When you think of supermodels, what comes to mind? Pretty face? Big long legs against the sky? Perfect body proportions?
Usually, the model participating in the international fashion catwalk is 178cm in height, and the minimum standard is also 175cm.
But one person is an exception.
Although she is only 168cm tall, not even enough to reach the standard line, she became the muse of "Lafayette" Karl Lagerfeld, endorsed CHANEL, and was held by Karl on the CHANEL runway.
You know, being led out of the show by Karl is the supreme glory of the fashion industry, and for the model, it is a fate-changing existence.
This man is Devon Aoki.
She was named the "initiator of the babyface supermodel", with a height of 168cm, is a "pocket supermodel", has been led by Carl twice to CHANEL's closing show, and is also the shortest model to endorse CHANEL.
Devon's appearance is actually very unique, and people who like it especially like it, and people who hate it have a hard time understanding this so-called "beauty".
In 1996, 14-year-old Devon signed a contract with a model agency to become a model, and with his unusual height and appearance, he became a unique presence in the modeling circle.
She has three bloodlines: her father is of Japanese descent and her mother is of German and English descent. She said: "I have freckles, I'm not very tall, and I'm not perfect. But times are changing, people like and accept different races, and that shift is really exciting. "
Indeed, Devon met the best of times for models.
Because everyone likes to be different.
Big-name photographers rushed to take pictures of her, Alexander McQueen also specifically sought her to work with Nick Knight, major brands love her to the bone, "Lafayette" Karl Lagerfeld regarded her as a muse.
Devon also "snatched" the Versace endorsement from the black pearl Naomi Campbell.
Moschino designer Jeremy Scott is even more in love with Devon, and to this day, he still has Devon endorse and walk the catwalk arm in arm with her.
It can be seen that although the forms of beauty are different, people's aesthetic standards are also different.
But don't pay too much attention to unimportant voices.
You must first recognize yourself before you can make others love you. For example, Devin, even if she does not have the slender figure of a standard model, even if her face is full of freckles, people still love her.
