Bringing this month’s special feature to a close is none other than Brazilian model Francisco Lachowski. From the winner of Supermodel Brazil and work for Dior Homme to a plethora of all-encompassing bookings, it is no surprise that Francisco made our selection of bright up and comers. In an effort to learn more about the Ford model, we went to stylist Ivan Bontchev, who has had the pleasure of working with Francisco on L’Ultimo Samurai, The Defensive End and for Hero.

–

Ivan Bontchev first met Francisco at a last minute casting for Urban magazine. After only two minutes with him, it was clear that he had booked the job. As Bontchev expressed, “He was without a doubt the coolest boy we had seen that day, not [only] because of how he looks, but the way he acted: really chill and laid-back. And it could have been a pain in the ass, since I wanted to tape a skate on his back! I did tape it (actually his own skate, although we had some selection of skates on set) and as painful as it was for Francisco, (he got a wax job on the way, since the tape was passing under his armpits) he just laughed about it.

The editorial came up rather nice, but it was honestly Francisco’s attitude that made it cool. We booked him once more for the Hero magazine editorial. That day we actually shot three stories with Massimo Pamparana and we were kind of worried that [we’d] end up shooting until early morning…since I convinced Mr. Pamparana the night before to do the Defensive End editorial for Models.com with both Francisco and Oscar Spendrup in-between the two other jobs.

Francisco didn’t actually expect to shoot two editorials and when he came on set and saw all the rubber tube stuff was like: “man you are crazy.” We ended up shooting until 3 a.m. on two locations and while shooting we actually understood [that] Francisco had a fever and was not feeling well at all. But he didn’t say a word, just kept on working. At this point I was fucking amazed by this guy. Francisco is just cool and easy to work with. But even more [so], he has great personality. Having in mind what the future holds for [one in] our industry, it will be exactly this factor that will help him go ahead.”
