Some years they want really thin models and other years, models with curves. It’s all about the look of the season and what the designers are looking for as well. The high fashion look is usually girls with the high cheekbones, long necks and square jaws. This may change but usually girls with more of an oval shaped face will not do well in the high fashion industry. They are more fit in categories of glamour. This part of the industry is the most competitive because its one of the highest paid. There is a lot of drugs and partying, and some models make the fall into that and drop out of modeling. So you have to be careful and stay straight. Glamour modeling really doesn’t have any requirements. They have more guidelines of what different magazines want. Some like a glamour model to have a more oval face because then the model turns out to be sexier, but that’s only personal preference of the client or photographer. Mostly it’s whatever sells. Most glamour models are at least semi fit as they show a lot of their body. Glamour models are models that pose in magazines like Maxim and Stuff magazine. You will see them do a lot of implied shoots as well as a lot of lingerie. A lot of glamour models also participate in promotional tradeshows as well as car events. Requirements: Height: 5.2" – 5.4" Dress Size: 2-4 Petite models usually work for small boutiques or stores with petite divisions. Petite models can also do makeup ads as size does not matter in those. Requirements: Height: 5.2" – 6.1" Dress Size: 12 to 14 These requirements will vary depending on the client. Plus size models usually work for stores with plus size divisions. Designers are starting to do plus size runway shows because it appeals to a large part of the population, since a lot of women are a size 12 or above. A plus size model usually has broad shoulders, big boned with beautifully classic features. Requirements: Ages 13 – 17 In this division of modeling you will most likely be doing commercial print work and catalogue; there are others but those make up most of the demographic of work received in this division of modeling. Requirements: Ages 30+ You will see a lot of mature models in print and commercial advertisements. Companies like Viagra and Bayer will tend to use mature models because that’s the age group that uses their product the most. Body part modeling is a specialty division. You model your foot, hand, leg, neck, etc. You have to have a perfect body part; that means no showing veins, perfect nails if hand or foot, no scars, no wrinkles, it needs to be clean, without blemishes. With hand models usually they look for hands with long slender fingers. Models in this division will also follow the same path as a regular model in the terms of finding an agency, building a portfolio and comp card. Requirements: Height: 5.10" – 6.2" Age: Late teens into late twenties. Suit Size: 40 (This is standard size for male models, this size may vary depending on client) Male models can do anything from commercial modeling to high fashion. Male models have a very competitive industry as most male models have to be perfectly fit to get hired on most jobs and because there are so many guys out there competing for the same roles, you have to be able to stand out in front of all them to get the role. This is also known as commercial modeling. This part of the industry there are no requirements, just that you fit what the client is looking for. This part of the industry can include commercials, print, just about everything. Requirements: Height: 5.7"-5.8" Catalogue modeling is also very competitive because it gives models a lot of exposure; Mostly brands like Victoria’s Secret. Because it’s so competitive, it’s hard to use as a fulltime income. This work is also luck where you live, it’s very regional. If you live in city where the home office of that brand is, they will most likely use you depending on the demand of wanting to advertise for them. There is a lot of catalogue work out there. You might be working a lot for brands like Macys, Robinsons May, etc. Requirements: The clothes need to look good on you Showroom modeling can be a runway show in a local boutique introducing a new collection, also could be standing and showing their clothing at a fashion party. This kind of modeling you need to have contacts with local boutiques and local fashion designers. Requirements: Height: No particular height requirement (depends on client or print publication) This industry you are competing with a lot of fitness stars who are very particular about their body. You really have to be in GREAT shape to be in this division. Girls that’s right, you got to have a totally flat stomach or forget about this division. You can’t be really skinny either; you have to have muscle on you. Normally this is for very athletic boys and girls. There are no specific requirements for this field. In promotional modeling you will go to conventions and trade shows. You will be standing at their booth greeting customers, handing out product samples and talking to them about the products. Some promotional models travel with the company at their expense from show to show. This can be a great opportunity for a beginner model as you will meet some of the directors and marketing personnel within that company, and that can lead to print work later down the road. Women Height: 5.8.5""- 6.0" Women Dress: 4-6 Men Height: 5.11" - 6.1" Men Size: 32-36 Editorial Models are the best of the best. They are the supermodels you know and love. They know exactly how to pose in front of a camera, and do just the right expressions for every shot. Editorial models also have the chance to be a little more creative with their work. This is something to strive for.
