Brazilian beauty Flavia Lucini has one of the most unique scouting stories to date.
The catwalk favourite was spotted by a scout whilst she was driving her fathers tractor (!) in the small village where she lived. Now you can’t get more low key than that!
Having modelled since 2006 Flavia has an extensive portfolio of work including her first show walking exclusive for Jil Sander SS07, campaigns for Clarins, Levis, Missoni Sport, Furla, 212 Carolina Herrera and Etam plus editorials for Harpers Bazaar, Jalouse, Vogue (UK, Brazil) Glamour (Germany, Brazil), Elle (Brazil, Mexico, France) & Amica.
She is now enjoying a second wind thanks to her recently cropped hair, which saw her close Temperley and Mark Fast SS14 in September 2013.
