And it all happened with the click of a selfie. How a 'not very good' Instagram post led to a major modeling career.
“I love not having a phone,” said the model Barbie Ferreira. “I haven’t had one for three days, and I’m pretty sure my booking agent isn’t too happy about it. I just love to disconnect from everything sometimes.”
That’s a surprising statement coming from a 19-year old who launched her modeling career thanks to Tumblr, when Ferreira received a message on the platform about an American Apparel open casting call. “I just laughed and said, ‘I’m, like, not a model,’” recalled Ferreira with a slight rasp in her voice .
Cut to today: The striking Queens, New York native boasts a modeling contract with Wilhelmina, campaigns with brands like Aerie, not to mention nearly 300,000Did you want to model before the American Apparel gig came about? I thought about it. I always wanted to be an actress; I thought that [the movie industry] would be more accepting of my body type. But it kind of ended up being the opposite, actually. They all said I looked too old because of my hips—and I was only 16. It wasn’t going anywhere and I was working so hard. So, randomly, I took a not very good quality selfie—I was sick—and sent it in to American Apparel. I heard back from them the next day; it was the weirdest experience of my life.
