How to exercise and become a fashion model?
Generally speaking, there are three main standards for models. Those who meet these three main standards will have the basic conditions for becoming a fashion model.
1.Height
The current uniform height of international fashion models participating in the performance is 1.78m (Italy sometimes requires 1.8m). If the number of people in the scheduled performance cannot be reached, the height can float up and down by 2-3cm. Therefore, girls between 1.75-1.8lm are all within the standard.
2. Measurement dimensions
The measurement size refers to the bust, waist, and hip circumference. The ideal size is 90cm, waist circumference 60cm, and hip circumference 90cm, but even in Europe, this standard is not possible. In view of the characteristics of my country's ethnicity, the standard for measurement size is generally 84cm, waist circumference 6lcm, and hip circumference 90cm. Some models are fat, but the hip circumference does not exceed the standard 2cm and can still be hired.
3.Precise appearance
The appearance standards of fashion models are not simply about whether they are beautiful or not, but mainly about whether they have three-dimensional or personal characteristics. When choosing models, experts do not simply look at their appearance, but also think about the effects of their makeup. At the same time, they observe whether their personality is competent for model work based on their speech, behavior and appearance characteristics. Girls with advantages in appearance should have more opportunities.
2. Basic elements of fashion model conditions. In addition to bone removal requirements, models have five standards. Those who meet these five standards will meet the basic conditions for becoming a full-time model.
1.Scale
There are two proportions: the first is the ratio of the head to the whole body. The normal ratio of the body and head of a person is - the head is one eighth of the whole body, and the ratio of the model should be a little smaller than the normal ratio. For those who are greater than one eighth, other conditions must be balanced. The second is - the ratio of the length of the upper body and the lower body. The boundary line between the upper body and the lower body is bounded by the sacrum, and the upper body is from the top of the head to the sacrum, and the lower body is from the sacrum to the soles of the feet. According to the characteristics of my country's ethnicity, the length of the upper body is equal to the upper body. It is better for those who are longer than the upper body, and the longer the legs, the better the conditions. There is also a second method of measurement. The upper body is measured from the Dazhui acupoint to the buttock line, and the lower body is measured from the buttock line to the ankle bone. This method of measurement is more beneficial to clothing designers. You can directly think of the number of clothing, but it is difficult to make other customers imagine the body conditions from the size. Therefore, both methods of measurement are needed, and only the difference is given in the name of the proportion.
2.Leg shape
Leg shape is very important for fashion models. In interviews, people often fail to choose due to poor leg shape. Models’ legs should be uniform in thickness, straight midline, and strong calves. The thighs are too thick, the calf is large, or the outer and inner arcs of the midline of the legs are not ideal.
3. Face shape
The model's face is better with melon-shaped face, goose egg-shaped face, and rectangular face. Other face shapes should be selected according to other conditions and make up for makeup and hairstyle.
4.Skin
The rough skin of the model is directly related to the opportunity to use. If the skin is good, there will be more opportunities and a larger range of adaptation. Acne or rough skin that affects the beauty will affect the opportunity. Even those with better skin should pay special attention to protection. Because the model wears more professional makeup and lives irregularly, if you want to maintain the beauty of the skin, you should pay special attention to controlling the intake of tobacco, alcohol, sugar and irritating foods.
5. Hand type
Use hands to make hand decorations, computers and other advertisements are also common. The requirement for a good hand shape is that the fingers are slender and slender, the joints cannot be thick, the nails are finely trimmed, and the skin is delicate and elastic.
3. Specific business requirements for models. The above are the standards for fashion models, graphic and visual models, but in actual operations, they are also divided into specific character models, product image models, fitting models and etiquette models.
1.Specific characters and models
Specific model refers to the image of a model that is suitable for a specific occupation or position. For example, designating a boss image for a computer or electronic notebook, designating a identity-friendly image for a hotel manager or waiter or guard, etc., are all specific models. This type of model is not limited by age and height, and its appearance choice is relatively broad when registering. The requirements are very specific and detailed when using a specific model.
2. Product image model
Product image models are the darlings of the modeling industry, advertising industry and even corporate world. They can hardly find any image problems. When people see their appearance in advertisements, they can almost recall the brand of a certain product at the same time. The performance of product image models in front of the camera cannot be too warm or too hot. The coordination and unity of spirit, emotion and shape, and the innocence and clarity of image connotation are the highest skills pursued by professional models. In my country, due to skills and level issues, product image models have not been widely used in the advertising industry, but have been widely used in automobile exhibitions, computer exhibitions, beer festivals, jewelry auctions and other occasions.
3. Fitting model
This type of model requires that the figure must meet the standards. The model's bust, waist, hip, neck, upper and lower body proportions, breast position, etc. are very strict, but there is no requirement for appearance. Their skills are high-level clothing appreciation ability and accurate expression of the problems of the clothing being tested. Excellent fitting models can also raise popular possibilities based on their experience. They are good consultants for fashion designers.
4. Etiquette Model
There are etiquette schools in society, and there are etiquette classes in vocational high schools. These students have in-depth learning of etiquette knowledge in various countries, ethnic customs and various social places around the world, but they are far from the work of etiquette models. Etiquette models are mostly used for opening ribbons, competition awards, large-scale conference receptions, company profiles, welcome guests at major events, etc. Etiquette models are the "face" of the invitation unit. The task is to establish a good corporate image for the invitation unit with their well-trained image and elegant and thoughtful words and demeanors, so as to strengthen the scene and set off the atmosphere. The selection criteria for etiquette models are good appearance, slim figure, and height of 1.70-1 .75m. In addition, there are two parts of the model that need to be selected during the interview: one is the neck, which requires smooth, delicate, plump and beautiful lines, which are mainly used for shooting necklaces. The other is the feet, which require good feet, good skin, sound nails, and no exposure to blue veins. It is mainly used for shooting advertisements such as sandals, slippers, fitness equipment. It is not easy to choose a comprehensive model that meets various conditions, but for fashion models, the first three are the most important standards that can be met and accepted. The last few standards can be selected for local excellent people. In short, models are the creators and communicators of beauty. There is only one most practical standard: being able to meet the needs of product advertising image.
As an excellent model, you must not only have good physiological conditions and cultural foundation, but also have a certain understanding of clothing design, production, fabrics, accessories, music, stage lighting, etc. The model's workplace is on the catwalk. If you want to succeed on the stage, you must work harder off the stage. Just imagine, a model with a cultural foundation has various unique performance methods for different clothing styles, which will facilitate the formation of your own personality and be easy to develop in your career. In fact, there are many cultural knowledge that are closely related to model performance, such as music knowledge, dance knowledge, costume design, photography art, stage lighting, etc., which are all necessary for people who are engaged in modeling majors. Even if they are not proficient in these things, they must be familiar with them.
The professional feeling of a model generally includes the feeling of clothing and the feeling of stage. The so-called feeling of clothing is
A kind of intuitive judgment of clothing, that is, being able to be familiar with clothing trends; know which style is suitable for which shape and temperament; being proficient in the personality requirements of one's own image. In layman's terms, it means that one can find the most intuition based on one's intuition and dress according to trend information.
We often see that when some people with good looks go on stage, they have no charm at all. This is related to the feeling of the stage. I think the feeling of the stage is related to personal talent, but
Yes, it is related to the feeling of the stage. I think the feeling of the stage is related to personal talent, but acquired cultivation is also very important. We often see some supermodels. When performing fashion shows, they often enter a state of being handy and as if no one else. Every move can fully express the beauty of fashion. Their stage feel can often bring the performing arts to the peak state.
Demonstrate ability
General display ability includes both stage performance skills and clothing display. No matter which model, they should have the skills to walk on the cat stand, that is, they can walk on the cat walk. Stage performance skills are generally cultivated through professional training. Fashion performances generally require models to understand the designer's design intentions and the director's music arrangement, and the purpose of the way to walk on the stage is. These requirements are the necessary clothing display ability for models to possess.
The above six points are the basic conditions that are necessary to become a qualified model. As an excellent model, you must not only have good physiological conditions and cultural foundation, but also have a certain understanding of fashion design, production and fabrics, accessories, music, stage lighting, etc. The model's workplace is on the runway. If you want to succeed on the stage, you must cultivate various related qualities in the stage. I think why Dior, a generation of fashion designer, calls fashion models "costume actors", may be related to this.
