Playing The Game – A glimpse into the life of Argentinian model Nicolas Ripoll, who went from zero to Milan Fashion Week in only a month

There are models who start their careers the old-fashioned way: By taking on small, low-key shoots and then steadily work their way up to more meaty advertising projects and fashion shows. But there are also quite a few models who hit the ground running and make their debut directly in the big leagues. Nicolas Ripoll from Argentina falls in the second category.

It’s actually quite hard to imagine a debut that’s bigger than Ripoll’s: Opening and closing Prada’s show in Milan back in 2009. His list of clients then quickly grew to include the likes of Givenchy, Lanvin, Hermès and Kenzo. The following years came shows and campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace, followed by Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Chanel and many more. Although we wouldn’t go so far as to say that it would be easier to list the names of major fashion brands that he hasn’t worked for, the list of labels he has worked for is more than impressive.

Naturally, a professional model of Ripoll’s caliber has quite a few tales to tell, which offers us some new and interesting bits of insight into the world of fashion.
