Born in the lush expanses of Amazonas, Brazil, Luiza Perote emerged from the heart of the Amazon Rainforest to become one of the most compelling faces of contemporary fashion. Discovered at just 13 after winning Backmodel Amazônia 2018, Luiza’s extraordinary journey began in Porto Velho, Rondônia, when her striking presence captured the attention of Elite NYC, launching a career that now bridges continents, cultures, and couture.
Luiza’s early life was marked by challenges that would later define her resilience and poise. Bullied for her height and slender frame, she initially doubted her beauty. Fashion, however, offered a transformative lens through which she discovered confidence, self-expression, and the power of presence. Reflecting on her discovery, she shared: “I never considered modeling as a child, especially because of bullying. When I was discovered at 13, a dream was born, and fashion gave me self-esteem while helping me see my own beauty.”

A pivotal moment came when she opened the Fendi Fall/Winter 24 runway, a milestone that led to her becoming the global face of Fendi, captured by the iconic Steven Meisel. Her campaigns have since spanned luxury houses such as Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Schiaparelli, solidifying her as a muse for the most revered fashion ateliers in the world.
