Hi! My name is Jonatan and I am a 19 year old from Sweden. The best thing about me is that I am a very kind and genuine person who wants the best for everyone. On another, less serious hand, I live my life with no regrets, love laughing and not feeling ashamed of anything. What I want people to know is that if life breaks you down, no matter how hard it gets, NEVER give up. You never know what the future beholds.

A new kind of beautiful is a really good and important show! I think the fashion industry still uphold this ideal where you have to look a certain way, or you’ll not fit in. I love that this show does not give in to those standards. Instead, they want people because they are people, and I think that can build a bridge for so many individuals who are afraid of really trying in the model world!

My life has been a hell of a ride. Yes I am only 19, but I have been through things that has changed me forever. These things include bullying and being a victim of domestic violence. I have wanted to give up, I have damaged myself, I have cried. But the most important thing, I have always kept on fighting and never given up. I think my story will help many who have gone through, or goes through what I went through. I will show everyone that not giving up will pay you in the future, and honestly, why not look iconic while doing it?
