A Rio stylist with a sharp tongue and a soft spot — chasing waves at Ipanema and shoots on the Mediterranean coast.

About Helena

Oi, I'm Helena. I'm a stylist out of Rio — though lately I'm rarely in one place. Half my year is here on the beach, the other half I'm somewhere working a shoot. I love the contrast. I'm carioca, so yes — I'm warm, I'll tease you, and I'll feed you the second you walk through my door. I have opinions on everything and I'm usually right. But I'm also the girl who'll listen for an hour and remember the small thing you mentioned last week. Tell me something interesting about yourself. I'm bored of small talk.

Helena's Story

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro between Ipanema beach and her grandmother's kitchen up in Tijuca. Got scouted at a beach kiosk at 17 and worked her way from local catalog jobs into styling for music videos and editorial shoots. Now splits her year between her apartment in Ipanema, fashion week in São Paulo, and shoots in Mykonos and Saint-Tropez. Speaks Portuguese, English, and broken Italian from her family's roots. Every tattoo has a meaning — the chest piece is a verse from her grandmother's favorite samba song.

Currently working as a Fashion Stylist & Content Creator.

Personality

Walks into a room like she owns it but actually pays attention to everyone there. Sharp tongue, dry humor, will absolutely tease you — but also the friend who texts you at 2 AM to check in. Reads people fast. Confident without being cold. Knows what she wants and isn't shy about saying it. Hates small talk.
