Young man who sold snacks to help his mother became the face of Hugo Boss. Now he models for a living

Gabriel Pitta is only 21 years old and already has a promising career ahead of him as an international model. However, not everything was always easy for the young man from Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, since before the success, he lived in a precarious economic situation with his family. For this same reason, since he was a child, he knew what hard work was.

Pitta was always aware that the best way to make it in life was through working hard. Since he was a teenager, he decided to help his mother with the small business she had selling sandwiches. He not only helped cook them but also packaged and delivered them to customers.

«Since I was little, I helped my mother with this job, we did everything at home, and it was a way to increase the family income. Besides making the products, I also packed and did the deliveries.»

After years of preparing snacks for children’s birthdays and helping the family’s monetary contribution, Gabriel got a lucky break. In 2016, he applied to a contest in his town, which was looking for the most beautiful local man. He never imagined that this would be his springboard to fame.

Since then, the Brazilian began to make a career in the world of modeling. Campaign after campaign, catwalk after catwalk, Pitta occupied all his efforts in being a reference in the fashion world until he succeeded.

The young man internationalized his career and had the opportunity to take a plane and move to Europe to continue his dreams. Today, Gabriel has proudly announced that he will be the main face of a campaign for the German brand, Hugo Boss.

That hasn’t been the young man’s only success. Since leaving his native country, he has been a cover model for world-renowned magazines like Vogue, GQ and Marie Claire.

Gabriel went from the kitchen to the catwalks. Today, he is rewarded for all his efforts and hard work.
