Spreading joy, Raquel Zimmermann walks around SPFW.

Top number one of the world, according to Models.com, Raquel Zimmermann is at SPFW to walk exclusively for Animale. “It's a big pleasure to come back to Brazil”, she said in the crowded backstage. Raquel was wearing a shirt with Barack Obama's face and a purse given to her as a gift from the top designer Karl Lagerfeld. Very friendly, she posed and smiled for the photographers. Unlikely Agyness Deyn…

In the backstage, the top showed simplicity. When asked about the effects the number one spot at Models.com had on her life, she said: “Personally, it didn't change anything. Professionally, I've been working like crazy”. This wednesday's fashion show at SPFW is her eightth season with Animale. Besides that, Raquel recently closed a deal with the japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido. “They went to New York looking for an asian looking girl. I don't have anything asian, but they wanted to hire me anyway”, she told, her fist time in a cosmetics campaign.

Surrounded by reporters, pressioned by her agent - that wanted to start the make-up so the show wouldn't be late -, Raquel wasn't worried. She told she loves barbecue, that she loves walking in Brazil because she gets to see all of her friends and that she always gets nervous before walking the runways here. “I thought it wouldn't happen because I'm used to do it, but I'm from here, right?”, she justified.​

Her recipe to become a successfull model is simple: “You gotta have discipline and take the job seriously. A model's life is not a party. You gotta be professional, arrive on time”. When asked what did she miss, Raquel didn't think twice. “I'd like to spend more time with my family, but I can't. I arrived today, I walk the show, the next days I'll be shooting and then I leave”, she said. Saturday night she goes to Paris, where she'll be in a photoshoot. She'll also walk the couture week, that goes from january 26th to 29th.​

I really hope we get that video on the internet so everybody can watch it!


And another article/interview:

Raquel Zimmermann just arrived at SPFW, where she walks later for Animale. Wearing black jeans, a Obama shirt and a leather jacket, the top received Chic for an interview in her exclusive dressing room, before she started her make-up. Take a look:

Today Agyness Deyn was here and the press was mad at her because she didn't say a word. What do you think about people always wanting to know your point of view?
I think it's great. I'm honored to know there are people wanting to know what I think about things. The models' fame is so bad, and because of that it's good that we can express, and show what we have to say. (Great answer! B))

What comes next, when the modelling career ends?
I want to study arts and travel a lot. I've always been interested in arts in general, so I intend to learn more about that, take a lot of courses and go to museums all over the world.

Could you describe in one word these five important names in the fashion industry, who you work with all the time?
Of course!

Terry Richardson: “ousado” - (I don't know the word for this in english, but it means someone who is not affraid of doing new things)

Carine Roitfeld: "suuuuper chic"

Karl Lagerfeld: “intelectual”

The team of photographers Inez & Vinoodh: "super criative"

I finally finish it
And thiago mello, ousar in English is to dare, so I think it would be dared.

Raquel Zimmermann became a model at 14, when a scouter found her, randomly, at Bom Retiro do Sul, in Rio Grande do Sul. Today, with more than one decade of career, the gaúcha (girl from south Brazil) is the model number 1 of the world, according to Models.com list. Raquel came to SPFW especially for walking for Animale, brand that closes all the events today. And she stays here for a little time. “I would love to enjoy the theaters, the restaurants, the museums of São Paulo, but my schedule doesn’t allow me”, she complains.
The beautiful model, that is an obligatory face in the international fashion weeks, already walked for brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, YSL, Prada and Marc Jacobs. As if it wasn’t enough, she has campaigns for Escada, Max Mara, TSE, H&M, GAP and Louis under her belt.
The secret of so much success she resumes in a few words. “I always look for being as much professional as possible”.

Short Talk with the top model

Even being worldwide recognized, Raquel is not the kind of person that is seduced by fame. She tells her routine with her family without half words, gives beauty secrets and doesn’t change the subject of the conversation even when she’s asked about a supposed rivalry with Gisele Bündchen. An example for a lot of new girls.

Holidays in Brazil: “I love relaxing on the beach and jockeying”.
Best friend: Luciana Curtis.
Beauty Secret: “I use na amazing hydrant cream from Shiseido and, on the hair, the treatment line from Kérastase”.
Style: “I love denim and leather jacket. I think it’s super sexy”.
Raquel x Gisele: “We’re work colleagues and I respect her very much, for me she’s a source of inspiration. But each one has her own space. There’s no reason for comparison.”

When all the journalists thought Raquel Zimmermann would dissapear after walking the Animale show – like the british Agyness Deyn did this wednesday (21) – the top number 1 of the world appeared at SPFW's press room willing to answer all the questions.


Mixing words of portuguese and english, the blonde talks about her models.com title, about Barack Obama, and about how normal it is to show brests on the runway. Take a look:

What do you think of the collection of the brand you just walked for?
I think the show was absolutely amazing, it's great when a brand knows how to promote the combination of a good collection, perfect soundtrack and good models on the runway. I loved to ran into some old friends like Mari Weickert, and Giane Albertoni. I really like fashion that like to dare.

How do you feel about wearing see-through outfits?
For me this is totally normal. I go to french beaches and it's normal to go topless. People think that's so weird in Brasil... Maybe the brazilians are more conservative.

You've been living in New York for over ten years and you're wearing a Obama shirt. Do you think he's the solution to the american crisis?
I really liked his speech. It was very realistic. He made it clear it's going to take a while to fix things on the country, after all it's a big crisis. But I'm optimistic. Unfortunately I couldn't vote because I'm not american... I would have liked to participate in a such a historic moment.

Did you watch any shows here at SPFW?
I heard about Ronaldo Fraga's show and I thought it was amazing. It was inovating to put the elderly and the children on the runway. After all, fashion is not made only for thin and tall women.

How is it like to be no1? Are you compared to Gisele Bündchen?
This title is not a weight for me, not a pression. It's a joy, a trophy that means having my work recognized. I don't think there's any comparasion between Gisele and I. We're two different women, with different trajectorys.

I hate how here they compare EVERY model with Gisele It's annoying.
