Who:
Leonardo Sampaio, 188 cm / 6’2″, Brazilian, born May 7th.
Why:
Lavishly handsome Leonardo has a face and body surely honed for fashion. This Brazilian boy from the city of Sorocaba had never considered modelling but was scouted when he accompanied his brother to a model contest. Still brand new and in development, Leonardo’s commanding presence was a standout on the recent SPFW runways, where his perfect physique, carved out cheekbones and almost visceral beauty inspired awe amongst Brazil’s top designers. But Leo’s leonine presence won’t be limited to just his home country — there are plans afoot for his raw power to hit all the major fashion capitals.
