Cinderella’s Dream / Le Rêve de Cendrillon (Sao Paulo juin 2008)
There is a community seen by all but which remains akwardly unknown by the masses, that is the one of female fashion models.
Drawn by an attractive desire of seduction that appears on the dawn of teenagehood, quite soon more often, a lot of young girls and even males would do almost anything to be part of the dazzling world of professional fashion models such as Gisele Bundchen or before her Cindy Crawford.
This world of illusion based only on external looks represents for these young people what they think to be an easy way of evasion and easy money, glory and fast social uprising.
Some people make a lot of money out of there naïve dreams, such as bookers and scouts. In this series, Vitor and Ming seek futur models in all the planet, especially very poor neighbourhoods, in order to “represent” them and have them work for them in Paris or New York on magazines or catwalk.
Strangely enough they are both attracted by men only…
My first step in this long project was in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
This first chapter describes a worls of pretences, desires and disappointments, beauty and uglyness.
This story is the one of unmature little girls following there childhood dreams, their Cinderella’s dream.
