glamurama.com.brEverything's ready for Raquel Zimmermann's arrival in Brazil. The top arrives in São Paulo on june 11th, the day before Animale's show at SPFW, and goes straight to Fasano Hotel, where the suite she usually stays is being prepared. On her welcome package prepared by the hotel, white and beige roses and many cheese breads.
* "I just arrived from Hawaii, my days there were incredible, I got a tan, surfed... I'm really looking forward to going back to Brazil and happy that the show is going to be in the afternoon. I think that, this time, I'll get to ride my bike in the park”, she says. “It will be good to remember the beginning of my career. When I was in São Paulo in january, I got to ride the bike around Jardins, I ran into some friends and went places I like to go when I have free time".
* Raquel comes without her boyfriend Ruy Sanchez Blanco and, right after the show, she'll go to Paris to shoot for a campaign still kept in secret. The model plans to shoot the Animale campaign the week after. "I miss everybody. Just wait that I'll be there soon", she said.

Raquel gets spotted quite often shooting on the streets no? 

models.comMDC: Tell us a bit about the McQueen campaign - what was it like working with the snakes?
D: Alexander McQueen was an incredible person, god rest his soul. I really love working with creative people like that and just being in the studio with them. Raquel is amazing as well, that month I think I spent every Friday with Raquel and it ended in that crescendo of her being covered in 20 or 30 snake; boa constrictors, Indian pythons, there were all kinds. At the beginning of it I literally couldn’t go anywhere near them, 20 hours later at 4 in the morning I was pulling handfuls of snakes out of Raquel’s hair because they kept nestling in the back. I built up the courage to pull those snakes out of her and it was a great experience. The final product looked amazing, I think Nick Knight did an incredible job with the movie.
MDC: Who are some models that you think have great hair?
D: They’ve all got great hair after I’ve done it! I think Raquel’s got amazing hair, from what she’s put it through with color changes and all the shows that she does. Raquel’s got the kind of hair that I like to work with; it has tension to it, it has life. Every girl is different, but if the hair is a little more knackered it actually helps us a bit more.
MDC: Have you ever given any models crazy haircuts? D: Crazy haircuts? The thing is a lot of the time you don’t actually get to cut the girl’s hair; you’re cutting hair that you’ve added or you’re cutting a wig. If I end up cutting someone’s hair off I end up getting into a lot of trouble, because a lot of big girls with contracts they need to look a certain way. It would be wrong for me and wrong for them. I did give Raquel’s pink hair for Vogue once and that was quite a big deal for me. Taking a girl’s who’s known for having this beautiful platinum hair and to have her allowing me to make such a drastic change was great. Then Anna running the picture with her hair pink, that was pretty good fun!
