MiniBio

Fashion designer and reality TV standout—best known as the runner-up on season ten of Project Runway—made a strong impression that paved the way for his return on Project Runway All Stars season four. His name became synonymous with bold, innovative style, and he used that momentum to launch his own clothing line called NotEqual, a forward-thinking, genderless apparel brand that reflects his inclusive vision for fashion. Before all the spotlight, though, his journey began in Brazil, where he was raised by his grandmother, a skilled seamstress. It was from her that he inherited his deep passion for garment construction and attention to detail. Watching her work sparked something in him early on, and that inspiration carried through his education. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in fashion design from Universidade de FUMEC, and further honed his craft with studies at prestigious institutions like FIT and PRAT. Though his roots are in Brazil, he eventually made the move to Brooklyn, New York, where he continued to build his career. His name continues to stand out in the fashion world—not just for his runway success, but for his commitment to redefining what clothing can mean in a modern, diverse society.

Trivia

He has a line of what he calls Artisanal apparel, which is known for featuring one-of-a-kind pieces in his NotEqual collection.

Actor Film Television

Fabio, a name that became synonymous with charm and charisma in Hollywood, carved out a successful acting career over the years. While many know him for his striking looks, Fabio proved time and again that he had serious talent beneath the surface. His journey into entertainment began largely through television comedies, where he showcased his versatility and comedic timing. One of his earliest notable appearances was on the long-running ABC sitcom *Roseanne* (1988–1997), which helped establish Fabio as more than just a model—he was an emerging actor with real potential. During the early '90s, Fabio also made a splash in special programming, appearing on *People's 20th Birthday* (ABC, 1993–94), further boosting his visibility. It wasn’t long before he transitioned into film, making his mark in the dark comedy *Death Becomes Her* (1992), starring Meryl Streep. That role opened doors, and soon Fabio found himself in a string of diverse projects. He appeared in Dirk Shafer’s satirical comedy *Man of the Year* (1996), the spoof action flick *Spy Hard* alongside Leslie Nielsen, and even lent his presence to the basketball-themed comedy *Eddie* (1996). While films kept him busy, Fabio never strayed too far from TV. In the early 2000s, he took on a recurring role on *Yes, Dear* (CBS, 2000–06), endearing himself to a new generation of viewers. Around the same time, his fame was celebrated in retrospectives like *Fabio: The E! True Hollywood Story* (E! Networks, 2000–01) and the edgy *Tom Green Uncensored* (MTV, 2000–01), both of which highlighted his cultural impact beyond the screen. As the 2000s rolled on, Fabio continued to act in feature films, including the quirky comedy-adventure *The Bubble Boy* (2001) with Jake Gyllenhaal and the cult classic *Zoolander* (2001), where he shared the screen with Ben Stiller in a memorable cameo. These roles reminded audiences that Fabio, while often cast for his image, could deliver laughs with perfect comedic timing. In what might be considered one of his later major appearances, Fabio joined the sketch-comedy series *The Birthday Boys* (IFC, 2013–15), proving that his appeal and relevance endured across decades. From sitcoms to satires, from cameos to leading roles, Fabio built a legacy that blended humor, heart, and a little bit of glamour—making him a unique figure in Hollywood history.
