Joan Small



Joan small is one of top models in the world. She I from Puerto Rico was born in 11th of July 1988. Joan small have being in a runway of the most famous designer she also being in Paris and Milan catwalk and she also have being in the cover of the many famous magazines.  She had participated in many completion when she was at young age but she didn't win any of the even though she reached semi final they made fun of her look. She was refused by many other agents in the 20th century which was sad to face, luckily she switched to IMG agency. I think with Jane strong will, she became popular as we know her today and it is not something else to have when people you be refused by others. she became known to high fashion designer after her appearing in Givenchy 2010 spring couture show there many designer chose  her such to be in the runway such as Prada, Victoria secret, Jean Paul and many other designers. I think it there are few models that have finished studying at university and later started their career in modeling which is impressive to know. I believe she had worked too much in herself to be number one model in the world, I think it is hard to be the first one among many other models that are beautiful and sexy that might be younger than her. She have being number one in many things such as number model in the world by model.com, is the first Latina woman to land an Estée Lauder campaign and the first woman of color to be featured in a Chanel advertisement.  I think she faced many challenges and difficulties to be the first in many things and to be number one is not easy to reach; it needs a lot of effort and time to give to have this rank.
