Physical Requirements of A Fashion Model



Modelling is all about your bodyTed Noten: Special Jewellry, but you should have known this I think. There are some basic physical requirements which every model or intending and aspiring models need to have in mind while preparing for the modelling industry. The most vital of any fashion model criteria would have to be your body, your physical appearance.

YOUR HEIGHT. 
A fashion model needs to be at least 5 feet 8 inches tall, because that is the minimum measurement of height for fashion models. This do not imply that if you are shorter than the above measurements you cannot become a fashion model. But as the saying goes for fashion models- The Taller The better.
BODY TYPE (Fashion Industry Standard)

A fashion model need  and is expected to be slim, slim in proportion to their height and weight so they can fit properly into any designer cloth or outfit.
HIP MEASUREMENT
33 to 35 inches is the maximum accepted industry standard measurement for a fashion model.
WAIST MEASUREMENT
10 inches is accepted for female adults.
BREAST MEASUREMENTS
Must be moderate, too large breasts will not be expected and will not fit for designers outfits and is not great for a fashion model, unless you are going into ample bosom.
HAIR AND SKIN TYPE
It will interest you to note that your hair and skin are the most important features of a fashion model, there is actually no specification for colour type or tone for skin and hair type but your hair and skin must be in perfect conditions. Every fashion model is expected to have a flawless skin and hair.
FASHION MODEL AGE RANGE
If you want to become a fashion model, you must know the age range for diverse aspects of modelling. For high fashion models such as Catwalk and runway models- ages ranges from 12 to 22, but I will advice that for female fashion modelling should be in the range of 16 to 21 years of age.

  1. Well, who didn't dream to become a model at some point of their lives right? I actually enrolled in a cosmetology school online because I wanted to be in the beauty industry. Too bad I'm not fit to be a model though as that would have been an awesome career.
