IN CONVERSATION|NICHOLAS COSTA
Name|Nicholas Paschoal Da Costa
Age|20
Hometown|Santos, San Paolo, Brazil
How did you get discovered?
I had a bet with my father. We were drunk and my father said if I passed out first, I would have go to a agency near where I live and give modeling a try. I am happy I made that bet cause I have been traveling around the world due to modeling!
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Before modeling, I was studying to become an engineer!
Most embarrassing moment in modeling.
I modeled for a brand called Long Tran. They made me wear this tall platform shoes and I was supposed to walk on the runway, it was so high that I almost fell on the catwalk! Thought it could only happen to women with heels!
Something surprising about yourself...
Some years ago, I was more muscular than I was now. I was into bodybuilding. Once I got into modeling, I was told to stop all those muscle building exercises. I actually lost almost 5 kg. of my muscle weight at one time!

The Walking Dead, TV-Series
Your most prize possession?
Worn out purple sneakers from Vans, I need to get them repair! They are super comfortable!

Three adjectives that best describes you:
Unattached, Easygoing and Funny
Describe your personal style:
In colder weather, I love to wear vintage clothing. In warm weather, comfortable clothes only!
Your favorite place you have travel to:
Tokyo, Japan, people are so polite and respectful and the parties are awesome!
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Zombieland—Scene: When the male character try to impress the girl character by trying to be the kind of guy he thinks she would like. For example, riding a motor bike when he hardly knows how to ride one.
If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Santos, San Paolo, Brazil—All the beaches in Brazil are amazing! So definitely there!
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
A interview talk show with guests like Will Smith and model Sean O'Pry. Theme song would be hip hop music, not a specific song comes to mind yet.
Favorite moment in modeling:
When I did my very first catwalk show for Versus/Versace in NYC, designed by J.W.Anderson
Your wish for the remainder of 2014?
I never did Brazil fashion week and so if I do plan to it this season (In November) I wish I will do a lot of shows!
