7 Biggest MYTHS About MODELING

#Models #ModelingAgencies
I RESPOND TO ALL COMMENTS

There are many myths about the modeling profession that can create confusion for new or aspiring models. Sadly, these fables may stop them from pursuing their lifelong dream of becoming a career model.

One of the myths is around the height and measurements of both male and female models. High Fashion Models are required to have specific body measurements, but why are the measurements so specific and what exactly are modeling agencies looking for? When agencies scout new faces for their roster, typically they look for that "it" factor. Some people may be physically beautiful, and while this is a plus, they may not be model beautiful. There is a difference between the beauty that is seen in everyday life, and the beauty that is seen in models.

Physically wise, for runway, women need to be.. I would say, 5'7, minimum- or taller. I say 5'7 because Barbara Palvin and Cara Delevigne were around that height, and they were quite successful. It's rare, however, at that height. Most female runway models are approximately 5'9 and up. Of course there's Kate Moss, who broke that rule a while back, but there hasn't been another successful model around her height recently.

For males, no less than 5'11. Most well known models I see who walk the runways these days are at least 6 ft. The agencies and casting directors are very prudent on height.

Another Myth is that "Models Make a lot of Money"
Between the yearly Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid uber-models and the huge amounts of money spent by designers at Fashion Week (a 2011 Marc Jacobs show was estimated to have cost $1 million), it would seem most models are swimming in cash. “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” model Linda Evangelista told Vogue in 1990. She probably didn’t — Evangelista’s career was marked by multimillion-dollar contracts.

But the median yearly wage for models in the United States, based on 2012 census data, is a mere $18,750, and fashion’s main event is unlikely to contribute much to that balance. Hundreds of relatively unknown models will fly to New York hoping to book a coveted spot in a runway show, which can pay $250 to $1,000 depending on the show and the model — a stipend that’s unlikely to cover what the model spent on travel and accommodations. Some Fashion Week hopefuls won’t walk in any shows at all, and others will end up in the red, even after walking in several shows.
