Strange look

The most interesting face type of models. This is what model scouts are most often chasing. When looking at such a model, one cannot say that she is a classic beauty and looks physically attractive, but there is something truly attractive and unusual in such faces. These could be too protruding ears, an unusually shaped mouth or nose, too wide-set eyes - something special that catches the eye. Models with this appearance are very rare, but as a rule, girls with a strange look

, they themselves do not realize how valuable and attractive they are in the modeling industry. This appearance can be called very rare and in demand in the modeling business.

Having the most attractive appearance from the point of view of the modeling industry does not mean... The most important link in a modeling career is the agent or manager of a modeling agency, who will explain to you how unique you are and competently select projects that are suitable specifically for your appearance.

The trend for contouring, and with it chiseled facial features and high, prominent cheekbones, is gradually losing relevance. Whatever one may say, in life girls with the “baby face” type - that is, with cute childish faces - are much more lucky. They have large expressive eyes, plump lips (and we’re not talking about “dumplings” pumped full of fillers), a neat nose, a small chin and round cheeks touched with a gentle blush. In their 30s and even 40s, owners of “doll” faces continue to look like teenagers. A classic example is Natalia Vodianova, who, looking at her photographs, you will never guess how old she really is. We asked the chief physician of the Beauty Doctor plastic surgery clinic, Alexander Dudnik, to explain why girls with so-called “baby faces” a priori win in the fight for long-lasting youth.

Emma Bunton, 41

Chubby cheeks and an innocent, childish smile do their job: 41-year-old mother of two Emma Bunton looks no worse than at the dawn of her singing career in the Spice Girls. She still lives up to her nickname Baby Spice one hundred percent today.

Representatives of the fashion industry are sure: a chiseled chin and sunken cheekbones, which make girls look visually older, are no longer relevant. Remember Reese Witherspoon, Natalia Vodianova or Miranda Kerr - all these celebrities are bright representatives of the baby-face type, whose age you are unlikely to guess on the first try. But how do they manage to look so much younger than their peers? Experts assure: for those with “childish” faces, aging occurs according to a special scenario. Chief physician of the Beauty Doctor plastic surgery clinic Alexander Dudnik

The site revealed all the secrets of representatives of this lucky type in all respects.

“The fact is that children’s, chubby faces have quite pronounced Bisha lumps (which many are now trying to remove) and a thick layer of subcutaneous fat. On a young face, the volume is evenly distributed, which creates an attractive appearance. Therefore, the longer a person maintains a good layer of fatty tissue, the longer the face will remain young. A girl with apple cheeks will always look younger. The same goes for lips: if you have naturally thin lips, you will most likely appear older than you actually are,” explains the expert.

According to Alexander Dudnik, preserving fatty tissue and a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid is the key to youth. “If you torture yourself with diets or fitness, oxygen “melts” the subcutaneous fat layer and your face ages much faster. This is why biorevitalization is so useful. If the tissue becomes dry, then creases and wrinkles form on the face. And hyaluronic acid, in turn, when introduced into the body, acts as a natural moisturizer and attracts water,” the doctor added.

Those with a baby-face and a nose are lucky. Specialists from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have conducted a number of studies proving that it actually changes over the years. As the skin thins and loses elasticity, the tip may droop and widen. However, if the nose itself is miniature, then it is not afraid of serious age-related changes and sagging.

In the modern institution of celebrity, models occupy the top positions, embodying the image of a luxurious and easy life: it seems that all you need to do is to be born beautiful and get to the right place - and now six-figure sums begin to flow into your account, and you just walk down the catwalk in expensive clothes and take pictures. Firstly, this is not true (see “eating disorders”, “terrible competition”, “exhausting fashion weeks”, “poverty”), and secondly, the position of models in the hierarchy of the fashion industry has not always been impeccable. At the beginning of the 20th century, girls demonstrating fashion collections were equated to a marginal class: this profession was considered inappropriate for “decent” women, so girls from poor, dysfunctional families became fashion models. They were called “mannequins” (“models” were the collection’s display pieces), which obviously dehumanized the woman and reduced her perception and role to a clothes stand. It was this connotation of “an empty doll with ideal proportions of face and body” that would persist in the industry until the 1970s, and in society much longer: this is where the habit of disparagingly calling models “hangers” comes from.

The first designer who decided to use catwalk shows instead of static presentations is considered to be London fashion designer Lucy Duff Gordon. She herself trained fashion models for her fashion house, giving them stage names, which also evoked associations with priestesses of love. By 1910, almost all Parisian couturiers had their own models on staff, and of two categories: some demonstrated collections at the show, others - to private clients in the atelier. That was where their differences ended. They all had regular facial features and a harmonious physique; to put it simply, they were beauties by the standards of the time - girls who dreamed of becoming actresses, but were weeded out by Hollywood, often became fashion models.

There was no such thing as rigid model parameters expressed in centimeters. On the contrary, designers used models of different sizes to show the variability of their models. At that time, fashion models did not serve as the personification of an unattainable ideal of beauty - on the contrary, they were supposed to imitate the proportions of the average couture clients, be they Parisian aristocrats or the wives of American nouveau riche. Some couturiers, including Jean Patou, even ordered models from America, since it was believed that French women with their body type would not be able to “sell” outfits to American clients.

Is it really that easy?

And finally. Don’t forget that a girl’s model appearance is not all that is necessary for this profession. Think carefully about how difficult it is to walk this path. Achieving your goals is not so easy. You have to go through a lot before you get that coveted status of a famous model.

In a word, this business is a huge job. It would seem, at first glance, that this work is very simple and fun. In reality, these are daily grueling assigned tasks. There are many aspiring models, and the competition is very high. Therefore, in order to become famous, so that your name is recognizable, you need to regularly take part in various castings, agree even to small fees for contracts, in general, for almost all the work offered to you. And even if in a day you have to travel around dozens of studios located in different parts of the city, getting up at 5 am and returning at 2 am, you should under no circumstances show your fatigue or bad mood.

So, weigh the pros and cons before deciding to become a model. Think about the fact that you will always need to look perfect, regardless of any circumstances. If you are ready for this, and your appearance meets all the above criteria, welcome to the modeling business!

00s

It is believed that the decline of the era of supermodels was caused, firstly, by the reluctance of designers to pay that very conditional $10,000 for a shoot or appearance at a show. Therefore, modeling agencies increasingly began to offer brands new faces from South America and Eastern Europe - these girls asked for much less, and against the backdrop of familiar figures they looked fresh and new. Secondly, by the early 2000s, fashion had swung towards the intellectual, without fireworks in the spirit of Versace, and it demanded new faces that would not overshadow the collection.

Therefore, on the one hand, the trend for painfully thin, anorexic-looking girls with strange alien faces has gained momentum on the catwalks - we partly owe this to one of the key designers of the early 2000s, Alexander McQueen, from whose initiative everything strange became trendy. On the other hand, a trend towards a new sexuality is beginning to develop, led by Victoria's Secret "angels". Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio gradually returned classic femininity to the catwalks, although it was still most in demand in the “lingerie” segment, where the sexuality of things was traditionally presented through the sexuality of their wearer.

In general, the 2000s turned out to be a decade extremely prolific for a variety of types of model appearance (and therefore female beauty in general). The trends of non-commercial models like “angels” coexisted with atypical beauty in the person of Daria Verbova and Coco Roshi, and the “Tutti heir dolls” Gemma Ward and Lily Collins got along well with the androgynous Agnes Deyn and Freja Beha Eriksen. It was the boom in androgynous models of the late 2000s that can be called a harbinger of what we see on the catwalks today: the blurring of gender differentiation, neofeminism and the revival of the popular 1990s idea of ​​unisex - this time, the new creative director of Gucci.
