Lara Stone's Gap Teeth: A Modelling Revolution

Models: Men and women who show off designer clothing by strutting their stuff on catwalks, they sell products though advertisements, do cover shoots for magazines and are thought to set the look of beauty. Kate Moss was one of the biggest influences of the modelling world. She set the standard of extraordinarily skinny models. This concept soon became the look for modelling world. While many models do everything they can to look "perfect" sometimes individuality can get you all the recognition you need. I have recently picked up on a new phase that is currently shocking the modelling word, gap teeth. I've been seeing it everywhere, from the latest Chanel commercial to the face of Rimmel London cosmetics. The model with the most success, mainly from her unique gap teeth, is Lara Stone. This Dutch model ironically has even been on a mag cover alongside Kate Moss. During her career, which shot up in 2006, she has been involved with names like Chanel, Victoria Secret, Calvin Klein, D&G, Marc Jacobs and much, much more. At first thought I didn't like the gap tooth look, but now I realise that that's the essence of its beauty. Its eye catching ways are remarkable. It is a bold, fashionable, stand out statement, which I admire. In fact, I realise a moral in this trend; rather than despise the things that make us unique we ought to embrace them, as they make a statement which only we, individually, can flaunt and show off to the critical world in which we live in. Cheers to Lara Stone and everyone’s individuality in this crazed world of fashion.
