Instagram Models (NOT models & their Instagrams)

[thingirl]

Zola Zappa is signed with IMG but hasn’t done much modelling work, I found her through her Tik Tok account. I find her very facially pretty and she has fabulous legs! I just picked the videos which best showed off her body, not necessarily her most popular/aesthetically pleasing ones.

I’ve been following Zola for quite some time, and I’ve always admired her marvelous figure. Especially the legs.
Her style consists of mostly vintage pieces gifted by her mother – who is a stylist if I’m not wrong – and I really appreciate the fact that she doesn’t follow dumb trends (like whatever Alexa Demie wears nowadays).

Sharing some more videos of her from her second Tiktok account:

I've been already following her for a while on IG since she's facially absolutely stunning and if I remember she has been mentioned on SG before. However, could there be an explanation why she's not booking any work despite being signed and at a promising age (15/16)? @FashionThin

I have no idea. IMG is a double-edged sword because they are so big. They have a big marketing machine and a lot of reach, and they give their superstars tons of attention. But by the time you're a superstar you don't need the attention and hand-holding. The ones you really need to nurture are your new faces, because the superstars can go wherever they want and take your money with them. The new faces are your "tomorrow money" and if you work closely with them and build a good relationship they are a lot less likely to leave. But when you're gigantic like IMG you can't give all the new faces the attention they need, especially if you sign a lot of new faces. And a lot of new faces who have a choice of agencies think "omg IMG" and go with them over the boutiques because they don't realize they'll be almost ignored. So the problem feeds into itself.

Just basing it on the short clips I saw, I mean if she really can't walk in heels, that's a big issue. But it's not hard to learn with practice and some coaching. I've had quite a few new faces who honestly could not do it at all at first, but most of them learned pretty fast. You do need someone watching you and coaching though, because some girls compensate for heels in really odd ways and look terrible. Maybe because of Covid they haven't done that, or offered? Or since it's IMG maybe they don't care?

Has she done any tests? I haven't seen anything but I haven't looked.

Also she's sort of a nepomodel so for all I know it might be a vanity contract and she doesn't want to actually work.

I found these which imo aren’t great. I feel like she’s one of those girls who looks absolutely stunning in motion, but whose beauty doesn’t necessarily translate into photos (unless taken from a specific angle). It’s a pity because her body is great and she has such a pretty face.

She’s still young though, I’m sure that with the right coaching she could improve on the walk and the posing.

Thank you for the explanation @FashionThin! Always an honour to hear more about the industry from an insider

Seconding what @lattelover has said above. She has clearly a beautiful face and body, but as we all know it takes much more than that to become a successful model. Actually, the more I look at those pictures, she comes off as quite dull, without any captivating energy at all.

I've never heard of her before and don't think she's been posted here, but Daria Skrygina (@bambydary) has a body that made me pause scrolling today:

It's obvious she's had some plastic surgery done when compared to younger photos of her online, but her body is still nothing to scoff at.

@alexconsani
Recently signed with IMG (New York / Milan) and walked for Alexander McQueen and Versace F/W 22 but she was originally (and still is in my opinion, hence in this forum) a tiktok/instagram model. She has recently bleached her hair and eyebrows and it has really elevated her look; however, I think she is really gorgeous and has a great body for an instagram model - not so much a high fashion model.

(Not a fan of this photo at all, but shows her body - she looks far better with minimal makeup)

Hungarian-American model turned musician(?) Maya Pacziga has a lovely body and this fairy-like vibe to her face, thought she’s worth mentioning here. She’s still quite young, from what I heard she’s either 18 or 19, interested to see what the future holds for her, especially in the Hungarian fashion-music world, as the two are quite closely linked together here.

Isa Locsin (@isalocsin), signed with Stars Management. From seeing her TikTok videos, she's lost a lot of weight over the last few years. Her style is very interesting, and she's got a very cherubic, yet versatile face. Very interesting overall, I truly hope she makes it in the industry.

From a few years back:

I haven't seen her mentioned on here - but Renée Bellerive (@reneeebeller), is an instagram model following the aspiring model pipeline. She's signed to Wonderwall Management (Milan) and was even part of their FW22 show package, but I don't believe she got any shows. I think she is very pretty, and has a lovely body for an instagram model - although, she does play into the hourglass trend - but not quite model material. She's not the skinniest but naturally has a very small frame which compensates for this - hopefully worth the post. I wonder if she will lose in pursuit of her modelling career. I give her some credit as she has a very large (nearly 400k) and very mainstream audience, therefore, I surmise would be scrutinised if she lost and met SG standards.

HEIGHT: 178cm / 5'8"
BUST: 76cm / 30"
WAIST: 55cm / 21.5"
HIPS: 87cm / 34"

Aspiring Saint Laurent girl it seems:

Her tiktok (@reneebellerive) is full of videos similar to the one below:

Hard to believe she has a 21.5" waist, but who knows.

A lot of TikTokers edit their bodies, even in videos. I wouldn't be surprised if she did too, since the screen grab you posted even has blurry/strange lines around the waist. For this reason I wouldn't be surprised if her measurements were exaggerated. We would have to see a candid/tagged picture to know for sure though.

This girl irks me. I used to follow her Tik Tok and all her videos were centered around her waist. It's like she can't just relax. She looks great but it seems like she's staring at her torso the entire time she films. I wanted to see her small waist "in action", but all her videos are so controlled. It comes off as bodychecking, or whatever it is it's odd and distracting. "We get it, your waist is small- now what". Her face isn't strong, and her modeling photos are dull. I wonder if she has any range. She also rarely posts any photoshoots, i'm wondering if she does any. She is listed as an influencer under one of her agencies, not a model. I'm guessing she would have trouble doing shoots where she can't control how her body is seen.
I don't know how edited or controlled her selfies/tiktoks are but have included some old photos (2019) of her at the bottom to consider.

Rylee (can't seem to find her last name anywhere, her handle is @immrylee) - signed to AMR Agency. She doesn't have a lot of work that I can find (hence my posting in this thread), but her body is pretty great. I love her arms - they're so long! Her face and her overall vibe also remind me of Grimes.

slight warning: I think she has an OnlyFans so I'd be careful googling her handle in public

Teresa Forgia, signed with Wonderwall Management Milan. She's _tere4 on Instagram.
Stats:

Some of her work

I like both her body and face but boy do I loathe her modeling expression. I think she looks much better in natural pictures. Case in point:

She's also quite fit and into yoga and nutrition.

 

[levidedelavie]

3x1stential on Instagram, only a little over 11k followers and she also has a tiktok account. Definitely not signed to anyone and her aesthetic is often questionable, but I think she has an amazing body and sometimes I actually do like her "tormented artist" vibe. She makes jewelry and I think she's from SF or the Bay area.
Potential trigger warning because she has self harm scars, which she has mentioned not wanting to hide anymore because she doesn't want to feel ashamed of her past struggles.

Sophie Sumner was runner-up BNTM and won ANTM cycle 18 British Invasion (but I do not recommend looking up those photos…) and has since been an editor and host (for Amazon currently). I found her from other socialite-types in NYC on Instagram but her photos blow me away! She’s maintaining so well despite going out seemingly every night to dinners and parties.

Her diet and routine are a mystery but I love seeing her styling choices!

Arms!!!

I don't like her outfit, but you can pull off anything when you're that thin.

This girl popped up on my Explore page, and while she doesn't emote much and I'm not a fan of her style, her body is very nice

 

[saturation]

@levidedelavie oh my god, just realized you beat me to it and had already posted 3x1stential just a few posts before me! My excuse is that I'm not usually an avid follower of this thread (and honestly just didn't diligently look at what was already posted). Sorry, my bad!

 

[thin_is_in]

Some much-needed waif-spo. Not commenting on her face. (I’m getting a bit desperate at this point tbh.)

She has been posted here before. She has an eating disorder & a very active ED twitter account... Not inspiring at all.
