Crystal Rennes

The girl was previously considered a Plus-Size model and was quite successful. Now she has sharply lost weight, but has not lost ground at all.
Her story began at the age of 14. In Mississippi, she was accidentally picked up by a recruiter. Then she was confidently told that she would easily enter this business, but on one condition - she would have to lose at least a third of her weight.
The girl resolutely took on her weight, but this also became her problem. Sudden weight loss led to major health problems.

Renn completely overhauled her diet and changed her workout routine. Ultimately, she completely stopped losing weight - her diet was completely free of fats and carbohydrates, but this absolutely did not allow her to lose weight further.

The girl fell into despair and was about to give up, but a wise agent gave her a great idea - to advertise clothes for curvy girls.

The girl gained 32 kilograms, but still became a model. This is what brought her unprecedented success, because her unusual shapes by the standards of models made her famous.

Now the girl is a sought-after highly paid model.

Eniko Mihalik

The girl was born on May 11, 1987, in the city of Bekeschabe. The Hungarian model suffered a lot during times schooling. She was constantly bullied by her peers because of her excessive thinness. It was thanks to her that she got into the modeling business, albeit by accident. An employee of a modeling agency noticed a girl in mall and invited her to come to the audition. She was only fifteen then. In 2002, she took part in a national modeling competition, where she took first place. After that there was international competition in Tunisia. The girl was in 4th position. This made her famous and secured many contracts. Already in 2006, she entered the world of high fashion, where she took part in a large number of shows of famous fashion designers, where she represented famous brands.

Magdalena Frackowiak

The girl has been holding the brand for several years. This gives her an unusual appearance and a strong character. She is very much in demand and constantly takes part in the filming of various magazine covers.
In addition, she still walks the catwalk and participates in Richardson’s photo shoots. We wish her to delight her fans with beautiful photo sets more often.

Lindsey Wixson

Another model with unusual appearance. Not everyone will remain indifferent at the sight of her doll lips and thoughtful gaze.

Lindsay was born on April 11, 1994, in the town of Wichita, which is located in Kansas.
Her family was very ordinary, and the girl did not have great hopes for a stellar future. She never even dreamed of modeling and planned to become a chef or lawyer.
But in middle school, the girl became interested in the modeling business. She became actively interested in fashion, read various magazines and decided that with her appearance she could very well try the modeling business.

The first step was a letter to the agency in Kansas, but hopes were dashed by refusal. The girl did not despair and, with the support of her parents, decided to try again, in Los Angeles.

The Vision Models agency saw some potential in the girl, but soon this was not enough, and she moved to New York. There the girl enters into a contract with the Marilyn Agency. It is noteworthy that other agencies did not want to cooperate with her at all.

2009 was the beginning of her career on the catwalk, but what a strong start... Just one year later, she began to receive numerous invitations to shows.

The model was born in the suburbs of Amsterdam. Since childhood, the girl was slim and tall. It was at this time that European models entered the trend. Saskia also decided to try her luck, but she did not succeed in making a fateful proposal and a lightning-fast career. Already at 16, she realized that breaking into such a tough business would be very difficult, and maybe even impossible. After all, there is total competition there, and it doesn’t quite fit the required parameters.

The girl was not very upset by her failure and graduated from art school, after which she decided to become a professional photographer. She soberly assessed the situation and realized that it was better to try to earn a lot in real ways– after which she became a teacher and baker. Surprisingly, after a while, teenage dreams overtook her again, and this time successfully.

Jordan Dunn

The British model was born on August 3, 1990, in London. Another amazing success story, because she also got into this business by accident. She was spotted by an agent while walking in a Primark supermarket in 2006. This was followed by a contract with Storm Model Management in London.

2004 completely decided her fate - she graduated from school and decided to take up the modeling business in earnest. For this she moved to New York.

That rare case, when she dreamed of a modeling career since childhood and achieved her goal.

Already in 2007, after completing her studies at school, the girl went to New York. There she manages to get into the Elite Model Management agency, where she signs her first contract.

Joan did not achieve much success there and only posed for various clothing catalogs.

Kate is unique in everything - her unconventional appearance and small height (170 cm) did not prevent her from becoming a superstar in the modeling business.
