Libin Lijo Mathew and his journey into modeling has been all about transforming challenges into something extraordinary. He started out as a fitness influencer, turning to bodybuilding to hide the insecurities he had about his facial asymmetry. Growing up, he had stunning features, but something happened—a fall he took or maybe just natural causes—that changed everything, leaving him struggling with self-image.
For years, he thought he had to cover up his differences, but everything changed when he was accepted into a modeling agency that saw his asymmetry as something special, not something to hide. That moment was life-changing. It opened a path of self-discovery where he finally began to embrace what he once thought were imperfections. He turned them into his signature look, making his facial asymmetry a trend and redefining beauty standards on a global scale.
He is making his professional debut on the runway, have been featured by brands like Lee Cooper, and work with some incredible photographers.
All of this began at the very young age of 16, when he decided to take control of his story. His dream is to inspire people never to give up on their own dreams. That’s why he started his own non-profit model management, to give everyone a shot at achieving their aspirations in modeling. His mission is to lift others up, make a difference, and show that no dream is too far out of reach. This journey isn’t just about me; it’s about building a community where everyone can feel heroic in their own way.
