Thiago, our new Christian Dior star
New York Fashion Week just wrapped, and few made a bigger splash than our own Thiago Santos. Fresh off his stunning recent debut in Paris where he famously opened and closed the Dior show, he had tongues wagging and the press buzzing. Everybody loves it when a new star is born.
Thiago seems to have the knack for being in the right place, right time. A few months ago he left Brazil for a brief visit to his uncle in Dallas; he stumbled into a ProScout interview session being held there. Scouts took notice of his look and personality – next moment he’s shaking hands with every top fashion agency.
Thiago in his first test shoots, NYC; just one week after being discovered at ProScout.
David Ralph from New York Models flew him to NYC the following weekend. Top photogs and designers loved him, Steven Meisel requested him. Look for him to break out big in the weeks and months ahead. When you conquer two of the worlds biggest fashion weeks your first month out, folks back home are proud.
Thiago opens and closes the prestigious Dior Show (Paris, 2009).
