World supermodel Lu Yan: I used to be an ugly duckling video
Generally speaking, when talking about models, many people will immediately think of a cold and delicate face with a tall figure, walking on the catwalk like a noble swan. However, there is an Oriental woman who has been controversial on her way to becoming the world's supermodel. She has small eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, a flat face, and small freckles. She will be overwhelmed if she walks among the Chinese crowd, but she is sought after by Westerners. As a typical "oriental beauty", it is no wonder that many people think this is a conspiracy by Westerners to discredit our aesthetics.
With average appearance, but being able to become a supermodel, many people would think: Could it be that he has a strong backing?
However, the fact is that she was born in the De'an mining area of Jiangxi Province. Her father is a hairdresser, her mother is a housewife, and she has a younger sister and younger brother. Their family was very poor. “There was no running water or flush toilet in the countryside. There was only one tank. When I went to the toilet, my whole body stunk. ”

When she was a child, because she was tall and not pretty, in order to reduce her presence, she developed the habit of walking with her back bent. When she was in secondary school, she suddenly realized that this habit was very bad. Always hunching her back would make her look particularly unconfident, so she went to a model training company to practice walking on the stage. Originally, she wanted to correct her walking posture, but she didn't expect it. One day I can stand in the spotlight as a model.
By chance in a model training class, she met her boyfriend, the famous Chinese image designer Li Dongtian and photographer Feng Hai. They found that although she was not beautiful, she was very handsome. Characteristics, so they took a set of advertising looks for her with freckles and lilies, and then they put the photo on the crowded Wangfujing Street in Beijing. The face in the photo, full of oriental charm, gradually became a popular image at that time. a sign.
This photo was like a watershed in her life. From then on, her life seemed to be on the highway, and she was out of control on the catwalk. She was the world's top model - Lu Yan.
It was this still photo that attracted the attention of a staff member of the French Metropolitan Model Company, who extended an invitation to Lu Yan to work in France. How did Lu Yan do it? Lu Yan knew that her appearance was not popular with the Chinese public, so instead of waiting for opportunities in China, she might as well try her luck in the industry.
19-year-old Lu Yan has no money and is not good at English, let alone French. However, she dares to seize the small opportunities given by fate. "It doesn't matter if you fail, maybe you will succeed." With only a quick translator on me, I started my adventure in Paris.
Fortunately, Lu Yan caught the attention of the fashion magazine "VOGUE" soon after arriving in Paris. She took many photos for the magazine, and Lu Yan made a name for herself in the Paris fashion circle. In the same year, Lu Yan participated in the World Super Model Competition and won the global runner-up.
In addition to luck, her character also accounts for a large part of the reason for Lu Yan's success. Lu Yan's personality is more like a boy, very lively and cheerful.

Her face is full of lines and highly recognizable. The face is different from ordinary people's temperament, just like jade waiting to be carved. This face is a symbol of "oriental beauty" in international shows.

Her brand is called Comme Moi, which is a French name. It means like me in English and translated as "like me" in Chinese. It specializes in making clothes in the style that Lu Yan likes.

Later, when Lu Yan grew up, she came to the city to develop. At first, she couldn't find her own position. For a model with the height but an ugly face, what should she do?
Later, Lu Yan realized such a problem of her own, so she came to the model team and began to learn professional model performance. However, when the model team was going to perform, she met the first noble person in her life, who was a makeup artist. His teacher Li Dongtian, Li Dongtian saw Lu Yan's appearance, and also had a unique vision that Lu Yan's beauty was different from beauty in the traditional sense. The kind of temperament he displayed was not possessed by many women, so Li Dongtian invited Lu Yan to Yan became her own makeup model.

Lu Yan, who was studying in France, realized her own problems, so she trained hard. Later, by participating in a model talent show, everyone got to know Lu Yan, a model with a distinctive appearance. In fact, Lu Yan is known as China's No. 1 model. It is not without reason that he is an ugly model. After all, even an ordinary girl may seem to be more beautiful than him, but even Lu Yan has a unique temperament, which is also revealed by her own appearance and talent, and later won the award. Lu Yan is also well known to everyone and has begun to show her ambitions in the modeling industry. Later, Lu Yan was also invited to be the chief model for various exhibitions at home and abroad, so Lu Yan can be regarded as bringing glory to the country. Such a beautiful face in the traditional sense has actually made a name for herself in the world. It is also very impressive. rare.
Later, Lu Yan met her husband and fell in love with her husband at first sight. Lu Yan didn't want to miss it, so she boldly pursued her. Lu Yan's husband was also moved by his sincerity and talent, and the two got married. Maybe you don’t know, but Lu Yan’s husband is actually a French aristocrat. His family background is much better than Lu Yan’s, but love has nothing to do with age and status. Lu Yan also took the initiative to chase her French husband.

Therefore, Lu Yan's perseverance and the unique charm she exudes are enough to attract her husband.
Later, Lu Yan also founded her own clothing brand. After all, models are just young people.

The current Lu Yan clothing brand has long been able to cooperate with major stars, and Lu Yan is no longer the ugly girl who had low self-esteem and dared not look up.
Is Lu Yan an international supermodel?
Flat nose, round face, small eyes, thick lips, high cheekbones, and short chin are everyone's first impression of Lu Yan. To be honest, Lu Yan's appearance does not conform to Chinese people's aesthetics, so Lu Yan has been controversial since her debut. Some people say that she has international beauty, but some people complain that she is ugly. Fortunately, Lu Yan has a strong heart and an optimistic attitude. With her own efforts, she has stepped into the world step by step, changing from an "ugly duckling" to a "white swan" and walking at the forefront of fashion.
Lu Yan is different from the models we know. She was born in 1981 in a small county in Jiangxi. Lu Yan’s father is a barber, and she has younger brothers and sisters at home. Therefore, Lu Yan’s living environment was the same as that of ordinary people since she was a child, and she was even a little wealthy, because at that time the family’s combined income was only 600 yuan, and Lu Yan I never thought that I would become a model one day. I just hope that my income can exceed 800 yuan in the future.
When Lu Yan was still in school, her height reached 1.780 meters. At that time, not only was she not proud of her height, on the contrary, she often hunched over to hide her height. Gradually, Lu Yan It really became a bit hunchbacked.
When she was 18 years old, Lu Yan, who loves beauty, signed up for a model training class in order to correct her figure. Not long after she signed up, the training class happened to organize models to participate in a model competition in Beijing, but at that time it needed 5 people. , there were only 4 people who signed up. In order to round up the number of people, they thought of Lu Yan. Lu Yan thought to herself that it would not cost any money to participate, and she could also see big cities, so she agreed. However, Lu Yan's unintentional move gave herself an important opportunity, because in Beijing, she met Bole in her life, he was stylist Li Dongtian.
Li Dongtian is very famous in the fashion world. When she saw Lu Yan, her eyes lit up. She felt that Lu Yan was different from other female models. She had a very international appearance and was very elegant. So he said to Lu Yan: "You are very beautiful." However, Lu Yan, who had been called ugly since she was a child, thought Li Dongtian was making fun of herself. But later they discovered that they really thought she was beautiful. Lu Yan later said gratefully: "He was the first Chinese to compliment me on my beauty." However, Lu Yan really made everyone know her because of a ten-cent photo of her. The controversial photo is the one below. I believe that people who don’t know Lu Yan have seen this photo. She has single eyelids, small eyes, and freckles all over her face. When everyone saw this photo of Lu Yan, they all ridiculed: “Her face is full of freckles, this girl is too It’s ugly!” Some people even thought it was a poster for treating freckles.
But what people didn't expect was that Lu Yan, who was not recognized by the Chinese people, was spotted by a French modeling agency and extended an olive branch to her. Lu Yan, who was ridiculed by her countrymen, decided to go to France to develop, so she went to Paris alone. She was in a foreign land and couldn't understand the language, but Lu Yan didn't feel afraid at all. A quick translation guide, a timetable and a subway map became her must-haves. When she first arrived in Paris, Lu Yan had nothing. She even rented a small room of only 9 square meters. She had no money to buy food and ate boiled eggs for a month.
Later, Lu Yan photographed the fashion magazine "VOGUE", which made her start to emerge in France. In 2000, Lu Yan, who was only 19 years old, participated in the World Super Model Competition. In the super model competition with so many beauties, Lu Yan won the runner-up with her special temperament. You must know that this is the highest international honor for a domestic model. . Since then, Lu Yan has become famous in the modeling industry, and no one will laugh at her for being ugly. On the contrary, in the eyes of Westerners, she became "the most beautiful woman in China".
Lu Yan's success seems so obvious to outsiders, but who knows, how can anyone succeed casually? It was very difficult for Lu Yan on the road of modeling. At first, everyone laughed at her for being ugly. If it were anyone else, she would not be able to bear it, but Lu Yan disagreed and was very confident. Secondly, she never misses any opportunity to become famous and knows how to choose. And the most important point is that Lu Yan is very able to endure hardships.
When Lu Yan recalled the history of her fame, she once said: "I am not the only Chinese model to go to Paris, and I am not the first one. Why do so many models who are more beautiful and famous than me come back soon? Because they can't bear the hardship. ”
There was once a catwalk. Many models refused to participate because it was too cold, but Lu Yan bravely rushed forward. No matter how cold the weather was, she confidently showed her smile to everyone. In the modeling industry, everyone enjoys the glory in front of others, but Lu Yan has never been afraid of hardship. She is confident, courageous, and unrestrained. She finally jumped from the "ugly duckling" that everyone laughed at to the "international" that everyone praised with her own efforts. Supermodel".

Lu Yan said that she fell in love with her husband at first sight, and she took the initiative to pursue her husband due to her chic personality. After the two got married, Lu Yan gave birth to a cute and handsome mixed-race son. As usual, Lu Yan's love and career failed.
