Do you think Gigi Hadid can only “act evil” on virtual social networks? Big mistake!
The world’s top veteran supermodel Naomi Campbell once frankly admitted: “I don’t need to love famous guys, because I make them all famous” . The assertion seems like a boast, but in fact clearly shows the power of international supermodels, the long legs that carry terrible power in the fashion world.
In the 4.0 era, when names like Naomi or Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista… “retire”, a new generation of talented models appears. We have Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid… or most notably Gigi Hadid, who is praised by the public as the “new generation supermodel”.
Talking about Gigi’s influence, it’s impossible to forget the time she changed an unknown model’s life thanks to just a quick photo. Remember that at the end of 2021, the model born in 1995 posted on Instagram a photo of the back of a black model. That slim figure and almost tiny waist quickly attracted a storm of likes across social networking sites.
“My inspiration today is this queen. I was so busy looking at that beautiful back that I didn’t take a picture of her front, but I’m sure she’s amazing!”, Gigi commented on the model. that
In fact, the character in the photo did not know that he was secretly photographed by the famous “It Girl”. This black girl is Nanga Awasum – only 23 years old at that time, a model of Cameroonian descent. Nanga just “got her feet wet” and came to New York to look for an opportunity to shine and change her life through modeling work in one of the world’s major fashion capitals.
The body of black women has many advantages that are respected in the fashion industry suc
h as: long legs, short back, thin bones and quite plump breasts even though the body may be very slim.
With a tiny waist and a height of approximately 1m78, Nanga Awasum came to New York to look for an opportunity to change her life.
After recognizing herself in the quickly taken photo frame, Nanga Awasum humorously “tweeted” Gigi Hadid’s photo: “@GigiHadid would have changed my life if I turned my face in the right direction” . Luckily, Gigi herself recognized the model and re- shared Nanga’s post with a few words of encouragement: “You’re facing the right place you should be facing. Sending you lots of love, Nanga! “.
Meaningful words of encouragement from the new supermodel
After just one night, Nanga Awasum found her life changed as if by magic. A series of modeling agencies contacted her to sign long-term contracts, and many brands offered to invite Nanga to be the face of their advertising campaigns.
Touched by the supermodel’s gesture, Nhan Awasum confided: “I was criticized by people, rejected by many companies, never had any job. Then Gigi Hadid discovered and praised me. , sees me as an image of perfection. This has completely changed my life in just this month. After today, I believe my career will also take a step forward .”
Behind the limelight, the modeling world has many reputations for fighting and competing for rights that seem to only happen in movies. But the story of Gigi Hadid’s beautiful actions is considered a highlight of the international model industry, because overcoming barriers of social status, sympathy has brought women closer together.
