Think walking the runway is easy? Try
it sometime! These models might grab our funny bone when
they fall down on the runway but there are reasons for these
disasters.
And, a quick lesson to learn if you
are planning a career as a female model. Have fun - and go
to the real modeling school!
Learning How to Model
Walk
As you see in the video, these female
models are already professionals and very talented. But,
mistakes do happen and when it's in front of a huge and
expectant crowd of high fashion buyers, the event is much
more embarrassing. So, if you are a new talent - or even
beginning to consider this entertainment profession, watch
the video but don't dwell on it. Just be aware that things
happen
Video Showing How Runway Models Do Fall Down -
Sometimes
I love the way these girls pick
themselves up and go on as if nothing happened. And, after
licking their wounds, they are ready and excited about the
next fashion show. This is what a professional female model
does. The reaction is as important as the fall
itself!
Why Top Models Fall
Down
As I said above, walking for a living
is not always as easy as it looks. These young women are
strutting their stuff on the very slippery runway surface
wearing extra high heels which are thin and flimsy - making
the catwalk sometimes a dangerous obstacle course. And, all
the while the model has to maintain a certain look, keep her
poise and present the clothing she is wearing in the best
possible light. Sometimes these dresses and outfits are
worth thousands of dollars so the stakes are high for the
designers - and the models.
How to Practice the Runway
Walk
Now, as these girls are pros and still
have some trouble walking the runway from time to time - you
need to practice even more if you want to be in the lights
one day. I'm not going to cover everything here but there is
another page with a lesson on how
to walk the runway for female models.
But, don't just watch the lesson, set up a schedule to
rehearse often and stick to it. Nothing takes the place of
being prepared when you find yourself walking for a job
opportunity at an open call. So, enjoy the video showing how
(other) models fall down.
