Today we will be looking at an inspirational American born model of Dominican descent Jillian Mercado

Mercado was born and raised in New York City and was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a child. Refusing to let this inhibit her dreams, she went on to study fashion at the New York fashion institute of technology, following in her parents' footsteps as they also worked in the industry.

She completed 2 internships for Allure and Veranda magazine and would go on to volunteer at every fashion week, which eventually led to her first campaign with designer denim brand Diesel. This break caught the eye of the IMG model agency and kick-started her career.
Since then she has worked with Beyonce, Glamour, Cosmopolitan and many more huge names.

Mercado has proved that with hard work and determination you can overcome any obstacle in your way. Sign up with AM:PM Talent today by following the link below and begin your journey:

Rick Genest, also known as Zombie Boy, was a Canadian born fashion model, actor and musician. After he was diagnosed with a brain tumour, he was on the surgery waitlist for six months, during which he contemplated his life and possible death.

As a model, Genest was featured in the new Thierry Mugler Autumn/Winter men's collection. He has also appeared on GQ Style UK, and most famously in Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" music video.

For today's creative ad campaign we look at Mercedes-Benz’ latest global brand film. It celebrates the confidence and vision of Bertha Benz, Carl Benz’ business partner and wife, who was instrumental in Mercedes-Benz’ foundation

Released in honour of International Women’s Day, the film tells the story of the world’s first long-distance drive in a car in Germany in 1888. Early one morning, Bertha took her two sons out for the twelve-hour, 106 km trip. She understood the potential of her husband’s invention and was determined to prove it worked at a time when people were sceptical of this new technology

Shot like a classic Western with modern stylization, the film conveys the fear and confusion of the people who witnessed Bertha’s journey and dramatizes one of her stops along the way. Through her dedication, she paved the way for the invention of the Benz Patent Motor Car

Today's creative ad campaign is a bit different from the funny and over the top ads we usually look at on Sundays. Let's take a closer look at the "Bring It" campaign by H&M.

There seems to be a global awakening of people who are trying to minimise their carbon footprint, and the fashion industry is no exception. Since 2013, H&M has been encouraging customers to bring their old and unused garments to be repurposed for other materials or uses.

On Fridays, we take a closer look at models who have broken the industry by challenging the way fashion views beauty. Our subject for today is no exception.

Robyn Lawley is an Australian born model. She has been dubbed the supermodel of "plus-size" models. Her striking face and beautiful curves have graced the covers of numerous magazines including Vogue Italy, Marie Claire France, Elle France, and Cosmopolitan Australia.

When Lawley modelled for Ralph Lauren in 2012 she became the first plus-size model to star in a high-end designer campaign. She was also the first plus-size model to be featured in the Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit issue in 2015.

Robyn, who is a size 14-16 hates labels and refuses to accept the plus-size one she has been given. She chooses not to focus on size because she wants to promote a healthy body image and help young women to accept their bodies. She has said, “It’s about time we forgo labels and embraced size diversity in the fashion world and mainstream media.”

Robyn Lawley is an inspirational reminder that beauty comes in many shapes and sizes. You don't have to look a certain way to be successful.

Today we will be taking a closer look at creative and funny advertisements that use humour as a way to get their message across, and what better place to look than the notorious Super Bowl advertisements.

Advertisers are faced with a unique challenge during the Super Bowl. Due to the popularity of the broadcast, advertisements are extremely expensive to run. This is why the advertisers will try to make their advertisements as short as possible, while still trying to market to a very broad demographic.

Doritos achieved this brilliantly with their hilarious 2016 Super Bowl ad, "Ultrasound".
