Francisco Lachowski (born May 13, 1991) is a Brazilian fashion model known for his work with major luxury brands and his consistent presence on global “Top Male Model” lists. He gained international attention after winning the 2008 Ford Men’s Supermodel of the World contest in São Paulo, launching a career that made him one of the most recognizable faces in men’s fashion.
Career and recognition:

Winning the Ford Models contest at age 17 earned him an exclusive contract and immediate runway work for Dior Homme, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Armani, and Balmain. He fronted campaigns for DKNY, Lacoste, Armani Exchange, Etro, and Mavi Jeans, and appeared on magazine covers such as GQ, Vogue Hommes, Vanity Teen, and L’Officiel Hommes. Models.com listed him among its “Industry Icons” and “Sexiest Men,” awarding him Model of the Year (2016). He also appeared in Wolves (2016) and became GQ Portugal’s “Top Model” in 2018.
Media image and influence:

With sharp features and symmetry often cited as ideal, Lachowski emerged as a reference figure in the online “looksmaxxing” movement—something he later addressed critically, encouraging body positivity and mental health awareness. His balanced public persona and openness about family life have broadened his influence beyond fashion into lifestyle media.
