Fashion Models


What does word the “model” mean?


So, here is the definition - Model (from Middle French “modèle”), sometimes called a mannequin, is a person who is employed to display, advertise and promote commercial products (notably fashion clothing) or to serve as a subject of works of art.

Models are featured in a variety of media formats including books, magazines, movies, newspapers, and TV.

There are a lot of types of models. Here are the categories:
1.Fashion models
2.Bikini models
3.Gravure idols
4.Body-parts models
5.Fitness models
6.Art models
7.Alternative models

Of course I am going to write about fashion models.

Fashion models work in different locations, constantly traveling between those cities where fashion is well known - London, Milan, New York City, and Paris. Second-tier international fashion center cities includes Rome, Florence, Venice, Brescia, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Moscow, Saint Petersburg.
The British Association of Model Agents (AMA) says that female models should be around 34-24-34 in and at least 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) tall. The average model is slender and in shape.
Models must also possess clear skin, healthy hair, and attractive facial features.
The often thin shape of many fashion models has been criticized for warping girls' body image and encouraging eating disorders.
 In the early 21st century, runway walks became less flamboyant compared to the late 20th century, when Naomi Campbell and other supermodels were known for their distinct struts. Instead, most designers preferred a natural stroll.

Modeling agency


A modeling agency is a company that represents fashion models, to work for the fashion industry Agents manage a model's career. They help a model to find jobs, give advice, and email or give copy books and comp cards to various clients they work Agents may send models to various clients and schedule modelling interviews.
 A model could work without an agent but it is highly recommended for fashion/runway models.
