Model tips – How you can be successful?

Modeling is a very hard job that is not easy as it seems sometimes.Everyone remembers the top models of the 90’s but the rel life of a model is quite difficult and different. To become a model you have to research physical requirements.On average you need to be between 1.73-1.83 tall, but they are always shorter models that could be successful like Kate Moss (1,68),that have unique beauty and face. The meausurements are strict in general but the fashion industry needs and women -models plus-size or better for my point of view curvy models that can be the best sample of all the kind of women.The most famous is Ashley Graham and in Greece I adore the friend of mine Pelagia Zervou, one beautiful woman and successful.The age is not a problem for the modeling contracts.In most cases you have to be young but many clients and fashion brands need also more mature women that can represent a fashion brand.You can work if you are 70 years old and you can be stunning and beautiful.

Eat right ,focus on the fresh ,organic food. Never starve whatever they are telling you.Exercise ,add some cardioand keep your muscles strong.Take care of your skin and DON’T DO drugs.Hardcore drugs like cocaine and heroin are dangerous.

Find a good model agency to represent you, build your portfolio and try to choose the right market that is appropriate for you, you can go to Milan, Paris. London, New York, Valencia, Dubai, Istanbul, Madrid.

Succeeding in your career .

First of all, read the entire contract of the model agency. Never sign off anything before reading it.Some contracts try to force the models compromise their morals or health for certain assignments. If the wording is too complex, you should have a lawyer to check it. Negotiate with the agent or the scouter if you are not comfortable with the terms. Show confidence, straighten your posture and make eye contact during the conversations.Modeling is a competitive industry, so you should be prepared to handle rejection from time to time. Be ready!

Accept the not so glamorous staff. Prepare yourself for working also during the weekends and spending lots of  time just waiting at the castings. I advice all the girls or boys that would like to work as models in the fashion industry to go to the university or college. Start STUDYING while you are modeling. Knowledge is a weapon. Educate yourself… This is the most important thing and your power. Every educated person is someone who knows where to get the information he needs. In order to create a desired result for himself.
