Requirements for recruiting models?

What does it take to be a fashion model? As long as you are taller? The answer is no. Some time ago, it was reported by the media that in a recent fashion model contest held in China, more than 70% of the contestants had college degrees, and quite a few of them had undergraduate degrees. They are not only impeccable in figure and appearance, but also admirable in cultural level and manners. To be a fashion model, we should have a good figure and appearance foundation, and also cooperate with other factors, such as personal temperament, cultural foundation, personality cultivation, clothing display ability and other internal qualities. Become a successful model. Therefore, as a model, she should have comprehensive qualities in all aspects. To sum up, there are several conditions, such as body shape, appearance, temperament, cultural foundation, professional feeling and display ability.

(1) body type

Height is the most basic condition for a model. The height of female fashion models is generally between 1.72~ 1.85 meters. Nowadays, several supermodels in the world, such as cindy crawford and Claudia Yima, are all around1.82m in height. The height of female advertising models is generally above 1.66 meters. Male models are generally between1.80 ~1.90m in height, 86~90 cm in chest circumference, 63~78 cm in waist circumference and 70~80 kg in weight. Harmonious body proportion is an important physiological basis of models. For models that embody the beauty of human body, we can refer to the golden section law when judging whether their bodies are harmonious or not. For the model's figure proportion, we can analyze it from the following aspects.

1, upper and lower body ratio-the requirement for models is that the lower body is longer than the upper body. 2, the proportion of big and small legs-the ratio of small legs to thighs is close to or slightly longer than thighs.

3. Head-to-body ratio-The length of the head is 1/7~ 1/8 of the body length, and a smaller head will make the body look more dexterous.

4, measurements-the chest should not be too straight, the hips should be narrow, and the hips should not sag.

(2) Appearance

Although the appearance is not prominent, it is also a very important image factor. For models, the ideal head shape is oval, and the face shape should not be too wide, but slightly longer. Correct facial features are the minimum requirement. You don't need to be very beautiful. As long as you have personality, you can still stand out.

(3) temperament

An excellent model often has a distinctive temperament. It includes people's posture, expressions, manners, manners and so on. As a model, it is not enough to have a good figure and facial features. With a good temperament, you can set off a wonderful fashion. Therefore, it is very important for models to always pay attention to their inner cultivation and appearance.

Cultural foundation

In people's minds, as long as you are tall and beautiful, you can become a good model. In fact, this understanding is wrong. If that's the case, why does our country want to set up modeling majors in various colleges, technical secondary schools and technical schools, and only choose some people who meet the standards of figure and appearance in society? Facts tell us that although education level and cultural accomplishment are not absolutely consistent concepts, models who have not entered colleges and universities still have to obtain some necessary knowledge through other channels.

Imagine, a model with a cultural foundation, he (or she) has a variety of unique expression methods for different clothing styles, which is convenient for forming his own personality and career development. In fact, a lot of cultural knowledge has a lot to do with model performance. Such as music knowledge, dance knowledge, costume design, photography art, stage lighting, etc. Are all things that people engaged in modeling must know. Even if they can't master these things, they should be familiar with them.

(E) Professional feelings

The professional feelings of models generally include clothing feelings and stage feelings. The so-called sense of clothing is an intuitive judgment of clothing, that is, being familiar with the fashion trend of clothing; People who know which style is suitable for which style and temperament; Be proficient in the personality requirements of your own image. Generally speaking, you can find the deepest trend by your intuition and dress up according to the trend information.

We often see some good-looking people on stage without charm, which is related to the stage feeling. I think the sense of stage is related to personal talent, but the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is also very important. We often see some supermodels. When they perform fashion shows, they often enter a state of being handy and no one is watching. Every move can show the beauty of fashion to the fullest, and their sense of stage can often bring the performing arts to the peak.

(6) Demonstrate ability

General display ability includes two aspects: stage performance skills and display clothing ability. No matter what kind of model, you should have the skills of catwalk, that is, you should be able to catwalk. Stage performance skills are generally cultivated through professional training. Fashion shows generally require models to understand the designer's design ideas.

The purpose of the characters and arrangement and the director's position on the stage. The content of these requirements is the clothing display ability that a model must have.

The above six points are the basic conditions for becoming a qualified model.

As an excellent model, you should not only have good physiological conditions and cultural foundation, but also have a certain understanding of clothing design, production, fabrics, accessories, music and stage lighting. The model's workplace is on the runway. If we want to succeed on the stage, we must cultivate all kinds of relevant qualities under the stage. I think it may have something to do with why Dior's generation of fashion designers call fashion models "fashion actors".
