If you’re already in love with Marlon Teixeira, you’ll be delighted to read that he loves cooking for romantic dinners, dreams of getting married and having babies, and is serious about sunscreen and yoga. If you’re not already in love with Marlon Teixeira, we recommend you check out H&M’s new summer campaign first.
The Brazilian model entered the fashion industry with a bang. As a teenager, his grandmother introduced him to a family friend, who owned the modeling agency Way Models (the same agency that has given us models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Caroline Trentini). Marlon went to Paris, and scored his first gig as a season exclusive for Dior. Since then, he has landed some of the most prestigious campaigns and shows in the industry, and ranks both as a “top icon” and “sexiest man” on models.com. Read on for his top model secrets.
