These 5 local models are breaking the modeling industry’s stereotypes one day at a time. Find out how they do it.
Over the years we’ve been conditioned to have an idea on how models are supposed to look. The image engrained into our minds are usually men and women who are shockingly thin or unbelievably ripped. Both are almost impossible to achieve for someone without Amazonian genes who currently lives a sedentary nine to five job. Despite this, these models are the blueprint for how we’re supposed to look and dress as per the campaigns they’re in. So, there’s a definite disconnect on how the majority look and how we’re perceived to look like. Not everyone can be a size 0, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying out the best of fashion.
That’s why we applaud these local models who are going against the model stereotype by being undeniably themselves. They’re conquering ageism, racism, discrimination, sexism, and other social injustices in the modeling industry. They’re not afraid to stand out and speak out for themselves and others. Meet the 5 local models who are breaking industry stereotypes.
