SHATTERING YESTERDAY’S PERCEPTION OF BEAUTY

‘Many people believe that in the most glamorous face, body, and fashion is the beauty of modeling. In the mainstream, we are continually bombarded with photographs showing us what we should and should not look like. Thin and classically attractive women whose faces reach our television screens, glossy covers of magazines and the Internet make us feel inadequate. However, the notion of "beauty" that one needs to get into modeling also needs to be pushed. But that is not true, the real beauty of modeling is in the self-confidence and style of a model. A change in fashion can be widened, just as Jane Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Nonetheless, people have changed in modern years, ideas have changed, and people are starting to embrace concepts that they used to condemn firsthand.

Models breakthrough to represent those that fall outside of the provincial beauty norms of fashion. Of course, this inclusion is often driven by a superficial tokenism, as luxury companies employ a remarkable "unconventional" style for the short flash of publicity. For instance, the all-black issue of Vogue Italia in July 2008 was an attention-getting effort that did not do anything to change the white standard. George Brown from RED Model Management said at that time, “It didn't bear fruit.”

ves. Categorically, slow fashion is neither business-as-usual nor just involving design classics.

Over the years, modeling companies have transformed a lot. Now, everyone will accomplish their dreams of becoming. In the fashion world, the paradigm of what constitutes 'beauty' is gradually changing. So, it is refreshing to see a new set of models proving that imperfections and flaws can be beautiful for a society that has a strong emphasis on portraying perfection.

imperfections and flaws can be beautiful for a society that has a strong emphasis on portraying perfection. These models are praised for being themselves and for their refusal to submit to industry norms and are attracting tremendous popularity in doing so. These unique models have conditions and disabilities that are quite different from what we usually see on the runway, which is different from the rest of the group. Models including Rain Dove, Ralph Souffrant, and Harlow Winnie are happy, proud, and confident to look different. Katie Piper is one such inspirational model who had an extraordinary journey in modeling as an acid attack survivor. In 2008, Katie Piper was brutally assaulted by a nineteen-year-old who threw sulphuric acid on her face. But the fact that she had third-degree burns on her face, throat, stomach, and hands overshadowed her ability to pursue modeling. It is very inspiring and exciting to see Piper’s passion. Such inspiring models deserve great applause for accepting their uniqueness. An "imperfection" is not necessarily considered odd. Freckles, blemishes, scars, tall or short, big, or small lips... the list starts and goes on. We need to understand these are not imperfections, these are a part of the human body and one must accept that gracefully.

World Model Hunt embraces diversity and puts a full stop to all the barriers and stereotypes in the modeling industry. We look for powerful and motivated models that encourage confidence. Hopefully, this positive progress continues, and the modeling industry standards evolve to introduce a broader vision and diversity. Moreover, World Model Hunt welcomes models fueled with strength and empowerment. Models considering their perfections as “imperfections”, reach out to us without any hesitation. Thomas Carlyle rightly said, “Imperfection clings to a person, and if they wait till, they are brushed off entirely, they will spin forever on their axis, advancing nowhere.” So, all the models out there, learn to turn your “flaws” into a fortune.
