France/Brazil, the steps of Olivier in the fashion world!
I was born in France and I came to Brazil with my parents in 1977. My personal interests are Music ( I play the piano ) reading and sports ( Swimming and Tenis). I lived in Rio / São Paulo and I studied at the Liceu Pasteur in Sâo Paulo and Franco Brasileiro in Rio. When I was around 14 years old, I was called by a friend at school to do some participation in TV commercials (soft drink, ice cream, gums etc) and then I never stoped. I did a lot of TV commercials. I worked as a model in Europe, then as an agent in Paris and New York. I came back to Brazil in 2000 and worked at Elite São Paulo during 5 years. In April 2005 I opened my own agency Lumiere Models http://www.lumieremodels.com.br
Business, Glamour, Discipline... "Le classisme traverse le temps"
Fashion is a business. Glamour is the showcase. I see this market as a very professional and organized world. It´s my job. Conceerning the fashion tendencies nowadays, ' Le classisime traverse le temps'. The tendencies in these moments of crisis, are sure values and rentabilities.
The key of success: Discipline, 'Pé no chão' (as you brazilians say), Work, Work, Work, Ethics, Focus and PATIENCE. Nowadays with all this economic crisis we are living, only great models can do great things the rest has lost its spice. Client is THE BOSS.
I´ve worked closely with Eva Herzigova, Laeticia Casta, Adriana Lima for years and they all have in common a great charisma, big hearts and DISCIPLINE.
