Stars like Bella Hadid, Hoyeon, Vittoria Ceretti, Selena Forrest, and Sora Choi, to name a few, have all taken part in the milestone series that uniquely marks the shift in a model&#8217;s career.

Growing up, she never imagined herself as a model or even capable of breaking out on the global stage. Bullied as a child, she didn\u2019t see the career as an option until a mall visit in a nearby city changed everything. There, she was scouted, entered a contest, and won. The key moment gave her the confidence to pursue what once felt impossible. In her first season, Perote walked over 30 shows, opening the Fendi F\/W 24 show, which later led to her campaign appearance for the brand photographed by Steven Meisel. Since then, the Top 50 model has appeared on the covers of D Repubblica, M Le magazine du Monde, and System Beauty, among others, collaborating with photographers like Rafael Pavarotti, Robin Galiegue, and Juergen Teller.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pic40\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/008_2528_V4_HR_4x5_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67060\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\nHat &#8211; Anonymous designer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_atours_\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atours<\/a> | Dress &#8211; <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/balmain\">Balmain<\/a><br \/>\nLeather jacket &#8211; CLAUDE MONTANA VINTAGE at PRECLOTHED | Earrings &#8211; CAMILLE SURAULT\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">&#8220;When you\u2019re confident and know where you\u2019re going, everything becomes easier because you\u2019re not trying to be anyone else.&#8221; <\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 columns\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/008_2528_V4_HR_4x5_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67061\" \/>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 columns\">\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/007_2391_V2_HR_4x5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67056\" \/>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\n  Left: Hat &#8211; Anonymous designer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_atours_\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atours<\/a> | Dress &#8211; <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/balmain\">Balmain<\/a><br \/>\nLeather jacket &#8211; CLAUDE MONTANA VINTAGE at PRECLOTHED | Earrings &#8211; CAMILLE SURAULT<br \/>\nRight: Hat &#8211; CHANEL VINTAGE at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_atours_\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atours<\/a> | Hooded bodysuit &#8211; ALAIA VINTAGE at PRECLOTHED | Tights &#8211; <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/falke\">Falke<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\nAdjusting to the pace of her new career wasn\u2019t easy. Family-oriented and deeply close to home, Perote admits the distance was tough at first and the show season pace can be brutal for even the most Teflon of immune systems. Reflecting on what she would tell her younger self, she expressed \u201cThe most clich\u00e9d saying is to be yourself, but it\u2019s true. There are so many people in the industry, and what really captivates others is your personality and authenticity. When you\u2019re confident and know where you\u2019re going, everything becomes easier because you\u2019re not trying to be anyone else.\u201d From being named a Top Newcomer in F\/W 24 to now earning the title of Graduate, Perote reflects on her journey with gratitude. \u201cFor me, it was worth it because the road wasn\u2019t easy,\u201d she explains. \u201cBack in Brazil, when I was first starting, it all seemed so distant. I used to go to bed every day dreaming about being here today. When I was in the Amazon, I had nothing that I have now. Even though it was hard, it was worth it. Thank God I didn\u2019t give up.\u201d\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"small-12 columns\" id=\"thumbs\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<h2>The Graduates<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"small-block-grid-2 medium-block-grid-7\" id=\"thumbsul\">\n<li id=\"thumb-ajus-samuel\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-ajus-samuel\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/011_2969_V2_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/011_3140_V3_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Ajus Samuel<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-gaye-serigne\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-gaye-serigne\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/010_2804_V2_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/gaye-square-237px.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Gaye Serigne<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-jiahui-zhang\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-jiahui-zhang\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/004_1502_V2_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/003_1373_V5_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Jiahui Zhang<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-libby-taverner\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-libby-taverner\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/001_0766_V4_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/001_0899_V3_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Libby Taverner<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-luiza-perote\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-luiza-perote\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/008_2447_V4_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/007_2391_V2_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n        Luiza Perote<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-rosalieke-fuchs\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-rosalieke-fuchs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/005_1649_V4_HR_1x11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/005_1904_V4_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n       Rosalieke Fuchs<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"thumb-sara-caballero\"><a href=\"\/mdx\/the-graduates-sara-caballero\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/sara-square-237px.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2025\/11\/014_4025_V3_HR_1x11.jpg\" style=\"display:none\"\/><br \/>\n       Sara Caballero<br \/>\n      <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ bottom\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\n$(\"[id^='thumb-']\").hover(function() {\n    $(this).find('img').toggle();\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Graduates Luiza Perote For the past decade, Models.com&#8217;s The Graduates series has been a visual check-in with the models of the moment who have consistently performed at the highest levels, going from the rising newcomers on the Hot List to the Top 50 recognizable muses throughout the world.
