I was very sad to find out that Brazilian model Fernando Fernandes has been in a car accident in Sao Paulo this past July. He was driving alone as he lost control of the car and hit a tree, leaving him paralyzed and immobile from the waist down. I somehow never heard of this, and after a quick search I found out some links at Made in Brazil that led me to articles and a new interview with the 28 year-old model and former Big Brother Brazil contestant.
Fernando Fernandes has recently shot into international fame by joining the very elite group of top models Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova, Noah Mills and Tyson Ballou in the new D&G Anthology fragrance ad campaign. Fernando and Eva represented La Roue de la Fortune 10 (The Wheel of Fortune) fragrance.
But long before the D&G campaign, we have featured Fernando through the work of Brazilian photographer Didio. According to a new interview, which you can check out below, Fernando has suffered a serious spinal injury and a fractured vertebra. He is currently going through physical therapy.
We send Fernando our best wishes of a very speedy recovery.
