10 most unusual in the world of models

When we talk about supermodels, we usually represent humanoid Barbie and Ken - the beauty ideals of the late 20th - early 21st century. But ideals are changing, and our notion of beauty is also there. The media reflects our obsession with appearance, youth and sexuality, placing them on billboards and magazine covers.

The modeling industry has changed dramatically over the past few years, challenging public opinion about what "beautiful" and "coveted" means. Now supermodels come in all shapes and sizes and do not necessarily look like the Victoria's Secret angels.

Thanks to plastic surgery and modern technologies, now it's not difficult to be the same, and now it's not necessary for anyone. We start looking for something new and unusual. Below are the 10 most unusual models in the world.

Andrea (Andrew) Pežić

Andrei Pezhich was the most famous androgynous male model. Now he is a transgender woman. Model agents noticed him at the age of 17, when at that time another guy was earning money at McDonald's. He takes 98th place in the world ranking of the 100 most sexy women by FHM version.

Casey Legler

Casey Legler - a former Olympic swimmer, and now a supermodel. It is noteworthy in this model that this is the first woman to contract as a male model. In the modeling business came after a friend showed her pictures to the agency. So, it was taken in the Ford Models and yes, again, took as a male model!

Daphne Self

They say that the career of the model ends when it ceases to look young. Many retire at forty.

But Daphne Self went against the rules - in the modeling industry it is already 60 years old and does not intend to go anywhere. Daphne is a British age model representing such large and well-known brands as D & G and Tata-Naka. Now she is 85, and she looks amazing!

Rick Genest

Rick Ghenest (main photo), who is better known by the nickname "Zombie Boy", was born and raised in Canada. As a teenager, he was engaged in mountaineering (and was going to continue to trade this further) until he met Frank Lewis, a tattoo artist from Montreal. Then Lewis turned Genvest into a living work of art. You've probably seen a photo of a guy who's all solid tattoo of a skeleton - this is Rick.

Unusual tattoos all over the face and body made Genesta popular after it was noticed by Nicola Formichetti, fashion director Lady Gaga. Later, Rick starred in Gaga's video for the song Born this way, as well as in several films, including "47 Ronin" with Keanu Reeves in the title role.

In addition, he is a successful model, cooperating with many brands. For example, he was shooting in advertising of foundation (creative, is not it?)

Sean Ross

Sean Ross is the first albino model. He is a professional dancer, and in modeling since 16 years.

Sean appeared on the covers of Italian Vogue and GQ, collaborated with "ZHivanshi" and Alexander McQueen. In addition, he starred in the videos of Kathy Perry and Beyonce and participated in fashion shows.

Moffy

Moffy is young, slender and beautiful. She has the lips of Angelina Jolie and all the parameters of the ideal model. In addition to one defect: since childhood, Moffy has a very strong strabismus.

The amazing combination of beauty and imperfection helped her to achieve recognition in the fashion world, so it's unlikely that Mofi will correct this "shortcoming" in the near future.

Alex Minsky

Alex Minsky, a former employee of the US Navy, lost his leg while serving in Afghanistan. Alex says that it was difficult for him to survive the trauma - remission was difficult, the guy had to learn how to walk again, eat and communicate with the world. But he gathered his strength and decided to show everyone, and above all himself, that he could live, because he was engaged in sports. A war veteran and amputee became a model after he was seen in the gym by a fashion photographer. Amazing there are twists and turns in life!

Gillian Mercado

Gillian Mercado, a woman suffering from muscular dystrophy, went to model casting purely for fun. Surprisingly, Gillian got a job!

Now she is a new face of Diesel, she is shot in a wheelchair along with other supermodels. Despite the defect, she looks no less beautiful and confident than her colleagues. This again confirms how much faith in itself breaks stereotypes, and how much different from others is more important than being like everyone else.

Liu Xianping

Pictures of 72-year-old Liu Xianping, dressed in the images of his teenage granddaughter, conquered the Internet and became viral. It quickly turned into a sensation.

What was initially conceived as a joke, grew into a huge success. Now Liu is a travesty model and advertises women's clothing, surprisingly well suited to his lean legs. Liu himself says that he is happy helping his granddaughter, and that at 72 years only this may be the only important goal - to be happy.

Freeroll models

There are certain projects that ordinary models will not work with. Sometimes conventional models are not required - other types are looking for pictures. They can include people with dwarfism, bodybuilders, strongly tattooed, or with lots of body piercing. There is even an agency that deals with their search and selection, - Ugly Models. You will be surprised how unusual their characters can be!
