Happy Saturday y’all — hope your week was less hectic than mine, but we push through regardless.
I started reading a book on Che Guevara yesterday and realized everything I thought I knew about this man was wrong. First of all, he was Argentine; did you know that? I didn’t. Secondly, more than a communist he was against imperialism and the US. Lastly, I learned he was killed by Bolivian mercenaries trained by the CIA with the sole goal of annihilating him. Very interesting. You never stop learning I guess.
Anyway, let’s get into this week’s photodump.
Milan, June 2015 — On the set of Sunnei’s FW15 campaign shot by Bruna Kazinoti. Back then, the brand had just started and I was helping them out as a friend-collaborator. The struggle was real but everything was more fun.
Milan, June 2015 — My very first published article. Did not know what I was doing really. Mundial offered the opportunity and I took it by the horns! Crazy to think my first official interview was with Totò Schillaci. This piece jumpstarted my writing career. I am forever grateful to Calum Gordon.
Milan, June 2015 — Very hilarious moment during Fashion Week. I was at a Marcelo Burlon show and Future was there. At the time, I was obsessed with him. I mean not literally, but you get the gist. Had to get the pic! I walked up to him as he was leaving and well..this iconic selfie was taken.
Alpago, Italy, July 2015 — An old lady sunbathing at a lake in Veneto, I don’t quite remember the name of the site. I was there visiting one of my best friends, Alessandro, at his family house. We had lots of fun. He now lives in Paris and is an established designer. We are still great friends!
Milan, August 2015 — Backstage from a fashion editorial I did for Mundial magazine, back when football + fashion wasn’t a thing. Still love this shoot to this day!
