Beauty beyond the norm
What is beauty? If you want to become a model, you do not have to comply with the norm. We present ten inspiring models who have made it onto catwalks and glossy magazines despite or because of their special optical features.
These ten models have a clear message to the world: Asymmetrical facial features, skin diseases, liver spots and other peculiarities that are not considered "beautiful" in the eyes of the general public, are no reason to quarrel with his looks. On the contrary, even with that or that's why you can become famous and even supermodel.
Models with Taint: Cindy Crawford with mole
It is the original idea of the perfect, imperfect model: Cindy Crawford's liver spot on her mouth could easily have been removed at the beginning of her career in the 90s. Instead, it became its signature, which is even artificially copied by women today.
Models with Toggle: Georgia May Jagger with Gap
Nobody really knows why a fat gap between the incisors is erotic. However, Georgia May Jagger is not the first model to become famous for that very reason. Lily Aldridge, Lara Stone and Vanessa Paradis are also known as "dream women" with their "Tooth-Gaps".
Models with blemishes: Kristy Hinze with a big nose
This nose is far too big by usual standards. The Australian Kristy Hinze was still a supermodel. She was seen in Vogue as well as in "Australia's Next Top Model" and today, like Heidi Klum, hosts the local version of "Project Runway".
Broad face, narrow lips, eyes wide apart: Model agencies certainly do not describe the basic requirements for the profession. The British Lily Cole was discovered on the street at the age of 14 and has been modeling for labels like Luis Vuitton, Prada and Marc Jacobs ever since.
This model is just getting big: Instead of hiding her skin disease vitiligo, Winnie Harlow makes her a hallmark and capital. In the summer season 2014, she is with "America's Next Top Model" with it.
In her native India, Lakshmi Menon did not fit into the ideal of the sweet girl with delicate features. Did not need her either. With her androgynous appearance, she instead conquered labels such as Hermès, Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier, which they already booked for their campaigns.
Models with blemishes: Shaun Ross with albinism
Afro-American Shaun Ross suffers from albinism, but became famous with his skin disease and the atypical: since 2008 he is a professional model and has already appeared in music videos by Katy Perry and Beyoncé.
Models with Taint: Stacey McKenzie with a big mouth
This face is known: Stacey McKenzie made a name for herself with a big mouth, huge eyes and facial features that are anything but "classically beautiful". Of course, extravagant designers like Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier love the Canadian!
Models with blemishes: Lindsey Wixon with big teeth
Kansas-based Lindsey Wixon has powerfully big teeth and an unusually large mouth. Not nice? Oh yes, finds the fashion industry and booked the model already for "Vogue Italia" and the New York Fashion Week.
Tobias Sorensen was attacked by a dog as a child and has since had a prominent scar on his face. Was this the dream of the modeling profession destroyed? That's all for now, thought the native Dane well, and today is one of the highest-paid male models in the world.
