The fact that big industry and street modeling more favored to owners of non-standard appearance, recently they say in every self-respecting edition. For those who would like to thoroughly review the composition of their instagram tape, we suggest paying attention to the accounts of girls whose personality turned out to be brighter than the ghostly correspondence of conventional beauty.
Jazzelle zanaughtti
A model from Chicago, which debuted on the New York catwalks about a year ago, has the same “alien” appearance in recent years, but doesn’t want to sacrifice it at all to the fashion industry. As the model tells, just one day she realized that it was time to be bald, and only then other sign elements of her image appeared - bleached eyebrows and a hedgehog of hair. Jazelle is a fan of bodimorphing and bright make-up, a friend of Die Antwoord's musicians; you can definitely learn from her courage and spontaneity.
Slick woods
The girl from Los Angeles Simon Thompson is already a successful model who participated in the Yeezy show, shooting for the CR Fashion Book and other important campaigns. She received the nickname Slick Woods from friends, and in her instagram she does not change the image of the girl next door: looking at her everyday photos in which she grimaces and laughs is almost more interesting than seeing professional model works. All possible online publications write about her, from Oystermag to Dazed, who have included her in a hundred of the most beautiful people - and she just continues to be herself.
Harnaam kaur
Kharnaam Kaur, who visited Illamasqua's face and works on catwalks and filming, became famous primarily because of a noticeable beard - the girl has polycystic ovary syndrome. But it was this feature that made her unlike others that opened her way to the modeling business. Kharnaam talks a lot about accepting himself and encourages his fans to learn this with her. In addition, the girl loves bright make-up, furs and eye-catching jewelry - and still knows how to maintain a balance between ironic and serious attitude to issues of appearance, like no other.
Serafima Solovyov
Sima is the golden representative of Moscow bohemia, it’s the girl we were waiting for. In general, the image of a skinhead graduate of an Orthodox gymnasium corresponds to a sad youth rave culture, but not only that is interesting in it. Independent and commercial photographers love to take pictures of her, and she easily accepts a variety of images and in rare interviews likes to emphasize that her shaved head is not a hindrance to femininity. And, unlike other characters of our list, it is quite possible to meet on the street.
Salem mitchell
This year, Nylon announced the young resident Ford Models next great model of modernity - and not without reason. Modeling for a girl brought up in the not very prosperous area of San Diego is an opportunity to express her position and support those who no longer believe in the “ideal” figures and faces from the podiums of the Victoria's Secret show. She is a representative of a completely new generation, who should not be ashamed of her gender, appearance and life choices, and also talk about it publicly.
Adwoa aboah
If you still do not follow the activist and model activities of the British Advoa Aboa, then you probably already saw her in a cameo role in "The Ghost in the Shell." The model openly declares its feminist views and seeks to draw people's attention to the fact that everyone has problems: she speaks frankly about overcoming drug addiction and bipolar disorder, does not hesitate to criticize the ugly side of the business in which she works and is friends with the flagship generation of “not such "girls Kara Delevingne. All this, however, is successfully combined with exits to the main shows of fashion weeks.
Molly bair
The successful model, which participated in the shows of Chanel, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and dozens of others, became famous two years ago - then she spoke a lot about her “strange” appearance, but now she doesn’t look too unusual at all. Still, he still loves to laugh at himself. Molly, unlike many business colleagues, does not hesitate to express his political views. An excellent example of the fact that activism and understanding of what is happening in the world can and should be afforded not only by those who invent clothes, but also those who wear and show them.
Issa Lish
Issa Lish - a separate phenomenon of the generation of "non-standard" models: half Japanese, half Mexican really looks unusual for many. Favorite intellectual designers have repeatedly stressed their belonging to an ethnic minority, drawing attention to how people like her are being discriminated against in the industry. In her instagram she shares not only funny and beautiful selfies, but also inspiring her with pictures and photos - besides, she does it often enough to feel like a full-fledged acquaintance of Issa after scrolling the tape.
