Types of Modeling

Editorial and High Fashion Modeling

High fashion and editorial modeling are the categories most models know best; probably because these are the most glamourous (and sought after) positions in the modeling industry. You'll find these management companies in New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and Milan with top list names like IMG, Elite or Ford, to name a few.

Although the pay is relatively low ($100-$300 per day), you'll gain exposure in this field and get pages from campaigns (tear sheets) to use when contacting other agencies or clients.

Tear sheets are a valuable addition to your model portfolio book as they prove that you are capable and have been working as a model.

Physical Requirements

For high fashion modeling:

Women:

5' 9" to 6' tall with the norm being about 120-123 lbs for a 5' 9" model

Bust: 32-35"

Waist: 22-25

Hips: 33-36

Men:

6' to 6' 1"

Jacket: 40-42R

Waist: 32"

Inseam: 32"

To be a high fashion model you need a very distinctive and exciting look. You'll find most high fashion models living in New York. Be ready to travel and stay away from home if you choose high fashion as your modeling career.

As you may have already gathered, high fashion modeling is not for everyone; especially the home bodies.
