Janice Dickinson calls herself the world's first supermodel. This is not entirely true, which does not detract from her merits and does not make her life in fashion less interesting. In her youth, she was a beauty with a dazzling appearance and a heavy character. Youth is gone, beauty has been transformed, but the character remains. She is still bold, straightforward, quarrelsome and sometimes unbearable. But that doesn't make her any less fans. Here are 10 interesting facts about Janice Dickinson related to fashion and beauty.
1. too exotic beauty
Dickinson is an American who was born in Brooklyn, but her mother's Polish heritage and father's Irish-Scottish roots gave the effect of stunning appearance. She says that she was constantly mistaken for a representative of different ethnic groups, and for the same reason, the fashion industry was not immediately accepted into the fashion industry.
In the 70s, when fair-skinned, blue-eyed blondes shone on the catwalk and in magazines, she was labeled “too ethnic in appearance”, effectively closing the path to big fashion.
2. New York - Paris - New York
Rejected for her appearance in her native States, the young beauty successfully found herself in the European modeling business. In Paris, her exotic appearance was very useful, so she immediately began working and earning there.
Back in New York in 1978, Dickinson was already a supermodel with a gigantic portfolio. Earning $2,000 a day, four times the standard rate of a top model, she equated herself in fees with Hollywood actors. She wanted to take revenge on those who did not believe in her, and she did it brilliantly.
3. Vogue girl
Janice is very proud to have appeared on the covers of all famous fashion magazines, but it was the appearance on the cover of Vogue that has always been considered the most prestigious. Dickinson has graced the covers of Vogue in various international publications 37 times! A rare model can boast of such an achievement, given the huge competition and protectionism in this area.
4. No body positivity
Current trends and fashion for body-positive do not touch, but only annoy Janice, who all her life stands on the fact that a model should be thin or should not be a model. She does not hesitate to ridicule other people's forms, calling them a deviation from the model norm. She herself follows her convictions and, on the threshold of her 70th birthday, does not add, it seems, not a kilogram. And if he adds, then he immediately goes on a diet or turns to surgeons.
5. "You're fired!"
For her aggressive demeanor and criticism of young models, Janice was fired from the most popular show "America's Next Top Model". Dickinson's main conflict was with Tyra Banks, the show's host and producer. Janice was blunt and honest in her opposition to the promotion of pre-approved girls. Tyra wanted everything to be "sweet and smooth", all the while saying that she was the show's producer and she would decide how things would turn out.
“I only tell the truth and I save these girls by telling them they are too short, too fat or their skin is no good… It is better to be an honest bitch than to be hypocritical. I made this show number one in 52 countries and they showed me the door!”
After being fired, Dickinson launched her own show, The Janice Witch Modeling Agency, but it only lasted four seasons before closing.
6. "They're not models, they're Instagram girls"
Dickinson fearlessly criticizes not only unknown aspiring models, but also industry stars. So she "walked" through the Jenner-Kardashian family, noting that they have no model data. She did not forget about the Hadid sisters, saying that they should not be called supermodels, because they are not able to reincarnate.
She says with regret that the modeling business has died because the niche has been occupied by girls from Instagram, whose main merit is a large subscriber base, and not professional data and work.
7. “I live for plastic surgery!”
In pursuit of youth and beauty, Dickinson has always had plastic surgery and even filmed a video showing her beauty procedures. And Janice's love for plastic is even too great ...
In 2013, the former model was forced to file for bankruptcy due to over a million dollars in debt from unpaid plastic surgery bills. This situation greatly crippled both the financial and emotional state of Dickinson, who vowed to pay every penny.
8. Difficult past becomes secure future
Realizing that the age of the model is not eternal, Janice eventually began to think about securing her future. Over time, she stood on the other side of the camera, declaring herself as a photographer, and in 2010 she launched her own jewelry line. She also monetized her troubled childhood and turbulent modeling past, which resulted in several candid autobiographical books that became bestsellers.
9. black gardenia
Janice's favorite fragrance is Illuminum Black Gardenia. This is a green floral fragrance for him and her, which is also very loved by Hollywood star Halle Berry.
10. Mini and skinny without complexes
Someone after 50 will choose more modest respectable outfits, but not Janice. Is it in vain that she keeps a diet and does plastic surgery all her life? Dickinson continues to go out in mini dresses that show off her legs, as well as outfits with leggings or skinny pants that accentuate them. And, of course, indispensable hairpins that lengthen the legs.
Born a model - be it to the end!
