相信大家對跨性別模特兒 Teddy Quinlivan 不算太熟悉,因為單憑標緻的外貌並非人認出她是跨性別模特兒 。但當初的 Redken 染髮劑廣告、Milk Makeup 的睫毛膏廣告都不乏看見她的身影。今年25歲的 Teddy 成為第一個變性模特兒為 Chanel 美妝拍攝廣告,這舉動不僅是對跨性別模特兒的認可,更是以行動證明品牌的多樣性的形象,難怪 Teddy Quinlivan 在 Instagram 上提及自己是為勝利的時刻流淚。

我的一生都是場戰鬥... 而這場勝仗讓我覺得過去的所有事情都是值得的!

曾經為 Chanel 走過兩次天橋的 Teddy Quinlivan,當時的她還未公開自己變性的身份。當時 Teddy 便意識倘若自己對外承認真實身份的時候,將會失去與某些品牌合作的機會例如 Chanel,甚至以為自己以後都不會與如此標誌性的時裝品牌工作。因此這次的合作及認可簡直讓 Teddy 喜出望外,更讓她對自己的夢想更為堅定不移,因為“‘If you give up then you will never experience the tears of triumph.”

其實 Chanel 對 Teddy Quinlivan 的欣賞不僅僅止於她本身是性少數族群、跨性別的提倡者,更因為她對時裝模特兒的貢獻及正面影響的肯定。作為時裝模特兒, Teddy 在天橋上的自信完美的表現,得到不少品牌的青睞及欣賞,如 Chanel、 Miu Miu、Marc Jacobs、Dior、Alexander Wang 等等。不過說到這裏,最大的伯樂莫過於是 Louis Vuitton 創意總監 Nicolas Ghesquiere 發掘她成為模特兒,更為 Louis Vuitton 2016年春夏系列擔任時裝展模特兒。
