Brazilian models advance in national fashion competitions

Several young Brazilian models are advancing in the national fashion market through high-stakes competitions and talent development programs.

In the first edition of 'The Youth' national contest, organized by the Thinkers agency, finalists Gabriel Graviola and Natalia Stein are competing for prizes totaling over R$ 500,000 in professional contracts and opportunities. The agency involved represents major brands such as Adidas, C&A, and Natura.

Additionally, Emanoel Freitas and Amanda Veimrober, participants from the Periferia do Futuro Institute, were selected from approximately 900 candidates for a partnership with Tinkers in São Paulo. Directed by Carlos Cruz, the institute focuses on training and integrating talent from peripheral communities into the fashion and creative economy sectors to promote social transformation and professional opportunities.
