to the united states after she moved to the united states she was signed by an agency
and she got her first job modeling for vogue in 1976. soon after that she quickly established
herself as a supermodel and she had a little bit of an acting career as well
you guessed right i know who you are did you enjoy it when you were modeling had to always
look glamorous and everything i think i probably enjoyed it more than i knew uh
you think you don't you think i didn't think i was involved you know with vanity but certainly i was
lauren got started as a model in the 70s and she was actually advised by her agents
to hide her gap teeth in 1973 she signed a contract with revlon cosmetics for 250 000
for 20 day shoots now at the time this was the biggest contract in the modeling industry so
because of this she got a lot of interest from hollywood and she was able to develop a successful
acting career the life of Gia Carangi is one of the most popular model stories in the world
gia was considered to be the first true supermodel as she was desired all over the world everyone
loved working with gia she was beautiful she was young she was vibrant and after her agent and
mentor wilhelmina cooper died of lung cancer she picked up a cocaine addiction which later became
a heroin addiction by then no one wanted to work with gia because she was losing so much weight
she was visibly sick and then she left her mother agency at wilhelmina and signed with ford only to
be dropped a few weeks later ultimately gia died at the age of 26 from aids-related complications
there's actually a biopic of her life called gia which was played by angelina jolie this is one of
the best movies about modeling if you haven't seen this movie and you're interested to become a model
definitely watch this it shows you the dark side of the modeling industry and points out
a few things that you guys should be aware of you see i've never thought i was good looking at
any shape or form because vivian lee and lana turner and other gardener and rita hayworth
i thought were beautiful i didn't look like them so i thought you know it can't be good looking
right china is actually a five six portuguese and chinese model at the height of her career
she was actually considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world she was the first
non-white person to appear in an american fashion magazine and that was harper's bazaar in 1959
she was a sign model all the way until her early 80s and she ultimately passed at the age of 86.
and this is one of my favorite stores to go shopping victoria secret heidi actually wanted
to become a dancer but she was convinced to enter a face of the year competition in Germany
in which she actually won then she became a sign model in Europe and had a successful career
before moving to the united states as soon as she moved to the united states she started
working with victoria's secrets and that's when her career took off and she became a supermodel
cindy crawford was actually known as baby gia because of her resemblance to Gia Carangi
and if you guys look at this photo side by side it's almost very difficult to tell who's gia and
who's cindy crawford cindy crawford was able to leverage the resemblance to jia to her advantage
and she quickly used this to rise to fame and become a supermodel l was known as the body
because she appeared on sports illustrated a record-breaking five times initially she
was enrolled as a law student in australia but she wanted to come to the united states for a year and
try her luck in modeling and linda does she know she quickly rose to fame and became a supermodel
linda moved to new york in the 80s at the age of 19 and she was signed with elite model management
she quickly rose to fame as a high fashion editorial model for her edgy features and
she appeared in more than 700 magazine covers before turning 21. linda is often confused for
milla jovovich who starred in the movie the fifth element again this is another freaky resemblance
that it's kind of hard to tell who's who when you look at these side by side images when
you're walking on the runway because you you know you're working you're doing a show you're showing
the new collections of whatever designer you're working for whereas working on the red carpet
it's you who you are as a person naomi campbell is the O.G of modeling she's been modeling for a very
long time and she's still at the top of her career in her 50s naomi campbell was actually a dancer
she was a trained dancer from a very young age all the way until her late teens she actually appeared
in a music video for bob marley and then she was discovered and convinced to try modeling and her
career took off she is known for having one of the strongest runway walks in the history of maudlin
finally on this list is kate moss kate moss was able to strut the runway despite
not meeting the height requirements she's only five seven potentially shorter than five seven
but she was still able to have a very successful career on and off the runway she was recruited at
the age of 14 at JFK airports and had her first magazine cover at the age of 16. however in the
early 2000s she lost almost 4 million dollars in modeling contracts when a footage of her
using cocaine was sold to the tabloids and that pretty much ended her career so guys these are
some of the greatest models of all time there are a lot of models that i left off this list
