Solange Wilvert

[idée fixe]

Chic: Como você virou modelo?
Solange: Sou de uma cidade pequena na grande Florianópolis. Aos 14 anos, participei de um casting na escola, mas falaram que eu era muita magra. Mesmo assim, tiraram fotos minhas e levaram o material para a Eskimo, de Santa Catarina, minha agência até hoje.

Chic: Já disseram que você lembra a Kate Moss...
Solange: Às vezes, acho que os olhos e a boca lembram um pouco mesmo.

Chic: Qual é a melhor coisa e a pior de ser modelo?
Solange: A melhor é a possibilidade de viajar, conhecer pessoas e lugares que você nunca imaginou. A pior: sapato apertado e mudar de maquiagem o várias vezes ao dia. Minha pele é sensível e fica toda irritada. Também não gosto de desfilar de vestido longo. Quase caí três vezes na última temporada de moda em Nova York.

Chic: Que trabalho você ainda quer fazer?
Solange: Abrir algum desfile importante, como Calvin Klein ou Gucci.

Chic: Você consegue namorar, mesmo com a rotina puxada de modelo?
Solange: Eu não namoro, estou mais preocupada com a minha carreira. Não saio à noite, enquanto todas as modelos vão a festas. Eu e a Carol Trentine, que também não gosta de badalação, ficamos em casa.

Chic: O que você faz com seu dinheiro?
Solange: Guardo e ajudo a minha família. Meu pai é pedreiro e agricultor, minha mãe é dona-de-casa.

Chic: O que você gosta de fazer quando não está trabalhando?
Solange: Passear no Central Park e comprar brinquedos para meu primo e para meus irmãos. Também compro para mim. Adoro bichinhos de pelúcia, tenho vários.

Chic: Quais são as modelos que você admira?
Solange: Adoro a Gisele, a Kate Moss e as minhas amigas Jeísa e Carol Trentine.

Chic: Quais são os fotógrafos e estilistas que você gosta?
Solange: Gosto de vários fotógrafos: Mario Testino, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti... Você acredita que ainda não trabalhei com o Steven Meisel? Dos estilistas, amo o Lagerfeld. Ele sempre apostou em mim. Fiquei super nervosa quando fui a noiva do último desfile de alta-costura da Chanel. O vestido era pesado e longo. Fiquei suando, mas deu tudo certo. O desfile foi lindo.

Chic: Que trabalhos seus estão para sair?
Solange: Campanhas para CK, Jill Stuart e Gucci e também editoriais na Vogue Itália, Paris e América e na V Magazine.

Chic: Quando você virá ao Brasil a trabalho?
Solange: Quero muito fazer o próximo SPFW em janeiro. Vamos ver se consigo.

[*_Thais_*]

so nice!!! she´s friend of Carol... and don´t like partys!

I like this interview...

and she doesn´t like long dress??!!! poor thing! thank you God that she didn´t fall ..

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^Can you translate the whole thing Thais??

 

[yourbestfriend]

why can't she smile at all? what,millions of dollars isn't something to smile about,poor spoiled Brazilian brat..

Money dosent make you happy. Why does she have to smile, she can smile when shes feeling like she has a reaosn to smile. Why have fake smiles?

useless, and shes not making millions either.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I think all the speculation about her age can end I asked Solange's real-life friend Ana (Who runs her fanflog) about her age and birthdate, and she confirmed the date listed on solangewilvert.com, which is September 1st, 1989. This means she's 16 right now

But wow does she look mature beyond her age...

ouch! its not like she has to smile in every photo. and plus if you look for other photos (i can think of a few backstage ones off the top of my head), you'll find that she does smile. but like ybf said, it's not like money makes one happy.

Stunning! Esp. the 5th pic, top row.

Thanks, pandinha!

 

[Moofins]

She is very skeeny, and I like her...but....Sometimes she looks way too plain for me. Given that it depends on the photographer, because sometimes I love how she looks.

 

[mundodabolsa]

Just for you Faith, here's a quickie translation....


Chic: How did you become a model?
S: I’m from a small town in the metropolitan area of Florianopolis. When I was 14, I took part in a casting at school but they told me I was too skinny. Even so, they took my pictures and took them to Eskimo in Santa Catarina, which is still my agency today.

Chic: It’s been said that you evoke Kate Moss…
S: Sometimes, I think my eyes and mouth are indeed similar to hers.

Chic: What’s the best, and worst thing about being a model?
S: The best is having the opportunity to travel and get to know more people and places than you could have ever imagined. The worst: tight shoes and having to redo makeup several times a day. I have sensitive skin and it gets all irritated. I also don’t like walking in long dresses/evening gowns. I almost fell three times during the last shows season in NY.

Chic: What work do you still hope to do?
S: I want to open an important show, like Calvin Klein or Gucci.

Chic: Are you able to date, even with your busy modeling schedule?
S: No, I don’t date, I’m more concerned with my career. I don’t go out at night either, while all the other models go to parties. Myself, and Carol Trentini, who also doesn’t like craziness, stay home.

Chic: What do you do with your money?
S: Save and help my family. My father is a mason and my mom is a homemaker.

Chic: What do you like to do when you’re not working?
S: Stroll through Central Park and buy toys for my cousins and brother. I also buy for myself, I love stuffed animals, I’ve got lots.

Chic: What models do you admire?
S: I love Gisele, and Kate Moss, and my friends Jeisa and Carol Trentini.

Chic: Who are the photographers and designers you most admire?
S: I like lots of photographers: Mario Testino, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti….can you believe I still haven’t worked with Steven Meisel? Of the designers, I love Lagerfeld. He always believed in me. I was super nervous when I was the bride in the last Chanel haute couture show. The dress was heavy and long. I was sweating, but everything ended up ok. The show was beautiful.

Chic: What work have you done that hasn’t come out yet?
S: Campaigns for CK, Jill Stuart, and Gucci, and editorials for Vogue Italia, Paris, and America, and for V Magazine.

C: When will you come to Brasil to work?
S: I really want to do the next Sao Paulo Fashion Week, we’ll see if I can.

[Faith Akiyama]

Thanks so much mundo!!

And jules - no, I don't know Sorry!

 

[julesrules815]

when was that interview published? if it is very recent, doesn't that mean that she has the Fall 2006 campaigns for ck, gucci and jill stuart?

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^No, it was definitely done before the FW05 campaigns She walked at Sao Paulo for FW06 (In regards to the last question), and we've already seen all those campaigns of hers ^^

 

[julesrules815]

oh yeah..duh!

 

[*Princesse*]

I love Solange! She's completely gorgeous, and seems so sweet, and a little shy, which is endearing. I can't believe she's only a year older than me! So beautiful. Her eyes, lips, and cheekbones are all gorgeous. Some magazine or other that I was flipping through named her as the model to watch in 2006, I can't remember which off hand, but it wasn't your typical high fashion magazine, which means Solange is also getting attention outside of the direct modeling world.
