Look Closely, These Unusual Twins Are The Next Top Models

<div><p>We all know the "model" look. Tall, thin, angry. But lately there's been a change from the standard model look to something more unique, and arguably even more beautiful.</p><p>These models from Sao Paulo, Brazil are turning heads and they definitely break the model mold. At only 11-years-old Lara and Mara Bawar have become superstars, and their future is only getting brighter.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/twins---daily-mail_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="Twins" alt="Twins" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Daily Mail</cite></figcaption></figure></div><h3>Albinism</h3><p>The pair were born with Albinism, a condition that causes lack of pigment in the skin. For years the bright white skin and hair, and unusually colored eyes, used to be considering a disfigurement. These twins have taken their unique condition and used it to catapult themselves onto the busy fashion scene.</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><h3>Discovered</h3><p>The twins were discovered last year by a Swiss photographer Vinicius Terranova who shot the pair, along with their older sister Sheila who does not have albinism. He photographed the family as a personal project he called Rare Flowers to show the beauty of differences.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/sisters---daily-mail_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="Sisters" alt="Sisters" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Daily Mail</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>After the project gained popularity the sisters were signed to fashion contracts from Nike among other brands.</p><h3>Feeling Beautiful</h3><p>The twins are staying humble despite their success, and they wouldn't change their condition for the world.</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>"We feel albinism is pretty," Lara told a Brazilian newspaper. "We love our hair, eye color and skin tone."</p><p>Looking at the twins it's hard not to agree.</p></div>
