Summer isn’t even here yet and Rio is already crowded with beautiful people and jet setters. Farida Khelfa, for example, the first Muslim model of French haute couture, and now director and actress, is here, sponsored by Bethy Lagerdère. "I never considered myself a model, because even though I’m from a humble family, I didn’t work for money and chose my jobs very carefully. I wouldn’t do just anything that came my way. I don’t know how they liked me!” she jokes.
* Farida, who speaks a little Portuguese, proved to adjust very well to the city. "This is my second time in Rio. The first was in April, when I accompanied my husband [Henry Seydoux, heir of Jerome Seydoux, current owner of the French Entertainment Group Pathé], who was working in town for a week," she said .
* In addition to being a director, Farida is also on French screens with the series Aïcha, co-starring Bianca Brandolini, but what she really wants is to work on her career behind the cameras. "I am finishing a new documentary about Tunisian artists. And I really want to shoot a fiction feature film."
