before we dig in, lets understand what it means to be a model. a model is a person or image representing, promoting or advertise commercial products for companies, or serve as a visual aid for people who are creating works of arts or to pose for photography.

types of models

having known what modeling means, lets look at different types of modeling. there are different types of models you are likely to meet, each has certain requirements for both male and female model aspirants.
some of the most popular kinds i know include:

fashion:
fashion also known as editorial models are the models you see on any magazines, like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, etc. They usually work for top designers, such as Prada, Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, and so on. Such girls must be about 6'0" high and extremely slim. Their measurements are 33-23-33 (bust-waist-hips). However, the modeling agencies usually look at everything in complex, so if you don’t even correspond to all the requirements, do not get upset.

runway:
They are often called catwalk models. Their height might be a bit lower, about 5’9”. They key requirement is the body size, because they must fit the clothes they are going to demonstrate. The measurements are stricter than for the first type – 34-23-34. The designers usually create outfits and then select appropriate models for them, not vise versa. That’s why if you want to know how to become a runway model, you need to meet all the demands. There may be exceptions if you’re one of the elite models, for example, like N. Campbell.
