From "Ugly Girl" to Supermodel Lv Yan's popularity in Parisian fashion circles.
At the end of this century, the 2000 World Supermodel Competition was a big surprise. In people's eyes, Lv Yan, an "ugly girl" who has absolutely no chance of winning the prize, won the second place. Prior to this, the best ranking of China models in this competition was fourth.
After winning the prize, Lv Yan immediately returned to France, where she worked for several months. The author interviewed her by overseas telephone. Although Lv Yan has become a supermodel, her cheerful personality has not changed. She doesn't care about her ugliness or her poor birth.
Super accident: the ugly duckling in the eyes of famous teachers
Lv Yan is tall and ugly, so he got into the habit of bending over and walking. When studying in a technical secondary school in Nanchang, Lv Yan was very dissatisfied with his lack of confidence, so he went to a model training company to practice his steps and correct his walking posture. Later, I gradually became interested. Nanchang's agent brought Lv Yan to Beijing. By chance, Li Dongtian and Feng Hai, famous domestic image designers, found that she was not beautiful but very distinctive, so they took a group of photos for her, and they couldn't take any more pictures.
Lv Yan is very cheerful and lively. Lv Yan has been a boy since childhood. In my hometown, if there is only one girl in the game hall, it is Lv Yan, and then there is another girl, Lv Yan's sister. Perhaps it is this masculine character that makes her easy to get along with people and get familiar with them. People around you can feel her vitality and cheerfulness, as well as a gentle and cordial feeling. When the photographer took her picture, her bright smile infected everyone nearby. She turns her head and twists her waist, and she will pose in various shapes as long as she needs it. Everyone who works with her likes her very much and says that she has a strong spirit of cooperation. Arisha, the styling director of Ports, also said that I like this girl very much. It is commendable that she has such a strong spirit and sense of cooperation.
The Adventures of Ugly Women: The Romantic Fate of Paris
In June, 2000, a staff member of Metropolis went to China on business. This is a world-famous model agency, which once trained world-famous models like Claudia Schiff. The staff member found Lv Yan while resting in Xinqiao Hotel before boarding the plane. He asked Lv Yan if he wanted to develop in Paris. At that time, Lv Yan was a minor celebrity in China, but she felt that she had not made any achievements. In her own words, those supermodels who have made achievements in China may hesitate and be swayed by considerations of gain and loss. If they don't develop well abroad, they will die. But I have nothing, and I have nothing if I fail, but maybe I will succeed? Besides, this is definitely a good opportunity to develop abroad, especially in a fashion capital like Paris.
On June 17, 2000, Lv Yan arrived in Paris and lived on the island of Saint Louis, the birthplace of Paris culture. On her first day in Paris, her job was to meet the most famous reporter in Paris with a timetable, a subway map and her photo album. Maybe Lv Yan grew up in a poor family, maybe she didn't cause a great sensation at that time, and Lv Yan took the opportunity to reach out to her without fear.
When Lv Yan didn't understand a word of English, she came to a strange place with a quick translator and started a modeling tour in Paris. Also with this quick translation, Lv Yan traveled all over the streets of Paris for interviews, and even made an international call back to China to ask his friends for English pronunciation, and then asked for directions. Everyone has seen the glory of success, but few people know the hardships behind it.
Lv Yan, who just arrived in Paris, is a stranger. With persistence, courage and smile, she finally opened a path for herself in this fashion capital. In just a few months, Lv Yan attracted the attention of VOGUE, the most famous fashion magazine in the world, took many photos for the magazine, and participated in the fashion shows of famous fashion brands CHRIS-TIANDIOR and La-Coix. At that time, Lv Yan became famous and quickly became popular in Parisian fashion circles.
