ICE pride ourselves on representing models that have so much more to their allure than meets the eye.

Sit down with us as we get to know Rafaela.

Q - How did you get into Modeling and what were you doing before?

A - I have been modelling for three years, and before that I was a pharmacist. I finished my pharmacy college in the middle of this year. I’ve always loved fashion and everything about modelling, but I never felt like I was enough to the industry so I never tried before, and then one day I realized that I was throwing away my dream without even trying. That is when the things started to happen! I went to an agency in Brazil and started to work weekly with huge brands that I could never imagine that I would be their face one day. So, believing in my dreams and working hard brought me here to Cape Town!

Q - What do you like to do in your free time?

A - I love running and workouts in general, I’m always doing some kind of sport like boxing or Muay Thai, but the part of me that likes to mix training and art loves pole dancing.

Q - What is your most memorable trip and why?

A - When I was in London with my best friend 6 years ago, I was just an adolescent without my parents in another country trying to learn English. It was so exciting! It made me feel that I could go anywhere I wanted to!

Q - Do you have any bucket list adventures you would like to do one day?

A - Yes! and some of them are here in cape town like paragliding, going up Table mountain and do some boat trips around the city.

Q - Who is your favourite musician?

A - I don’t have any specific one but I really love some songs of Lana del Rey as she talks about getting over all the challenges of life.

Q - What is your favourite movie and why?

A - I have two, Pretty woman and Burlesque. Pretty woman make dream about impossible love and Burlesque shows the story of one girl who worked hard and risked everything for her dream, just like I did.

Q - What is your favourite food?

A - Italian food in general, but I really love salad bowls too.

Q - If you could master a skill, what would it be?

A - I guess I really would like to have the skill of flying, to feel the freedom of it.

Q - What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received and who was it from?

A - From my mom. She told me that I can never in my life live in fear of my dreams.

Q - What is a dream campaign you would like to book one day?

A - Fenty Beauty or Charlotte Tilbury
