Natalia Vodianova's Modeling Success After Giving Birth

For most models, giving birth could mean a forthcoming lame career in modeling. This, however, is not true for the Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova whose success as a model soared high after giving birth to her first son.



Two months after giving birth to her first son Lucas, Natalia Vodianova was back on the runway, becoming one of the most sought-after model:

"My agency thought that I might never do shows, because I was a bit shorter and not skinny enough. But what happened was, when I gave birth to my first son I was 19, so I lost a lot of weight. I guess the stress on the body was extreme and I suddenly just turned into this stick - just the way designers love models - and after Lucas was born that's when my career took off. I opened a lot of shows on the runway and that's where stars are made in my industry."

The gorgeous supermodel shares more of this body hang-ups on the June issue of Vogue UK. Ironically for Natalia Vodianova's "perfect" body, the magazine's special body issues usually feature non-model figures like curvy Beyoncé. The message is that all women, and not just models, are lovely and worth celebrating.
