In an industry once dominated by fixed standards and unyielding prerequisites, the emergence of new talents that break the mold is not just refreshing, but revolutionary. Enter Nicolly Fagundes, the Brazilian model who’s not only challenging the norm but doing so with an incredible flair. I could easily say that she is the new Kate Moss, but she is more than that.
Discovered by the seasoned talent agent Elian Gallardo, Nicolly’s journey to the spotlight is a testament to the shifting paradigms of the fashion world. “Finding someone like Nicolly is a rarity. She has this indescribable aura around her; it’s not just her look, it’s her spirit,” remarks Gallardo, who has an impressive track record of launching other top models, both men and women.
It is under Gallardo’s seasoned guidance that Fagundes was launched at São Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW), the most prominent fashion event in Brazil. For many models, stepping onto the SPFW runway is the realization of a long-held dream. But for Nicolly, it was a sign that her dreams were only beginning.
Recently, she shot for the international brand Aeropostale, further solidifying her position in the global fashion realm. With a robust portfolio that’s growing by the day, she stands out not just for her unique look but also for her undeniable dedication to her craft.
One of the most notable attributes about Fagundes is her height. Historically, the fashion industry has been known to favor taller models, often sidelining immensely talented individuals who didn’t fit into this bracket. But Nicolly is among those groundbreaking models who are reshaping the fashion world’s perspective on this. “It’s not about how tall you stand, but how you stand tall,” Nicolly says. “Being a model is about portraying a vision, an emotion. And that doesn’t have a height requirement.”
Gallardo, who’s been instrumental in her rise, echoes this sentiment. “Nicolly’s presence on the runway is commanding. She brings an energy that is unparalleled. You don’t look at her and see her height. You see the story she’s telling.” Gallardo’s meticulous approach to her career is a testament to his belief in her potential and the potential for the industry to evolve. He ensures every move is calculated, ensuring that Nicolly’s journey remains as striking as her presence.
Already making waves in the international circuit, Fagundes is being sought after for various global assignments. Yet, Gallardo, ever the careful mentor, is judicious in selecting opportunities for her. “Every model has a unique journey. For Nicolly, we’re ensuring she walks a path that’s tailored just for her,” he states.
But, amidst the glitz, glamour, and international recognition, what stands out is Nicolly’s humble spirit. “I come from Brazil, a land of diversity, culture, and passion. I carry that with me in every shot, every walk. It’s an honor to represent my country on such platforms,” she shares.
Nicolly’s rise in the industry is symbolic of the shifting boundaries and evolving norms of the fashion world. It’s a reminder that dedication, talent, and the right guidance can shatter ceilings and redefine standards. And as she continues to ascend, she doesn’t just represent a new era for models; she represents hope for every aspiring talent out there.
As Gallardo aptly puts it, “Nicolly is not just a model; she’s a movement. And I’m proud to be a part of that journey.”
In the fast-paced world of fashion, where trends come and go, Nicolly Fagundes is not just a trend but a force to be reckoned with. She’s a beacon of change, embodying the future of the industry, and we can only wait with bated breath to see where her journey takes her next.
