How to become a model!!


How to become a model!


Pier Nguyen

It's finally here guys! How to become model, knowing when and what's a scam, how to act professional and know your stuff.


LOL not literally that tall, but tall enough

Here's the break down guys. Keep reading on if you have these qualifications; Men must be at least 5"11 - 6"5 and Women must be 5"9 - 6"0. So far so good?

Well of course you have to have a good looking body to go with your height.









Know your shit in the fashion industry! Know what fashion week is, the top models in the World, top photographers, and especially know all your fashion and clothing designers. Networking and being polite is one of the things ever model needs to know!




Have a portfolio! You are looking at pictures that are a good 8 by 11 pictures and they go in a portfolio. This is important because you need to impress your employers, modeling agencies an... to get booked for the fashion job! Pictures must be fierce, and when I say fierce I mean no SENIOR LOOKING PICTURES!




Runway Walk

Have a fierce walk. Here's something for the guys. Guys need to take longer strides then regular walking. Back must be straight, chest must be little bit out not awkward, pretend you are talking with stacks of books on your head. Hands must be swaving not hard but turn in a way that the photographers can take your picture and that it won't look like your hands won't be chopped off.


LADIES: Cross walk, more struding, must walk on the bold of your heels, and signiture poses are podent in this industry.


Get signed with an agency! Without getting signed, you definitely can't find or getbooked for jobs causes your clients need reference and they just don't pay you straight up. Think of it like this. When you get signed, your modeling agency acts a direct deposit bank and what ever jobs you get booked your modeling agency will pay you. Though the agencies to tend to take a percentage from what you make.


GO-SEES!!! Gotta wear clothes that are not too stuffy, not too awkward and not too flashy. Ladies should just wear tight jeans, tank-top and heels, and Guys should just wear jeans and white t-shirt. Remember that is the reason to show your body figure and it's simple clothing wear.



Beware of scams! If you do not get enough information from agents, agencies, ect. through the internet, advertisement, flyers, people, ect. then DON'T DO IT!!! You shouldn't expect to pay a lot to get somewhere nor pay so and so to do something.


ALL MODELS must be professional in what they do. Know this shit!!: Editorials, Commericials, Prints and High Fashion! Always be nice! Know some Model Etiquete!


The Fashion World tends to be very cut throat so bear the pain of criticism, staying long hours for things, travel a lot, working out to maintain a good looking body, and last but not least KNOW everyone and everythings name and lots of networking.


Models are free, role models, lots of self-esteem, persistent, fun, easy to work with, andFIERCE!!!


Good luck all models in pursuit!
