Since then he has worked with countless big names: internationally renowned fashion magazines, elite advertising agencies, top fashion brands, etc. His portfolio includes names like Cosmopolitan, L’Oreal, Esquire, DKNY Jeans, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Dior, Armani, Vogue, GQ, etc. Today he is celebrated as an established model who has much more to give.
Francisco Lachowski Biography
Francisco, who was born on 13 May 1991, did not grow up with a silver spoon. He was born in the city of Curitiba, the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Parana. However, at some point in his childhood, he moved with his family to the city of Foz do Iguaçu. Francisco remained there until he was eight years old.
It is undeniable that Francisco owes his appearance and work ethic in part to his genes. His father, Roberto Lachowski, is of Polish descent. And his mother, Maria Lachowski, is of Portuguese and German descent. The model also has two sisters, both older than him – Isabella and Marcela.

The then pubescent boy seemed to show that he had the Midas touch when he made his first attempt as a model in 2008. He took part in a modeling competition sponsored by Ford Models. He emerged as the winner of the contest and won the title “Ford Men’s Supermodel of the World”. This victory also earned him his very first modeling contract with the organizers of the competition, Ford Models. The contract is said to have been worth 60,000 dollars. Francisco was 16 years old at the time.
This of course opened doors for him to countless other clients and agents. As he grew older, his evolving physique and burgeoning modeling experience brought him international recognition – and clients in the form of elite brands like Dior.
