Interview Magazine, Cover Magazine and Love Magazine. In one of her covers on
Love Magazine she is featured with Kate Moss another incredibly well known
model. She has been named by Forbes Magazine in 2015 as one of the 12 women who
have changed Italian fashion. She was very proud in 2014 when she became the
first openly transgender model to front a global cosmetics brand which was a
hair company from America named RedKen. Come 2016 she was still making her way
through the industry and creating a name for herself when she lead the Brazilian
team in the Olympic opening ceremony into the stadium on her bike in RIO. She
has had so much opportunity in the industry and has taken all of it to better
herself and help show that being transgender does not make you unable to be in
the industry.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lea’s Givenchy’s add was her break in the industry. This campaign
was created to fund Lea’s surgery as she was struggling to find the money since
her family were unsupportive of the idea at the beginning she and even
considered selling her body for prostitution to get the money. Tisci was not in
agreement with this which was what inspired him to create the campaign. There
were a number of transgender models used in this AW campaign in 2010, when
creating the campaign Tisci did not worry about the impact of using transgender
models would have on his campaign he just wanted the campaign to be successful.
Even now years on after the campaign Tisci and Lea are still close friends.</div>

Also she stated that she believed since Caitlyn Jenner became transgender
people have started opening their minds more to the idea of people being
transgender and that more people are opening up as it. She is an inspiration to
other transgender people who are in the industry as well as those who are
looking to break into the industry. She believes she was put on earth for a

Model and actress Diandra Forrest is 27 years old was born
in the Bronx in NYC she has a unique look that is albinism. It is a condition
that only affects every 1 in 17,000 people and causes a loss of pigment in
hair, skin and sometimes the eyes. More models in the fashion industry are
popping up with this look now, since it is becoming more accepted. They are
great role models for younger people who suffer from the condition.<o:p></o:p></div>

model with albinism to be signed to a big label to start her career. Her look
is unique and has caught the attention of a lot of designers and magazines in
the industry. She grew up with 4 brothers and sisters and realised she was an
albino at the age of 9, only her brother and herself inherited it. Many of her
friends asked if she was adopted because she had a different look from others
in her family, as well as this there would be adults who laughed at her as a
child and she struggled to understand why. When she was a child she was moved
to a school for children with special education to try and stop the bullying
she was experiencing. She believes this was all due to a lack of understanding
on their behalf and believes that is also how things are now, people don’t
understand albinism fully so don’t know how to react to it. Finding confidence
in herself really helped her get into the industry but she still hopes for
change in the future and that people won’t have to go through what she went
through. She wants to work with children and parents of those who have albinism
to support them and help them to understand the condition. <o:p></o:p></div>

She has done some great work in the fashion industry from
magazine covers to music videos. Discovered when she was out shopping, she soon
after joined the agency Elite Models NY. Now more deep into her career she has
worked with models such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and MAC
cosmetics. She has featured in a couple of music videos including Beyonce’s
“Pretty Hurts” video and Kanye West’s music video for his song “Power”. These
artists are massively known around the world so it created a lot of attention
for Diandra. In 2016 Diandra walked the New York Fashion Week runway holding
her seven week old child. On lookers had different opinions on this as some
thought it was really nice that she got the opportunity to do that but some
believed she was actually breast feeding whilst walking – which wasn’t true –
and frowned upon this for putting her baby into an environment like that. <o:p></o:p></div>

Jillian Mercado who was born and raised in New York, started
her modelling career in 2014. Born with Muscular Dystrophy she is one of the
small amount professional models with a disability therefore making her unique
in the industry. As a wheelchair user she is an inspiration to all those who
suffer from disabilities as it shows it doesn’t stop you from achieving your
dreams. Her love of fashion came from her parents who were a dress maker and a
shoe salesman, so it is an industry she grew up close to. As she grew older she
became a fashion student at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and interned
with Veranda and Allure magazine which were great opportunities for her. After
this she continued to attend fashion week as a volunteer to create more
contacts within the industry and created the opportunity for her to cover
society events for a photographer at PMc magazine. </div>

campaign which then led her to gain a modelling contract with IMG Models in
2015 who also have contracts with models such as Gigi Hadid, Miranda Kerr and
Kate Moss. She has also done a few pieces of work with Nordstrom who own a
chain of luxury department stores as well as being part of the CR fashion book.

as one of the three models to appear on a campaign for Beyoncé’s own website
promoting merchandise featuring lyrics from her formation album and her 2016 Formation
tour. This being one of her biggest pieces of work yet it then later that year
landed her editorial features with Glamour and Cosmopolitan magazine and again
early this year in February 2017 she appeared in Glamour. <o:p></o:p></div>

Jillian has been set on creating more diversity in
modelling since the beginning of her career as a disability activist. She has
teamed up with Instagram and other models who want to see more diversity in the
industry recently to create moving pictures for Instagram showing its ok to
have different looks in the industry. The modelling industry was never
something she had planned to get into as she didn’t believe it was something
she would be accepted into but as she met more photographer friends who she
modelled for as a bit of fun she considered it as a possibility. Looking how
far she has come in the past 3 years is incredible showing her determination to
get her name out there. Throughout her career she has worked alongside many
models with unconventional looks including Ashley Graham and Winnie Harlow who
you can find information about in previous blog posts. She wants people to know
her as a model and not be seen as a ‘disabled model’ in the future as she
believes at some point people won’t label people just because they aren’t all
the same.</div>

over these past 65 years? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Her career began as she was approached by the wife
of a photographer on the bus at age 13 and within a couple of years of this she
was being signed by Vogue and shot her first cover straight away aged 15. The
next year she did another Vogue cover dressed as different Disney characters.
Carmen and her mother struggled to survive on the wages she received as a model
and she was so malnourished her dresses had to be pinned back at shoots. She
always had the dream to become a ballet dancer but after being ill for a year
she had grown too weak and tall so all hopes of this were gone but if she had
gone on to be one she would never be where she is now. At age 21 she married
her first husband after being with him for 5 years prior. At 28 they conceived
their first child only for him to become unfaithful and leave. She then went on
to marry her second husband who was one of her photographers who also then
later decided to leave her. Her third marriage was also unsuccessful and also
faded out after 11 years which is when she realised it was time to give up on
it and now enjoys living herself. Carmen did not realise at her young age what
all these people saw in her and did not believe herself to be a cover girl like
the other models. She was not as outgoing as the other models and very much
kept herself to herself but believes modelling gave her experiences she never would
have had if she hadn’t got into it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">More recently in her life her look has become iconic
as she is so well known in the industry and to still be able to model as she
did before is incredible. At aged 85 this year she walked the end of the Paris
summer fashion week showing she’s still got what it takes. “Im going for 105
and then I’ll see if I want to change professions” she quotes to a Harpers Bazaar
showing she will always be interested in working in the industry. </span></div>

years she has worked with many great photographers including Richard Avedon who
she worked with in Paris, he helped her become great by showing her how to let
people see her best features in every picture taken. To help keep her beauty
she has had regular procedures done which have included frequent silicone
injections, a skin lift to get rid of her sun damaged skin and electrolysis to
get rid of her hairline. Even if she hadn’t had these procedures I’m sure she
would be looking just as good and would still be where she is today, walking on
the runway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

America’s Next Top Model, She is a Canadian model who is well known for having
a skin condition called vitiligo. This has never stopped her as she has created
a great name for herself in the industry. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Born in 1994 as Chantelle Brown-Young and at age 4 she was
diagnosed with vitiligo which cause depigmentation to her skin. Throughout her
childhood she moved from many schools due to bullying which eventually led to
her contemplating suicide. In 2013 she was asked to be part of a music video for
a song called “Natural Me” which then opened the door to her modelling career
as she started to get noticed.<o:p></o:p></div>

Chantelle was discovered on Instagram by Tyra Banks the host
of Americas next Top Model in 2014. She made it all the way to the second week
of the finals coming 6<sup>th</sup> overall in that year’s competition.
Following her elimination from the show she went on to model for a Spanish
company <b><a href="http://www.desigual.com/en_GB" target="_blank">Desigual</a></b> and is now their
official brand ambassador alongside Adrianna Lima. 2015 was another great year
for her as she walked in the spring/summer London fashion week and then went on
to work with Diesel as well on their spring/summer campaigns. Magazines such as
Cosmopolitan, Italian Vogue and the Spanish equivalent of Glamour have all
featured Winnie showing she has created her name for herself all over the world
doing some great campaigns. As a young model in the industry she is definitely
on her way up. Taking part in advertising campaigns for Sprite and Swarovski
and being chosen as one of BBC’s 100 Women shows her career is only just
starting. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Guardian spoke to Chantelle to find out more about her
breaking into the industry and they believe she is successfully challenging the
face of fashion with her look. In the interview she stated that <span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 107%;">"If one day I'm all black I'm still a
model. If one day I'm all white I'm still a model."</span> Showing that
she doesn’t let her skin define her look. She doesn’t just want to be a
spokesperson for vitiligo she wants to be signed by an agency and become a
model just like everyone else in the ever changing industry. The comments that
get made towards her, that she bleaches her skin and controls how her skin
changes are all false and are what makes her stronger and more determined. In
the interview she makes a joke and laughs that she can step away from all the
hate and look at her bank account and know that she has done well. <o:p></o:p></div>

activist. She wanted to get into the industry, yet she didn’t want to get into
the industry as a size 2 or 4. Her way of doing this was through putting her
own name out there, posting all over social media using the hashtag “#BeautyBeyondSize”
which is what she stood for and believed in. 10 years on and she still stands
strong against that which is hard in such a critical industry, she is a modern
day super model. In the 2017 New York fashion week 27 plus size models walked
the run way and this number should continue to increase over years. <o:p></o:p></div>

She has travelled
around high schools giving talks about body acceptance to teenagers and how she
believes its ok not have a stereotypical look and be different from others. As
well as being a body activist she has worked alongside the Themba Foundation in
South Africa supporting the orphaned and those suffering from starvation. Putting
so much of her spare time into supporting others it shows she cares about
making a change in the modern day. In 2016 she spoke some great words at
Beautycon with a memorable quote “There’s no reason we need to start telling
women who they are because of a number inside of their pants”. She is an
inspiration to women all over the world and will hopefully continue to embrace
her look for many years. <o:p></o:p></div>

The world of modelling has become so diverse in recent years
with so many different shapes and sizes but, what really makes a model? <o:p></o:p></div>

model not being your stereotypical women with legs that go on for days and a
figure that everyone wished they had. A prime example of these being the
Victoria Secret models who many people look up to as fashion icons and for body
inspiration. What people don’t think about is the fact all these models do is
train and eat healthy constantly and that it is their full time career to look
this way. Then there is also all the photo shopping that can be done to
pictures to create the perfect look. There are so many unique looks out there
now that need to be appreciated for example Winnie Harlow who was a contestant
on Americas Next Top Model or Jillian Mercado who was the face of the Diesel
spring 2014 campaign.</div>

Modelling agencies have started opening up to the idea that
not all women and men look a certain way and that it’s ok for them to be unique
and different in ways. One agency that embraces different kinds of people is
the <a href="http://www.ugly.org/2016/" target="_blank">“UGLY models agency”</a> which is based in London, UK. Something that has also helped different
people express themselves and the way they look is blogging, it has given
people a platform to express themselves no matter how they look. It also given
people the freedom to give their opinion and share their interests in fashion
and the media and show themselves off which will help to create body
confidence.<br />

The industry is so wide and is used all over the world in
many countries which also creates such diversity. Different countries have
different beliefs towards modelling and different ways of doing things depending
on their culture. There are many types of models out there that can include
catwalk, fashion, commercial, plus size, glamour modelling, fit modelling and
many more. Models can be of all ages but if they want it as a full time career
it can be a good idea to get involved at a young age so the ways of the
industry can be learned early. <o:p></o:p></div>

In this blog there will be posts about the different kind of
models out there in the industry and what makes them unique, with each post
talking about a different one. There will be a range of different models looked
into including different ethnic groups, age groups, models who have a
disability, male models, non-conventional looks and some others. It will tell
you a bit about the model themselves and explain some of the work they do and
how it has an impact on the media since they aren’t your stereotypical white
female model. It will also be looked at how they are seen as models whether
it’s on the catwalk or in a magazine and advertisements. Posts will also
include images of the work that they have done and explain some of the campaigns. <o:p></o:p></div>
