Fernando Lessi: “I was wearing a very small underwear and so excited to enter the catwalk that..hmmm I couldn´t walk the catwalk folks cause I was really excited lol”

28 Jun, 2012

Thanks for the ride! I´m Fernando Mataresio and I was born in Auriflama, a little city located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

I´m a cool guy that never give up on my dreams. I focus on my goals!

How did all begin

As a matter of fact, I wanted to be an actor,but things have changed when I participated in Elite model look 2004. My first shooting was with photographer Carlo Locatelli and i loved the result!

I got signed to Elite models Brazil and I intend to work here and abroad too. Hopefully in the following months, so fingers crossed!

Working with photographers: posed naked already?

First off, professionalism and then good vibes. So, I just relax and let it flows!

If I ever posed naked? Not now, but I´d posed naked for a famous fashion campaign.

The catwalks experiences

I remember in my first show I was wearing a very small underwear and so excited to enter the catwalk that..hmmmmm I couldn´t walk the catwalk folks cause as I told u guys before, I was really excited lol lol lol!!. So I had to calm down and relax and then there came Fernando Mataresio nice and coooool lol lol! I never forgot this moment!

Despite I´m a commercial model I´ve already walked for Carlo Corinto, Scapinno and Carolina Herrera. Another funny moment was in Mexico where my group opened the show with acrobatic leaps in the catwalk and doing some capoeira´s movements.

A fashionista?

Not at all, I usually wear basic clothes, shorts and my havaianas too!

Imagine u a famous model surrounded by a huge crowd!

Have you ever heard that expression: “once in hell, the Devil hugs” or how my make-ups and producers friends say “se joga”, So,Just smile and give hugs to everyone!!

Show biz, fame, success and the most important things for his life

The show business is necessary for us! Fame and success for me is to be recognized for your professionalism. It means that u´ve reached your goals Family,

Most important things for me are friends, health, love and peace
