Dear readers of Sport&Beauty. It’s been a long time since the last post we dedicated to a male model so I think it’s high time to get back over the issue. Today we’re traveling to Brazil to present one of the youngest and most successful male models of our days, Brazilian model Arthur Sales. In spite of his youth, Arthur Sales has entered the fashion world in style, and is one of the most promising male models for the short term. Dear readers, here you are Brazilian model Arthur Sales. Enjoy yourselves....
Arthur Sales Gouveia was born in 1991 in Recife, Brazil, in a family of Italian origin with Brazilian mix. Being a child, Arthur never thought about becoming a professional model and he always wanted to become a lawyer. Therefore, and upon graduating from High School, Arthur enrolled in a Law degree at the University to make his dream come true. Anyway she had kind of fashion background as when he was ten years old her mother enrolled him in a child’s beauty contest that Arthur won getting a bicycle as a prize.
Before the last pictures, we left Arthur turned into a new Law student. Do not believe that this new scenario lasted for long. One day (soon after enrolling at the University) while Arthur was working out at the gym he was approached by a friend of his who persuaded him to take part in a fashion show in his hometown and after the show accompanied Arthur to EP modeling agency. Arthur was a bit reluctant in the beginning as he knew nothing about the fashion world but he thought it would be an easy way to make some money to pay the student loans he had been granted.
Said and done. No sooner had the Brazilian model trudged the catwalk when Arthur’s agent, Elizabeth Pontes, began to search for contracts until she got one for him in Milan. This is the way it all started. As it usually happens, Arthur’s first assignments were catalogue photo shoots until June 2009 when the Brazilian model was hired to walk for DSquared 2 in Milan and later to work together with Canadian model Daria Werbowy in DSquared 2 2010 Spring ad campaign. Besides signing a contract with DSquared 2, Arthur became the image of men’s swimwear brand “Butch”. While at DSquared 2’s backstage, Arthur was approached by a man who resulted to be Vanity Fair’s director that started taking pictures of him. In a few days, Arthur started to pose for an editorial of Vanity Fair together with Colombian singer Shakira who, according to Arthur, is a really nice girl.
