What fashion agencies looking for in models

Many (prospective) models don't really understand what agencies are looking for in a model.

It's important for you as a prospective model to have a general idea before contacting any agencies.


WHAT AGENTS/MODELS LOOK FOR IN MODELS:

For runway and most print work: women 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches with a dress size between 4 and 8; and men 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 3 inches with jacket size of 40 or 42.

Please Read This Before Giving Up Because of Your Height !!

For promotional and commercial work, companies want people with good faces and high energy." Height is not as important in this modeling field so there is still hope for you!

a) You need to be at least 5'8" tall or taller (Only for Runway or High Fashion, NOT COMMERCIAL)

b) Your body weight and proportions need to flatter your height


c) You need to have a good skin complexion without lots of pimples or blemishes


d) Your hair should be in good shape (no excessive split-ends or over-dying damage)


e) Your teeth should be well taken care of, straight and white (a dynamite smile)



Take a serious look in the mirror and get to work on yourself. You may just be a diamond in the rough!
