Become a model despite her imperfections? It is possible today thanks to the Italian modeling agency “Imperfect” which wishes to redefine the criteria of beauty by highlighting “imperfect” models.
The modeling agency Imperfect has made a daring choice: to go beyond the norms to promote women with “extraordinarily imperfect” beauty.
An agency that wishes to redefine the criteria of beauty
Also called the “Real People Agency”, the Imperfect modeling agency lives up to its name. His credo? Say goodbye to classic canons of beauty by offering faces with atypical contours. Created in 2020 by Carlotta Giancane, the agency selects only models that defy pre-established standards of beauty by the fashion industry. An assumed risk-taking by which she wishes to stand out. Because if such agencies already exist in Europe or the United States, this is the first of this type in Italy. “We want to spread the image of a normal, free and different woman.“
Indeed, for the Imperfect agency, it is the personality that takes precedence over the physical. We have always been used to thinking of a standard when we talk about elegance and refinement, this standard must be broken. All women should feel represented and valued.“Through her action, she hopes that the new generations will flourish by loving each other for who they really are.
A spotlight on “imperfect” women
Imperfect is an agency that represents models of all sizes, ages and genders. Some have visible scars, suffer from a disability or medical conditions such as alopecia and vitiligo.
“Every woman should feel represented and valued, regardless of her morphology, beyond stereotypes and unattainable ideals of beauty.”
On the agency’s website, there are testimonials from models who confide in their complexes that have become strengths. While some are still victims of discrimination, they encourage people to celebrate diversity and promote a broader vision of beauty, as model Roberta Arcuri puts it: ” Strong, brave and ambitious. I try to spread positive messages constantly, my philosophy of life is: love yourself and others will surely love you too. “
