I toss dough at one of the trendiest pizzerias in NYC — now I walk the runways at Paris Fashion Week
NY Post
This success story is far from cheesy.
A pizzamaker at trendy LES eatery Scarr’s has gone from pulling pies fresh out of the oven to looking fresh and hot on the runway.
“It’s been so, so crazy,” Christiano Wennmann, 24, told The Post of his newly-minted international modeling career, which he called “a real Cinderella story.”
The tattooed Queens native’s improbable trajectory from a life of crust to the catwalk began this year when he walked in buzzy New York designer Willy Chavarria’s Paris fashion week show. That soon led to major campaigns for noted brands like Tinder.
And like the dough he stretches during his day job, it all began to rise when the pizzaiolo was recruited while slinging pies.
“I don’t think this would have happened if I was working in any other pizzeria except for Scarr’s,” said Wennmann of the popular Orchard Street slice shop owned by Scarr Pimentel.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
