Born Sofía Méndez in the sun-kissed streets of Barcelona, Spain, Samadhi Amor (a name inspired by her mother’s love for Sanskrit philosophy) is a model whose career dances between high fashion and conscious authenticity. With her Spanish-Brazilian heritage, she brings a magnetic blend of Mediterranean warmth and tropical vibrancy to every frame.

From Cobblestones to Catwalks

Samadhi’s journey began at 17, when a local photographer spotted her dancing at Barcelona’s Festa de Gràcia. Her untamed curls and smoky hazel eyes landed her first test shoot—a bohemian editorial shot in a abandoned Catalan chapel. By 19, she’d signed with IMG Models, strutting for Zara’s Sustainable Collection and starring in Mango’s 2023 “Urban Jungle” campaign.

Career Highlights:

• Runway Magic: Opened for Stella McCartney’s Paris SS24 show in a zero-waste hemp gown.
• Editorial Darling: Featured in Vogue España’s groundbreaking “Faces of the New Mediterranean” spread.
• Advocacy: Ambassador for Oceanic Preservation Society, using her platform to combat fast fashion.

The Woman Behind the Lens

• Stats: 5’10” (178 cm), with a 34-24-35 silhouette she credits to flamenco dancing and a plant-based diet.
• Signature Look: Voluminous dark waves, sun-kissed freckles, and a tiny lotus tattoo on her wrist (“for resilience”).
• Quirks: Collects vintage postcards from every shoot location. “I’ve mailed 283 to my abuela. She thinks I’m a travel agent.”

Beyond the Glamour

• Roots & Family: Raised by a Brazilian jazz singer mother and Spanish architect father, Samadhi speaks 4 languages fluently. Her younger brother, Luca, is a climate activist.
• Hidden Passions:
  • Paints abstract murals in Barcelona’s underground art spaces (under the alias SOLA).
  • Posts ASMR videos of her sketching to her 620K TikTok followers (@samadhi.mood).
• Love Life: Tight-lipped, but rumors link her to eco-designer Alejandro Ruiz. “Love? It’s a collab I’m still storyboarding,” she teases.
