‘A day in Tyrol’ was the theme of this August pictorial. As it often happens, the weather played a trick on our plans: no sun, no blue sky, lots of rain instead.
“I’m from Brazil, but I’m now based in Milan, working as a model,” Felipe tells us. “Before fashion, I spent most of my life as a professional swimmer, fully locked into training, discipline, and competition. After that chapter, I moved abroad and had to start from scratch. I actually started as a graphic designer even before stepping into modeling.”
“Sport is in my DNA. I’ve always lived an active life. Swimming, fitness… I like staying in motion — physically and mentally. I train around 4–6 times a week, mostly strength-based. Nothing extreme — just consistency, discipline, and staying lean but strong. For me, training is as much about mental clarity as it is about keeping in shape. It keeps me grounded.”
Are you single? What do you look for in a partner?
I’m single. I’m into someone confident, grounded, emotionally intelligent, with good vibes and a bit of a spark. No games.
Best place to make love?
Honestly, it’s never about the place. It’s about chemistry, presence, and the connection between two people in the moment. This said, making love in a stadium could be hot and sweaty, right up my alley.
Tell us something we don’t know about you.
People only see the model side, but there’s more behind it. I’ve been an athlete and a designer — so I’ve lived different lives already. Also, I’m a pretty good cook. I was fully vegan for a few years, so I had to get creative and learn how to cook everything from scratch. Which made me way more conscious about food and skillful in the kitchen. YAY!
