João and Francisco Hilbert, the sons of Fernanda Lima and Rodrigo Hilbert, took the first steps in their careers in the world of fashion during Sao Paulo Fashion Week this Wednesday (15). Just 16 years old, the twins will be modeling for Normando, marking the start of their journey at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. They will also present on the catwalks for the brands The Paradise, on Saturday (19) and Sou de Algodão, on Friday (18).
With the WAY Model agency representing the likes of Carolyn Trentini, Cynthia Dicker, Alessandra Ambrosio and Marlon Teixeira, the Hilbert twins were announced as the agency’s new talent in September. Following in the footsteps of their parents who also started their artistic career in fashion – Fernanda at 14 and Rodrigo at 16.
The Normando brand, originating from the Amazon, takes to the catwalk its commitment to sustainability, using raw materials such as Amazonian latex and yarina, seeds that replace animal ivory. Founded by Marco Normando and Emídio Contente, both from Belém do Pará, the brand aims to value the forest and traditional sewing techniques in its creations.
