\nAnyone who has read RG Magazine or VOGUE Brazil recently, can attest to all of the attention that Barbara is getting lately. She is being called The It, Up and Coming Girl from Brazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Barbara always tries to get the best out of each city she spends time in. She spent her last year learning French at the University in Paris. She is now ready to head to London to attend the Central\u00a0Saint Martins College<\/em> of Art & Design.\u00a0Between two flights from Sao Paulo and London, Barbara Elias had a stop over in Paris to prepare her move to London for the next school year.<\/p>\n

\nRG Magazine<\/strong><\/a>, from Brazil, jumped on the occasion and got on the phone to ask Benjamin: “Would you be available in 2 days to photograph our It Girl Barbara Elias on the Streets of Paris?” As Barbara strongly believes in signs, astrology, being in the right place at the right time and that things only happen when they are meant to happen, the first agreed shoot date was canceled. But\u00a0that was for a better. Had we done the shoot as planned it would have been a very grey and overcast day. As it turned out, we moved the shoot back 2 weeks and ended up with a spectacularly sunny and warm day for our shoot. Nice going Barbara!<\/p>\n
