Ralph Souffrant is one to watch. Model and self-confessed Denzel Washington fan, he’s redefining the word beauty with his fiery red hair and freckles. He’s on a mission to use his growing platform to teach young kids how to be more accepting in themselves. And we’re here for it. As one of the faces of our latest campaign, we dug a little deeper and got to know the real Ralph…
He’s originally from Haiti…
He lived there until he was nine and then moved to New York with his family.
He made his modelling debut for Yeezy…
And was signed by an agency that same day. Impressive.
He’s a huge Denzel Washington fan…
He also credits The Rock and Tyler Perry as people he looks up to.
He’s a bit of a wallflower…
He’d describe himself as “a bit shy” and likes to observe, sit back and stay quiet in a situation.
He’s all about PMA…
He’s learned how to be comfortable in the skin he’s in and says this has made him be more positive in his everyday life.
If he was a colour, he’d be olive green…
“It’s a soft kind of colour, not overwhelming.”
He takes his style seriously…
He believes it’s something you have to go out of your way to look for, not just in one store.
He works out…
He wouldn’t say he’s a gym person - he prefers to train outdoors and use bodyweight exercises.
He gives stellar advice…
“When it comes to self love and confidence, you have to put together all the things you’ve been through and ask yourself why? If you’re able to identify those things and understand them, then you’ll be more at ease and free. To find your inner self, you have to dig deeply. What broke you down the most at these times, will help you build yourself back up.”
