Inside Brazil's Model Factory

[@atrustedservant7976]

+Debora Van Krauser While I understand your perspective, why would anyone say put more white people on a soccer team if white Brazilians dominate the entire government, all politics, all media and virtually all of the well paying jobs and careers outside of soccer? What sense would that make to complain about non-whites in soccer? Also, the reason people don't associate generally associate Brazil with "white people" is because by international standards, many people who identify as white in Brazil are not considered "white" in other countries. Outside of those areas where white Brazilians are of relatively recent European immigration (within the past 1-2 generations) most multi-generational white Brazilians are "mixed," and thus by international standards, non-white. Keep in mind that the people who SELF-IDENTIFY as white in the Brazilian census are doing so by their own standards, not by the standards of other countries. Thus, to Brazilians they have one of the largest white populations in the world on paper, but to most in the international community on a social level, Brazil does not.

Cuz dark women simply aren’t universally considered pretty. All other races are considered more attractive even by black men before black women. There’s actual studies about it. It’s just human nature. But in high fashion dark skin doesn’t pop colors as much as lighter skin which is why high fashion wants as pale girls as possible because the light skin hides imperfections as well and makes them look porcelain.

Considering Brazil is only 47% white, the agencies manage to find the most European looking models possible. It's Ok to say Adriana Lima is the face of a diverse nation, but scratch beneath the surface and what you find is a majority of jobbing models and opportunities are given to Ethnically european girls. It's no surprise that Elite and the rest of the agencies tend to have their head quarters in Rio Grande do Sul and Parana as opposed to Bahia. Their's no difference between Heidi Klum and Cintia Dicker or Bruna Erhardt, They may as well set up camp in Pomerania or Schleswig Holstein. Physical fascists. ON the flip side, they're looking for cheap white girls. Which is why they head to Russia as well.

+Debora Van Krauser No, my dear, your argument means nothing. All you did was repeat a statistic that I'd already made. If you had any intelligence you would realise my point, which is that Eurocentric Brazilian culture dominates, even though 53% of the country has nothing to do or any relation to this culture. Europeans have better job security, they're immeasurably wealthier, they dominate television and media exposure as well as politics. They promote themselves over everything else, to the detriment of all other cultures. It also exposes the level of racism that exists within the country still, which is obviously significant.

Keep in mind Brazil's history in reference to colorism and there are many brown-skinned people in Brazil who called themselves "white" simply to gain social status. When the world thinks of the average Brazilian person, it is not "white" people than comes to mind.

[@davidelliott1594]

+LUCAS LEIVA BRASIL First, it is not only African studies courses that say Brazil has the largest population of African descent outside of Africa. It is many Brazilians who say that also. Also, many slaves on their way to ALL countries in the Western Hemisphere died. Not only to Brazil. And if you actually study Brazilian history, in Brazil's own history books, it is acknowledged that when slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, Brazil was a majority black country. It was then they opened to doors to massive European immigration, and the process of "branqueamento" began. This is not African studies, these are Brazil's own records. You are also neglecting to mention in what region the country of Brazil originated. Keep in mind the South of Brazil is not where the country originated. Brazil as a country origination in the North. The first capital of Brazil was in the Northeast, Salvador. The vast majority of the Northeast is black and mulattoes. Southern Brazil is where most European immigrants from Germany, Italy, Poland, etc. went to. You keep using Southern Brazil as an example and your neglecting the fact that Southern Brazil is one of the smaller regions of the country. It just has the most political influence, but not the most numbers.

[@crystaldeswardt6474]

You also might look at people and think they're not model material at all, but sometimes the fashion industry is looking for a certain face. Look at Alek Wek for example, she's a top model but she's incredibly unique

[@JennfuurMarie]

i dont like this industry at all

[@rouge4855]

This is a lot like a live stock auction.

[@wanubijohari1]

Living in Brasil, you understand how superficial most folks are, it is ALL about LOOKS! People will have surgery just to get a job as a sales woman, because they must have a 'pretty' face, or have more breast, just sickening because people do not want to be themselves anymore. Everyone wants to be the NEXT (copy). love yaself and be yaself, trust me ya wil be MUCH MUCH happier.

[@boaz1353]

Sad how aslessandra was like " get exploited as much"

[@ivandamico93]

And its not a "model factory", they dont churn out models, its a MONEY FACTORY!

[@xereta1123]

I remember when I was 12 y and I was leaving school at the end of the afternoon, they were looking for models, and they gave a leaflet to some girls, I talked to a colleague that got it, she said she thought it was boring and didnt want to go, but we convinced her to go for the money. She went, took the photos, took the money and went on with life normally. Things are not tragic as they seem, few people really care about this model thing, even the ones that have beautiful kids, the vast majority just go to get some easy money and get on with life, and even those who choose to be models do not have such a difficult life, usually young people here are thin and naturally have a body to work as a model (it's not like people stop eating waiting to be chosen to become supermodels), I have models in the family and food is not their biggest problem, but the demand for time, so you can't think that every model will have eating disorder and depression, this is not a general rule.

[@cherrybaylon9737]

Brazilian women are being admired by Filipinos in the Philippines. Most Filipinas want to become like BRAZILIANS in terms of BEAUTY AND BODY. They are goddesses of perfect beauty. Filipinos are obsessed with BRAZILIAN blow-out, hair rebonding or straightening.

[@kristin4840]

Most depressing thing I’ve watched in a long time

[@amayafuller8895]

That agent who told her that she will turn into a whale if she doesn't take care of her body.😒😖😬

It's gotta be like 8 times by now that you've said that same comment. Invested in it much?

[@rodrigovonkluge4280]

South Brazil 80% white From there left Gisele Caroline Bündchen, Francisco Lachowski, Alessandra Corine Ambrosio, Isabelli Fontana, Alex Cunha ........

[@kylesavage4525]

I always knew fashion industry in general is disgusting but i had no idea it can be THIS disgusting.

[@ceelynryn8293]

"tanned skin* and yet they pick the ones with the lightest skin tones

gisele is NOT hot at all,,, her face look scary to me

[@Robertking1996]

+Nikki A LIES

[@bellamartino730]

+annie countryman she is single handedly the one who started this craze in modeling in Brazil tho. she is HUGE there. Because of her is the reason Brazil became a placer to scout models. Every agent wants to find the next gisele. (stll hasnt happened)...

[@Nathan_496]

Just because you can't be white . Lol .

[@stefmarce22]

No one has the right to shape your mind.

[@Mmmmmm-jw2bz]

I get why so many people don't agree with the parents choices about this, but you also need to realize that many of these people came from really small towns and they need the money

[@TT-hq2cf]

yes... but at the prize of exploiting their daughter??

[@d.lawrence5670]

so, melanie, you're saying they should exploit their children for cash? If you have to do that to live, then you shouldn't have f--king had kids.

[@Nathan_496]

​@@TT-hq2cfyes... Jealous?

[@TributesAndUnique]

This is perpetuates to the Brazilian stereotype for people to fetishize Brazilian women

[@nicolelipsky9382]

Anytime I hear someone say "they hope to groom her/him"...no matter the intent I am creeped out. Parents, be smart. There are plenty of ways to lose your children.

[@isitfashion]

it shouldn't be normal to let children work. why is the fashion industry allowed to be an exception when it come to basic human rights?

Model casting

[@gideonlyons3697]

Only one word to describe this emploitation . Exploitation on a massive scale.

[@hilalkalkavan1083]

the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. good thing they show a lot of country side and those farm animals, for us to compare appearantly. these are human beings and the way talk about them.. ugh. just ugh.

[@eronibale2942]

I can't believe they neglected to mention Adriana Lima when talking about Brazilian supermodels. Everybody knows Gisele, Adriana and Alessandra are the Brazilian trinity.

[@magnero2749]

The video is focused on the south of Brazil which is the region where Gisele comes from, people there are highly likely to have some sort of mix between german, italian, and native indian ancestry. Adriana Lima comes from Bahia, far north, if model scouts go there, they are looking for very different mix, african, portuguese traits.

[@moviesforrandy]

so they paid a $1000 each? a $1000 is hard to get in brazil.

[@Ulquiorra67012]

How hard it is ?? how long would it take you to get that amount.

[@moviesforrandy]

Manny A. I have it right now. I live in the usa. them children have to suffer for that much and only one in a million get chosen. BROKEN DREAMS.

[@fleisbester612]

Not too much, i earn 4000 per mounth

[@InsanaGotham]

@@moviesforrandy You say that because you do not live in Brazil. Here the majority have the monthly salary between 3,000 and 12,000. My father, for example, is a teacher and earns 9,500 monthly.

[@InsanaGotham]

@@moviesforrandy In Brazil there are salaries up to 60,000 a month

[@aiyacharlene]

That guy who told the 14 year old girl to show him her tummy really set me off. The poor girl is probably going to make that her main focus now! She's already skinny now. This just shows how the modeling industry ruins self esteem. This is a horrible industry, they're shaping the girls into how they want them to be. In the end, they're all the same.

[@kmomylesmith1274]

Very beautiful women of all tones around the world...women not children...

[@marcmarc6160]

Beautiful people from Brazil!

[@laurenhaasnt]

Mother learned a life lesson when she handed over $1000 only to have her 1-year-old bawl on the runway

[@iamactuallyover18]

"You'll turn into a whale". How can you say that to an innocent 14 year old girl?? It's disgusting

[@deborahxa7108]

The late Mariana Bridi. There is no model from Brazil as beautiful as she was. Please remember my friend.

[@joseHumberto0201]

Hello! you is man?

[@InsanaGotham]

Yasharia X Mariana Bridi is brazilian!!! 🇧🇷

[@baiserlesprincesses7300]

remembering that Gisele is not from Rio de Janeiro but from Rio Grande do Sul

Comédia Brasil kkkkkk outro Br kkk

[@mariosolna]

GISELE is 100% GERMAN Blood she is not brazilian.......

[@caro.h]

Marisol Negrete how the hell is she not Brazilian when she was born in Brasil? Just because your ancestors were from a different place doesn’t mean you are from that place as well. Me, my parents, grandparents and great grandparents where born in Brazil, but we are not Brazilian because my great great grandparents where from some place in Germany?

[@Iam-ava]

carolina heberle yes your nationality is Brazilian but your ethnicity is not so is your race. You are caucasian :).

[@caro.h]

Ava Ava yes, I am aware that I am caucasian. But that’s not the point of the discussion. Claiming that Gisele is not Brazilian is. I don’t even understand why this is hard to understand. She was born and raised on Brazil, her mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, her parents and sister are Brazilian. She is Brazilian and that’s a fact.

[@annettebonteri3234]
