href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/Select-Model-Management'>Select Model Management (London)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong><br \/>\n18<\/p>\n<p><strong>Height:<\/strong><br \/>\n186.5 (6&#8217;1&#8243;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place of Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\nStockwell, South London, England<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethnic Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00bd Venezuelan \u00bd British<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birthsign:<\/strong><br \/>\nCancer<\/p>\n<p><strong>How discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was lucky enough to do the Lanvin A\/W 14 campaign through my then girlfriend, Olympia Campbell. A friend of mine, Ben Allen, then took me into Select and with that under my wing they put me on their books :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nListening to music, playing music (couldn&#8217;t live without my instruments), dancing and just generally hanging out with close friends. Also travelling, it\u2019s always fun to be somewhere you&#8217;ve never been before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite music, band:<\/strong><br \/>\nAHh all music really but if I have to be specific probably grunge, punk, Brit pop and everything in between! My favorite band is definitely Sonic Youth and then probably Talking Heads, Beatles and Nirvana!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe two movies I watch again and again are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Ferris Bueller&#8217;s Day Off. I don\u2019t watch much TV but the one program I really got addicted to was the American Office. Dwight must be my all time favorite character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf I&#8217;m completely honest I don&#8217;t really think about these things, at least not fragrance and beauty. I buy the majority of my clothes from Ben Sherman, Kooples and Carhartt so those are the brands I feel comfortable wearing and fit my style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell I\u2019m studying at the LSE at the moment so would probably try work a bit harder and just get that done well. I also play in band, which is something I would love to give a lot more time to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nI adore Mariah Carey to be honest. I suppose that\u2019s really uncool. I also find archeology fascinating \u2013 again probably not the coolest thing but who\u2019s to say anyway!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor me it was the shows just gone. The Topman show was my first so it was pretty exciting and when you&#8217;ve got a good group of people around you it\u2019s hard not to have fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nKeeping busy. I love getting out of London but after a while I miss the hustle and bustle. It\u2019s also my home and always has been. What could be better than home and especially your mum&#8217;s cooking? I think your own mum\u2019s cooking is always the best. Visiting Venezuela is always great \u2013 It really feels like paradise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat\u2019s a tricky one. I would love to model for Paul Smith because I love the clothes. I had a lot of fun and felt very comfortable working with Tim Walker so it would be great to meet him again. Walking for brands like Saint-Laurent or Dior would obviously be incredible but I know so little about fashion that I would love to walk for lots of smaller brands and get to know more and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nPatagonia simply because it looks like the most beautiful place in the world. Tokyo is also high on my list \u2013 hopefully I\u2019ll get to go sometime soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nJust doing things! Between university, my music and modeling I always feel like I\u2019m getting something done which for me is definitely a positive and quite a new feeling. Although with my newfound productivity has also come a new obsession with sleep. Doing nothing can sometimes just be the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fan of Sonic Youth, Ferris Bueller&#8217;s Day Off, and Mariah Carey, Mateo Vilanueva Brandt, 18, from South London, is the latest newcomer to nab Model of the Week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":41565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,11],"tags":[3051,70,69],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41562"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41562"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41571,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41562\/revisions\/41571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
