Model of the Month
Helena Simon
Helena Simon's modeling career started in a very unusual way. Originally from Brazil, Helena worked all her life as a marketer and in 2017 she was listed as a Forbes Under30 for her work as an entrepreneur in the Brazilian startup scene. In 2018, she gave herself a break and left on a sabbatical trip that, according to her plans, would take her around the world in 2 years. Plans were made to be blown in the wind, though - after 7 months traveling throughout Central America, she landed in NYC last summer and very unexpectedly began a modeling and acting career that is now booming.
In the short few months since she's been in town, Helena has been on the cover of a NYC magazine, has walked over 30 fashion shows, including NYFW, has landed roles in over 10 film productions, and has worked with several talented photographers and designers. As competitive as it may be, the fashion industry is also as diverse and welcoming as ever and Helena is living proof it's never too late to debut in it.
