This incurable genetic condition gives him an extraordinary and unique look, presenting random white patches of skin around his body and face, and a white crest of hair on his head. Born in a humble community, in a favela of Salvador (Brazil), at the age of 5 he was discovered online and recruited by a renowned European child modelling agency, which catapulted him to international fame in the kids’ modelling industry. Samuel’s remarkable story has appeared in several Brazilian media outlets (tv channels and newspapers) already, and because of the exposure, he is already having a very successful modelling career in Brazil and overseas. At his young age he has already walked the runways of acclaimed international fashion events such as BazaarKids Fashion Day in São Paulo, London Kids’ Fashion Week (United Kingdom) Toronto Kids’ Fashion Week (Canada), Paris Fashion Week (France), etc.
