mediterranean warmth. 5-day stubble.

Rafael shoots best in Solstice, Tide, and Reel — wherever warm light and 1970s-or-1990s Mediterranean styling are wanted. Saint Laurent Marrakech, Jacquemus, Hermès Carre-coded.

Rafael is a Brazilian-Mediterranean man in his late twenties, with sun-warmed olive skin, five-day stubble, and tousled dark waves. The register is Saint Laurent Marrakech, Jacquemus, and Hermès Carre: warm, relaxed, expensive in an unbuttoned way.

He is the face for warm, relaxed men's styling. Leather-and-gold pieces, layered chains, and signets all gain an easy charm on him. Where Rafael is wrong is the cold, formal end: serious heritage watches, platinum statements, pared-back minimalist silver. Those belong with a more formal face like Marcus or a cooler one like Theo.

His warm skin and stubble pull gold forward beautifully. Yellow and rose gold, bronze tones, and warm leather cords sit naturally against him, and warm stones like tiger's eye, onyx, and carnelian read rich. Cool platinum and faceted diamond go flat on him; those photograph sharper on a cooler model.

Use Rafael for sun-warmed, lifestyle-leaning men's campaigns where the mood is ease rather than formality. Solstice gives him golden desert light; Tide suits coastal, open styling; Reel pairs with the video and animate feature for retro motion. He can be cast into any of the fourteen studios, and the app also lets you design a fully custom model.
