A random raquel interview i found. it has a few new things worth reading in it.

as usual im translating from portugese so it wont be word perfect. the link to the portugese version will be at the bottom for the brazilians.

Raquel Zimmermann, the Brazilian top of the time
Gucci by Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Versace, Valentino, Chanel, Calvin Klein... They are some of the famous designs for the which the top gaucho Raquel Zimmermann, of 24 years, already lent their beautiful face in the last few years. It is hard to find a campaign she hasn't done? We go to other campaigns that she stamped, the dream of any model with an ambition of a international career: Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix. In Brazil, La Zimmermann is exclusive to Animale. She was shot by the photographer Henrique Gendre for the new campaign of the label, that will be shown this month, embodying the spirit of Thelma & Louise, a film by Ridley Scott.
It is more than the quantity, but the quality of the works of that she participated in that raised her to the top of the rankings of models.com, a site with reference to the listing of the models most important in the world. In the last year, she has jumped from fifth place to second position on the list. She has only stayed behind the Australian model Gemma Ward. But as she is a Brazilian and never gives up, she does not discard, one day, to reach the top. 'It is important for me, I find that for any model, because the ranking is the reference to the world of models', says the beautiful one.
It has taken ten years for the little girl of Porto Alegre, Brazil who left her home town for a career in São Paulo to gain the present status of the top Brazilian model in world fashion. At 14 years old, she caught a bus and left her city, because people had said that had a good look for a model. She decided to try her luck and, who knows, perhaps become the new Shirley Mallmann, a model of the time.
She shot pictures for the teen magazine Capricho and her first international work was in Japan. 'But what I do consider the true start of my career was when I was photographed by Steven Meisel for the Vogue Italy', she remembers. 'After Vogue Italy, and the opening of the show and campaign of Prada, I begin to do important work.'
In the beginning, la Zimmermann had her godfathers. The two main people: the photographer Meisel and Miuccia Prada, the all-powerful of the Italian designer that put her in the opening of the show and in the Prada campaign. Without a mention the photographer and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, with who she appeared in the closing of the parade of the Chanel, in Paris. 'Karl is very special for me and I today consider him like a godfather. Whenever he calls me for some work, I give priority to him.'
She also fell in the graces of the director David Lynch, who directed the advertising film of the perfume Gucci by Gucci, starring her. ' It was incredible especially to work with Lynch. I imagine architectural details of a building in Paris, with rooms created specially for the filming. And he explained me exactly the kind of emotion that he wanted that I transmitted for the camera. It was sensational.'
At present, Raquel is part of the top castings of the agency TEN Models and lives, with her husband, the photographer Ruy Sanchez Blanco, in new york. Owner of a classical beauty, she believes that her differential is more in the attitude and in versatility than in her apparent image. We say, then, that be the assembly of the work. 'I find that the willpower is the most greatest secret of defeat. To survive. It involves the way that you work, more than your beauty. More than the availability, it is the arrangement of the model.'
But a top model also has there moments of rest, though there are few. This is when she likes to play guitar and plan for think of what she wants of her life in the future: to study faculty of graphic design or history of the art and, by that not, do movies. As Gisele Bündchen already did. Speaking of Gisele, Raquel, as well as with other tops, refers to her colleague of way barely reverencial. 'Gisele was, is and always will be in force because she is unique. As top model or as celebrity.'
Raquel raises the flag of a healthy life, without radicalisms. She finds that the anorexia is a problem that deserves attention, especially to the parents and agencies. 'But I find also that the girls themselves must make herself aware that the profession alone functions will go healthy', teaches. 'Model is born with the biology of model, and is going to eat healthy food or take care of herself same that transform-her in a top model. If she will not go healthy, she will not obtain work.'
