This Is How All The Top Legendary Models Were Actually Discovered! (3 of 7)

Iman

We learned of Iman’s journey from a write-up covered in Vogue. She talked about her first photoshoot with hit photographer Peter Beard back in her hometown in Kenya. Thanks to Beard’s reputation and Iman’s talent, those photographs were very much admired when Beard presented those to others in the same industry in New York.

Alek Wek

While Alek was strolling around in the streets of London, she was noticed by a Models 1 agent.

Later on, in the same year, she appeared in a music video by Tina Trucker. Soon after, she was signed by Ford as one of their models.

Coco Rocha

Coco was one of the participants in a dance competition in Ireland when her inner modeling streak got noticed. 14-year-old Rocha was sitting and having fun backstage with her friends when a man accosted her and asked if modeling was on her mind. Funnily, her first instinct was that the man was a security guard or somebody else from the crew of the competition and was there to ask her to keep her feet down as she was resting hers atop an expensive-looking table.

She thought it to be either some joke or that the man had some eyesight issue, as quoted by Buzzfeed.

Currently, Coco is a well-known model and has done campaigns for Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior among many more.

Bella Hadid

Bella had enrolled herself for a course in photography in New York at Parsons School of Design.

But, when she started getting success as a model, she made the right choice and dropped out of college to give modeling her full focus. She signed with IMG and got to make her New York Fashion Week debut in the year 2014.

Sui He

This world-renowned, Chinese supermodel’s journey started as one of the participants of a fashion competition in China at the age of 17. Although she was completely new to runways and had had no training before, she came out as a winner.
