Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, two prominent supermodels, recently assisted a skateboarder known as Nino Lopes to transition from living on the streets to becoming a successful male model. The story highlights the power of social media and the influence these models have in shaping lives.
Nino Lopes, an 18-year-old skateboarder, caught the attention of both Hadid and Jenner after videos of his skateboarding skills surfaced on social media platforms. The models were struck by Nino's natural talent and raw charm, which they felt had the potential to be harnessed in the fashion industry. Recognizing that Nino was homeless, the models decided to extend their support and use their influence to help him.
Hadid and Jenner reached out to Nino through direct messages on Instagram, expressing their admiration for his skills and offering their assistance. The skateboarder was initially skeptical, assuming their gestures were insincere. However, following several conversations, Nino realized that the models truly believed in his potential and were genuinely interested in helping him.
Subsequently, the two models introduced Nino to their network of industry professionals, including photographers, stylists, and agents, who recognized his talent and were eager to work with him.
The extent of Hadid and Jenner's assistance went beyond just introductions. They also helped Nino with various aspects of his modeling career, such as arranging photo shoots and guiding him through the complexities of the industry. With their support, Nino was able to secure modeling contracts and start his journey as a professional male model.
