MODELING

Your great reveal starts here.

Voices of Experience

“I always wanted to be a model. I wasn’t thinking about the traveling, the glamour, the money . . . none of that. I just wanted to wear the best fashions in the best photographs. I have the drive for that.”
—Linda Evangelista

“I’m more the sporty, tomboy type.”
—Elaine Irwin

“What’s most important is not what you’re wearing but what’s on your face. Your eyes always betray your insides.”
—Helena Christensen

“When I’m working with good photographers who I feel a rapport with, I don’t think about anything but the picture. On more boring jobs, I like to think about my grocery list or decorating my apartment.”
—Cindy Crawford

“I don't like doing pictures as myself. I like to be made into someone else.”
—Kate Moss

“The energy you give off is the energy you receive. I really think that, so I'm always myself - jumping, dancing, singing around, trying to cheer everybody up.”
Cara Delevingne

“Today, I find beauty in more unexpected places. I’ve never been much of a punk rocker, but I love the punk era. It was a time when people didn’t spend hours trying to look picture-perfect. It was rough around the edges. I don’t like things that are too perfect, clean, or groomed. I like when there’s a bit of something weird or different.”
Jill Kortleve

More commentary . . .

“A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too. I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness.”

“It’s a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don’t like is predictable.”
—Naomi Campbell

“When it comes to taking a picture, you have to connect for that frame. You have to connect to the photographer, with the stylist, and also to the reader and whoever views the image. And you have to maintain that connection you have to be within that moment.”
—Sean O’Pry

“I always say, even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.”
—Cindy Crawford

—Claudia Schiffer

“In this job an illusion of beauty is sold which doesn’t really exist like that.”
—Heidi Klum

“I’m like, ‘Don’t have such a blank stare on your face.’ I’ve got resting bitch face so I’m trying to think about happy thoughts now when I model. I’m trying not to look like I’m about to murder someone.”
—Bella Hadid

“I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model.”
—Candice Swanepoel

“People tend to think that male models are uneducated and they thrive off their looks alone, but most of the successful male models I have worked with over the years are very smart and well-rounded.”
— Brad Kroenig

“Being Danish, you become very self-ironic and you have a certain confidence in yourself that doesn’t allow for other people to put pressure on you. That was probably a very important quality to come into the business with. No one was messing with me, that’s for sure.”
—Helena Christensen

PICTURE PERFECT!
