once I arrived in São Paulo, he is also from Santa Catarina and guess what, it´s a great coincidence we got a degree of kinship between our families.
What I like most about modeling is to be able to visit new places around the world, meet new cultures, life styles and I always like to travel. Recently for the first time, I posed for the lens of photographer Steven Klein, an editorial for W magazine and in this essay I was the boyfriend of actress Jennifer Goldin. It was cool working with Steven. There was another model with us too and we did very sensual shootings (also we had to kiss each other). At the beginning I felt real strange about the situation, but then I just let it go, cause what it really matters was the team of very talented professionals working together.


Kris Van Ashe and Dior Homme


I just did 2 catwalks in Paris for Kris Van Ashe and Dior Homme. I got an exclusive contract with Dior and it ends in june, so I´ll be able to be in others catwalks, like Milan, for example and Brasil. By the way, I´ve never been in brazilian fashion weeks.


Beauty, stylish, professionalism


I got my own style concerning my likes about clothing, I like to wear jeans, white T shirt and flip flops.  I always check what´s on about fashion, that´s my world. Yep, beauty and professionalism really helps in a career
When I´m home, I enjoy surfing on Praia Brava beach, located in Itajái. I also go to Kiwi, a mix of restaurant and a place where you have real good time


An unforgettable and very special moment:


My exclusive contract with Dior
