INFO

Model Alexandre Verga, a favourite of renowned photographer Bruce Weber, has done shoots for Abercrombie & Fitch and for the Guess catalogue in New York.

His plans for living overseas (from Brazil) were changed after the World Trade Center attacks on September 11.

"My apartment was five kilometers from the towers," he says. "It was horrible; besides fear, work disappeared."

His first trip to the USA was in 1994, when Verga lived in Orlando with his family, in hopes of having a better life. His father, an airline pilot, was not able to establish himself in the USA and, after a while, decided to return to Brasil and continue his career as a pilot.
Verga remained in the US, but also returned home in 1999. At this time, he met an agent that brought him back to the United States, only this time to New York. After travelling to China, Milan and Germany, Alexandre worked like never before for his Brasilian clients.

"I had no time for anything, only work and trying to have a little fun at the beach."

While travelling he liked getting to know the places he visited and learn about the local cultures. "I was in Milan and I didn't have much to do, so I learned juggling with a friend and we had a lot of fun."

Despite his youth and his short career, Verga has already learned his first lesson. "Right when I started working, I was paid in dollars and wasted everything," he says. "I still don't know anything about my future, but I'm saving, keeping it to be able to think about it with sufficient calm."
When the subject of his heart arises, he responds with a short laughs and sentences, but he reveals: "I work and I travel a lot, but I can't find a girlfriend, but I always find special people along the way."

BIOGRAPHY

Bruno Santos is a Brazilian model. He is the only male model who was selected to carry out two campaigns simultaneously for two competing fashion houses, Versace and Giorgio Armani.
Bruno grew up with three brothers and one sister, and held many jobs since the age 12, including construction and farmwork. He was an engineering student before he became a model, and taught math as a side job during his schooling.
Bruno had not considered modeling as a career, but in 2000, his girlfriend, who was modeling at the time, introduced him to her agency. The agency agreed to pay for his expenses to try out in Europe,[citation needed] but Bruno was working full-time and didn't take the offer seriously. But the agency and his friends eventually changed Bruno's mind about modeling.

Bruno recently left Request Model Management (the agency that launched his career in New York) and signed with Wilhelmina Models. He is also with Visage Management in Zurich (Switzerland).
