The world of high fashion modeling is arguably one of the most glamorous fields to work in. Models showoff the latest creations of womens clothing in runway shows held in fashion capitals around the world. They also model for high-end catalogs and cosmetics companies.
It is a difficult field to break in to as high fashion modeling has strict physical requirements and of those that meet them, relatively few will become internationally known. Luckily, there are ways to model clothes outside of the top fashion markets. Investigate several ways that you are able to pursue modeling as a hobby or career.
Contact an agency. Agencies find models work and take care of the business end of their careers allowing them more time to pursue assignments. To gain representation by an agency, go the the official websites of several agencies in major markets and look at their requirements. If you meet the stated requirements, follow their instructions for submitting photographs and other information and wait to hear back from them.
Place your photos online. There are several online portfolio sites that cater to aspiring models. Check reviews of various sites to ensure it is a site that will serve your needs. Make an account and post pertinent information about yourself along with photos.
Volunteer to model for charity fashion shows. Look into the possibility of modeling for local fashion shows. Fashion shows are often held by ladies groups, churches and community service organizations to raise funds for charity. This is a great option to pursue if you want to model as an hobby as opposed to a career. Generally, women of a variety of shapes and sizes are allowed to participate in these shows.
Model for local designers. Many smaller communities organize fashion weeks to showcase designers in their localities. Individual designers may hold auditions for models or the organizer of the fashion week may cast a pool of models to walk for various shows. The physical standards for models may be the same or slightly lower than that of major markets. Casting notices for these shows can often be found on entertainment casting sites as well as general online classified websites.
Model for a local store. A store may organize a fashion show or simply want someone to walk around the store modeling clothes that the stores sells. Stores also hire models to pass out fliers or to act as live models in the display window. Getting an opportunity such as this may come from knowing the owner of the shop. Someone who works at a local store may be afforded such an opportunity as well.
