In 2021, at China Fashion Week, a strange thing happened.
Obviously it is a women's runway, but mixed with a male model, and walking is still C position, he wears women's clothing, beautiful and sassy, very stunning.
Compared with the team of professional female models who followed behind, he showed a different charm. Although he is less than 1 meter 8 tall, his aura is close to 2 meters 1 when he walks up to the show.
What is the origin of this model in women's clothing? The guests present could not help but silently search: Lu Xianren.
After reading his information, the professionals in the circle shouted: It's incredible, this child is Fed by God!
Even Jin Dachuan, who ranks in the top 50 male models in the world, can't help but forward his catwalk video, praising him for his absolute temperament.
Lu Xianren, formerly known as Lu Kaigang, was born in 1999 to a poor family in rural Guangxi, and it can be said that when he was young, he did not have the opportunity to contact fashion-related things.
However, he is simply a cool male protagonist, although born poor but all the way to the green light, from a rural boy to become an international supermodel, on the international fashion week catwalk, to Paris and other fashion paradise catwalk, or a proper C position!
This is the dream opportunity of many professional models, and it is actually taken up by a rural wild boy.
What kind of unique charm does this Lu Immortal have? Did his success depend entirely on talent?
Let's take a look at his path to fame.
Wear garbage catwalk, in TikTok burst into flames
People in the urban-rural interface, the heart in New York Fashion Week, this is the netizens' most appropriate evaluation of Lu Xianren.
He had no nice clothes, no financial support, no training, and no spacious stage.
He took local materials, transformed and utilized leaves and branches, woven bags, and plastic bags, and some waste products that had nothing to do with fashion immediately became a model on him, and did not lose the big name couture.
His skillful hands, coupled with his innate sense of fashion, can always turn decay into magic, and put cheap things into noble textures.
- With his mother's brushed bowling gloves, he could wear the luxury and elegance of a noblewoman.
- A plastic tarp can turn into his sexy bandeau dress.
- A common straw hat in the countryside, he wore a feeling that we could not afford to buy.
- "Grandma brand" red old blanket, I believe that every family has one, but after he put it on, it instantly becomes the feeling of high-grade fur, and it becomes a celebrity in minutes.
Netizens commented: You have redefined a blanket.
- The waste products in everyone's eyes, such as garbage bags, woven bags, and plastic bags, immediately became heartwarming fashion items on his body.
He wears these garbage-transformed costumes and uses heaven and earth as a catwalk. Whether it is the village head path, the hilltop meadow, or the abandoned factory, it can become his large-scale show.
Since it is difficult to buy suitable women's shoes, in the early videos, Lu Xianren walks bare-legged with his heels, pretending to have a pair of invisible high heels.
The floor was hot in the summer, the ground was cold in the winter, there were stones and sand on the ground, and there were even sharp iron nails on the factory floor, but these did not affect his perseverance on the catwalk.
Once in the summer, he wore a thick blanket to walk the catwalk, fever to 40 degrees, or insisted on recording to the end, the pursuit of perfection. The next day I fell asleep straight throughout the day.
However, these difficulties never brought him down.
He was alone in the stage of his imagination, intoxicated.
He has an international face of God who appreciates food
From a secular point of view, Lu Xianren was not handsome at all, even a little ugly, and it was difficult to marry a daughter-in-law in the village.
His lean face, squinting eyes, collapsed nose bridge, high cheekbones, thick lips, bamboo pole figure, a pair of narrow shoulders, thrown in the crowd unremarkable.
However, his world-weary face, with the pace that his six relatives do not recognize, can instantly open the aura, there is an inexplicable sense of superiority, handsome and sassy, people can't stop.
The good-looking skin bag is the same, Lu Xianren's characteristic face shape and temperament, but can make people unforgettable, no matter how professional the model is on the same stage with him, it is always inferior.
He doesn't feel pretentious in women's clothes, and he doesn't feel feminine when he wears men's clothes. Many models put on clothes, everyone's attention shifted to the clothes and ignored the model, and Lu Xianren seemed to have a kind of magic, feeling that he could always blend with the clothes, so that people could both appreciate the clothes he showed and see the personal charm he exuded.
Netizens compared the face shape of Lu Xianren and his big cousin Liu Wen, Lü Yan and other supermodels, only to find a striking similarity, it turned out that he was born with an international face and a special model temperament: wild, cold and with the shyness of a young man, this is the rhythm of God chasing the meal to eat.
Lu Xianren's success seemed to be doomed from the beginning.
You can look at his video in early 2019, when he was not as famous as he is now, but at that time there were many "prophets" in the comments section:
You will be an internationally popular supermodel.
Do you believe that one day maybe he will be on the world stage?
He is a very characteristic international face, has a model temperament, as long as someone finds him and cultivates him, he will definitely shine.
This face actually made me see the shadow of the international supermodel, and I felt that it was not far from the fire.
Sign me a name, the courier fee I pay, I am afraid that in the future you will become a supermodel star, then there will be no chance again.
The eyes of the masses are shining, and the talent cannot be concealed.
Lu Xianren lived up to expectations, made rapid progress, and in less than half a year, he got rid of the identity of Internet celebrities and embarked on the real catwalk.
This is the peak of how many professionally trained models in the circle have struggled for ten years and eight years, but now it has been achieved by this rural guy who has not received any relevant guidance.
The year he became popular, he was only 20 years old. Most of his peers are still studying on college campuses, falling in love, and living a carefree life dressed to stretch out their hands and eat, but Lu Xianren has already stepped onto the international stage.
His success really depends on his talent, god to eat food?
Once ridiculed as a pervert who was neither male nor female, he never flinched
Three points are destined, seven points rely on hard work, life has always been like this.
Although Lu Xianren has a unique vision of beauty and a sense of fashion, he was born in a poor rural family, with no culture and no insight, even if it is gold, covered by rags, it will not be discovered.
People who know a little about the countryside know that even if they dress a little differently, they can become the talk of the villagers, and they can be pointed out when they go out.
Not to mention that Lu Xianren not only dressed strangely, with his chest and back exposed, but also men's and women's clothes, heavy makeup, with earrings, wearing high heels, in the eyes of rural people, it was crazy, incomprehensible, and even his family could not look up.
Lu Xianren recalled that when he was filming a video in the township, he was pointed at the nose by a big sister who did farm work and scolded perverts, who were not different and bad manners.
Make clothes, do styling, and then make up, catwalk, shoot videos, edit, all rely on Lu Xianren alone, to complete a video often takes several days, when he began to post to the Internet, the amount of playback was mediocre, and even insulted.
Netizens scolded him for not being a man or a woman, and the countrymen were sensationalizing and relying on vulgarity to attract attention.
Colleagues also said that he was not doing his job, and his parents repeatedly advised him to give up.
Generally, professional male models are from 185cm tall, while Lu Xianren's height of 178cm is a fatal short board in this industry, and he is born with narrow shoulders and a slender figure, and there are no prerequisites for being a male model at all.
But those who were not strong enough in their hearts, in the face of these stormy difficulties, had long since retreated, while Lu Xianren was not. He was steadfast in his dreams and kept walking barefoot, all because of love.
Born poor, he worked to realize his dreams
His family is not well-off, his parents have gone out to work since he was a child, and he and several sisters are left-behind children at home, relying on their grandmother for their lives.
In the isolated countryside, the only thing that can touch the outside world is the dilapidated television set at home.
While his peers were obsessed with watching all kinds of wonderful cartoons, Lu Xianren was fascinated by the model catwalk on the TV set.
I don't know why, there is nothing related to fashion around him, and he has not worn a few new clothes since he was a child, but he feels that the model has a charm that cannot be said.
The other children were playing and playing, but he learned the model steps on the TV, learning their postures, eyes and movements, practicing over and over again in the narrow living room of the house.
In the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school, he firmly believed in his dream: he must become a fashion model in the future.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very bone.
There were no conditions at home, and it was impossible to send him to professional modeling training, and for his parents, this was simply a fantasy.
Forced to make a living, Lu Xianren went out to work at the age of 16, and all kinds of dirty work were done. I have entered the factory as an assembly line, worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and worked as an apprentice in a hair salon, although I tried my best, I could barely earn 2500 yuan a month.
No matter how hard he worked, he never forgot to take time to practice the stage steps, study the expressions at a fixed point, collect other people's discarded bags, rags, design clothing, and then ask colleagues to help him record videos, and then play back a little correction and improvement.
He took his phone and followed the video to learn makeup, and inexperienced him smeared himself like a monkey's ass with cheap makeup.
With poor academic performance, he was able to calm down and study the professional knowledge related to shooting and editing.
After his continuous learning and improvement, he has the characteristic "clothing" that we see today that do not lose to international brands.
The external conditions are not up to the standard of male models, so he has opened up a new world and entered the female model industry.
In just 3 years, Lu Xianren has won nearly 10 million fans in Douyin and become a first-line internet celebrity; he also rushed out of the country and embarked on the international stage, finally a dream come true.
At its peak, it fell into the door of plagiarism
However, people are not red, Lu Xianren burst red after earning money, bicycles become BMW, at this time some people say that he shows off his wealth, but the money he earns with strength, why can't he dispose of it at will, and the money everyone earns is hidden and not spent?
However, these doubts were only small fights, and at his peak, they were suspected of plagiarism.
The "Dragon Dragon Is Not Fashionable" as an Internet celebrity provides strong evidence to confirm that Lu Xianren is similar to his original works in terms of clothing, human design, and creative points.
Long Long is not fashionable is the first to start doing rural catwalks, is the originator of rural models, but was caught up by Lu Xianren's latecomers and seized the market.
However, netizens were not affected by this plagiarism incident and still chased after Lu Xianren. Although he and Longlong are not fashionable style, he has come out of his own different characteristics, and his popularity benefits from his creativity in clothing, his innate sense of fashion, and his ability to cross gender and control various styles.
Such strength cannot be achieved by mere imitation. The certification of the international stage is also a recognition of the strength of Lu Xianren.
Can the inspirational life of a rural boy be imitated by everyone?
It has to be said that lu xianren's success has redefined internet celebrities, and he is the first and only supermodel in the history of Douyin to fight back from internet celebrities to the international stage.
At the same time, Lu Xianren also redefined the supermodel, creating a new world for men to be female models, breaking the industry rule that small people cannot be supermodels.
Without a strong background and a good family situation, Lu Xianren relied on his own talent and unremitting efforts to overcome all difficulties, turn ridicule into self-confidence and courage, and turn the daydreams of other people into dreams.
In three years, a rural boy walked on the international catwalk with his love, and Lu Xianren's growth path confirmed the old saying: as long as there are dreams in his heart, everywhere is a stage, as long as people have dreams and work hard for them, they will be great!
Most of us are ordinary and ordinary "land ports", as long as we work harder and persist a little more than ordinary people, or we can break through ourselves and turn our unattainable dreams into reality.
Wonderful recommendation from the last issue
Two men have no smoke of war: one on the international stage, one stranded in the countryside, why
