Supermodels Discovered - Hardcover

Book Synopsis

Hundreds of models are discovered each year, but few manage to capture public attention. A fraction manage to keep it.

"How were you discovered?" It's a question every supermodel is asked. Fans love to know how, where, and why their style icons were plucked from reality and thrown into the hyper-glamorous world of high fashion. Supermodels Discovered explores the fairytale-like origins of some of the most famous women in the industry, from challenging upbringings and impoverished beginnings to chance encounters with talent scouts at the supermarket. Some became celebrities overnight, while others fought their way to the top.

Get a glimpse inside the cutthroat fashion industry and meet the models who challenged industry norms and beauty standards, facing tremendous rejection before they found success.
