Don't know, maybe I'm not so good at fashion and stuff, but #1 is at that point where it looks disgusting..
14 Models Who Completely Destroyed Traditional Beauty Standards
Though beauty standards still prevail in people’s minds, the modern modeling world is on its way to understanding that a bright appearance isn’t just about a pretty face and a skinny body. Changing trends also have a great influence on ordinary girls: they learn to highlight their unique features and to not hate and blame themselves for their flaws.
Bright Side is really inspired by these successful models who’ve destroyed common beauty standards.
14. Thando Hopa
13. Anna Marinich
Anna has been suffering from alopecia, a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body, since childhood. Last year, her portraits were included in a photo project devoted to people with different features. This was Anna’s first professional photoshoot and it boosted her career.
12. Kate Grant
Kate became the first ever girl with Down syndrome to win an international beauty contest. The 19-year-model from Northern Ireland was chosen as the best in the “Teenager” category. Grant has been interested in fashion since she was 13, and her parents have always supported her ideas. They’ve even tried to arrange interviews with modeling agencies, but the agencies always refused. Her childhood dream has finally come true.
11. Tamy Glauser
According to the world of modeling, Tamy began her career too late — she was 27 years old. She takes part in both photoshoots and fashion shows. Thanks to her androgynous appearance, she has also taken part in photoshoots for men’s magazines like Numéro Homme and so on.
10. Slick Woods
In her childhood, Slick was an ugly duckling because of the wide gap between her front teeth and her short haircut. Today, she is a successful model and Rihanna really likes her. She saw Woods on Instagram. By the way, Kanye West was the one who recommended that the model create an Instagram profile.
9. Velvet D’amour
Velvet D’amour weighs 299 lbs, and that’s a record for the modeling world. She’s worked with Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, and Vogue.
8. April Star
April was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with vitiligo and this ruined her self-esteem. But her parents always supported her, and several years later, she was invited to take part in the American show The Real where this future model met Winnie Harlow who became her role model. Today, April takes part in different photoshoots for popular magazines and has a motivating Instagram.
7. Marian Avila
Marian is the first Spanish model with Down syndrome. She has always dreamed of taking part in New York Fashion Week and her dream came true: one of Talisha White’s models saw her post on Instagram, showed it Talisha, and she got in touch with her. Today, Avila works with Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
6. Tess McMillan
Initially, this girl from Texas wanted to be an actress (she studied at an acting school for 2 years.) But after a photoshoot for models.com, McMillan’s fate was determined. Now, Tess works with brands like JCPenney and Zalando, she also took part in a Marc Jacobs’ advertising campaign and had a photoshoot for British Vogue.
5. Issa Lish
Issa has an interesting origin: she’s half Japanese, half Mexican. She also has an inspiring Instagram profile that makes you believe you’re friends with this unusual model.
4. Alice Wilson
Wilson’s face is covered with freckles. But this is not her only feature: she has brown eyes, but likes to wear one blue contact lens to show that beauty is all about imperfection.
3. Jazelle Zanotti
Jazelle loves bright makeup. Her friendship with Die Antwoord is probably one of the reasons she looks so unusual.
2. Serafima Solovyova
Serafima is sure that femininity isn’t at all about the hair.
1. Sophia Hadjipanteli
This model from Greece paints her eyebrows black to highlight them. She used to take part in photoshoots where she was Frida Kahlo. As we all know, Frida also had really distinct eyebrows.
Whose appearance inspires you the most?
Comments
Can someone explain why freckles are considered as imperfection?
I find them super beautiful and attractive!
Thank you for reminding us that if everyone is beautiful, then no one is really “beautiful”. And thank you for reminding me that I should be a model too. And my neighbor, and my cousin, and aunt. Maybe my mom too! I mean, why discrimate against seniors, there’s beauty in old age too! Sheesh! Sooo, when’s my photo op??
Weill, they are surely extraordinary, all of them. But I find them really beautiful :)
Jazelle Zanotti, oh giiirl ?
