Until recently, John Economou was just another young homeless man, but then an ax unexpectedly fell into his pocket. The famous models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid spotted him while filming on Venice Beach (Los Angeles), where the boy was sleeping. They found him attractive, so they advised him to visit a fashion agency; his life literally changed 180 degrees overnight.
John Economou he was clearly born under a lucky star, although until recently it seemed that he was doomed to life. But he was in the right place at the right time. Sleeping on the beach in Los Angeles (Venice Beach) namely, he was spotted by models on a picnic during the filming of the campaign Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who liked the boy so much that after a short conversation they referred him to fashion agency Two Management.
20-year-old John did not recognize the girl at first (there was also an actor in their company Ansel Elgort from the movies Split and The Fault in Our Stars), but he later revealed to them that he had been a model for a while in his hometown of Milwaukee, but was living on the beach in Los Angeles because he was unemployed. He took their advice and fashion agents they quickly asked him to sign a contract. A boy who, until recently, carried all his possessions with him in a backpack and was ashamed to talk to girls, today already graces fashion covers.

Apparently, there is for Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid a career in the fashion industry even after walking the catwalks, as they have more than a nose for discovering new faces/talents. Girls, do you agree?
