A Dream Ignited
The spark for Sara’s modeling career was lit every time she watched Germany’s Next Top Model. “I can do that too,” she would tell her husband, who often looked at her with a mix of worry and curiosity. Despite her dreams, Sara felt that her body, marked by what she once saw as imperfections, was far from the traditional beauty standards. Her childhood, marked by severe bullying in Zurich, had left her self-esteem battered. The road ahead seemed more like an insurmountable climb rather than a path to success.
But Sara’s journey is a testament to the power of persistence and self-belief. At 36, she stands proud as a mother of two boys, having overcome her fears and societal expectations to embrace her unique beauty.
The Turning Point
October 12, 2021, marked a pivotal moment in Sara’s life. She posted her first picture on Instagram, setting in motion a series of events that would transform her life. Despite her initial uncertainty and lack of experience, her first photo shoot on February 24 was a life-changing experience. The support of her husband, who took time off work to accompany her, was crucial. “It was just a shoot,” she thought. But it was much more than that—it was the beginning of a new chapter.
As Sara immersed herself in the world of modeling, she also honed her skills, attending a modeling academy in October 2022. Her Instagram presence flourished as she shared her journey, inspiring many with her story.
Inspiration and Aspirations
Sara’s love for fashion was deeply rooted in her admiration for runway shows and fashion magazines. Despite her initial doubts about fitting into the modeling world, her distinctive presence turned heads. A pivotal moment came when she saw Winnie Harlow, a model with vitiligo, grace the runway in 2014. This representation of diversity ignited a new desire in Sara—she began to see possibilities beyond her perceived imperfections.
Today, the fashion industry celebrates individuality, embracing the beauty of imperfections. Sara’s journey stands as a powerful testament to this evolution. She uses her platform to inspire others, proving that confidence and elegance are accessible to everyone.
Bridging the Gap
Sara’s mission extends beyond modeling. She aims to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the extraordinary, showing that it’s possible to start a modeling career at 35, even as a mother. After the passing of her last grandfather in May 2022, she adopted the mantra, “Live today as if there were no tomorrow,” motivating her community to pursue their dreams without delay.
In January 2022, Sara began her personal transformation by starting her fitness journey. She shared her progress on Instagram, aiming to inspire other mothers to take time for themselves. Her dedication paid off, sparking positive change in her community as those around her began embracing a healthier lifestyle.
A Unique Presence
Sara’s authenticity and warmth set her apart in the fashion world. She’s more than just a model; she’s a woman with a story that resonates with many. Her ambition and perseverance are evident in her late-night writing sessions and tireless work ethic.
Her spontaneity and instinct-driven approach to life have led her to exciting opportunities. Whether it’s launching Connect4Fashion Community & Events or exploring new business ventures, Sara is always ready to take bold steps.
Motivations and Milestones
For Sara, modeling is therapeutic. Each photo shoot helps her heal past wounds and embrace self-love. She dreams of making a significant impact in the fashion world and wants her children to be proud of her. Sara’s journey is driven by the desire to be seen and to walk for renowned designers like Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, and Armani.
One of her proudest achievements is walking the runways of prestigious fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, London, Zürich, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Düsseldorf. She is also gearing up to grace the catwalks at New York Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, Iceland Fashion Week, and London Fashion Week this September. Remarkably, she has accomplished all this within just two years.
Recently, she closed a major fashion show in Munich in June 2024, and she eagerly anticipates reaching even greater heights in her future endeavors.
This achievement, along with leaving her HR job to focus on modeling, represents a significant turning point in her life. Connect4Fashion, her new platform, aims to merge fashion, beauty, lifestyle, art, entertainment, and networking into unique events, starting with a grand event in Zurich on August 30, 2024.
Future Endeavors
Looking ahead, Sara has several exciting projects. Connect4Fashion is just the beginning. She plans to launch The Model Boutique, her own fashion label, and delve deeper into editorial photography. A secret endeavor also looms on the horizon, promising to top everything she has achieved so far.
Sara Laazzaarr’s journey is a story of resilience, self-discovery, and breaking barriers. Her message is clear: success is about living the life you’ve always dreamed of, embracing your unique beauty, and inspiring others to do the same. The fashion world is richer for having Sara in it, and her story is far from over.
