I asked a classmate, what are the standard requirements for male models?

To be a good model, you should have comprehensive qualities in all aspects. Taken together, there should be several conditions such as body shape, appearance, temperament, cultural foundation, professional feeling, and presentation ability.

Standards for male models

(1) Body shape

What models look for, of course, depends on their body shape.

For professional clothing models, height is the most basic condition for a model (this is not the case for advertising models). Female clothing models are generally between 1.70 and 1.83 meters tall. Several models in the world today Supermodels, such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiff and others, are all about 1.82 meters tall. Female advertising models generally need to be over 1.65 meters tall. Of course, your face is more important. The height of male models is generally between 1.80 and 1.90 meters, the chest is 86~90 cm, the waist is 63~78 cm, and the weight is between 70 and 80 kg.

Harmonious body proportions are an important physiological basis for models. For models, who are the showcase of the beauty of human body form, the "golden section rule" can be used as a reference when judging whether our body shapes are harmonious.

The model’s body proportions can be analyzed from the following aspects.

1. Upper to lower body ratio - The requirement for models is that the lower body is longer than the upper body.

2. Leg to calf ratio - The calf to thigh ratio is nearly equal or slightly longer than the thigh.

3. Head-to-body ratio--The head length is preferably 1/7~1/8 of the body length. A smaller head will make the body appear more agile.

4. Measurements - If you have a good bust, of course designers like to use it; your waist should not exceed 60 centimeters, your hips should be narrow and should be within 90 centimeters, and your buttocks should not sag.

(2) Appearance

For T-stage models, although appearance is not as prominent as body, it is also a very important external factor. For us, the ideal head shape is oval, and the face should not be wide, but can be slightly longer. Good facial features are the minimum requirement. They don’t have to be very beautiful. As long as you have personality, you can still stand out. For example, that one, and that one...

Don't forget, your skin health is also very important.

(3) Temperament

An excellent model often has a unique temperament. It includes people's posture, expression, demeanor, speech and behavior, etc. As a model, it is not enough to have a good figure and facial features. Only with a good temperament can you create wonderful fashion clothes. If you are born with a construction site or pastoral temperament, perhaps only a few people can accept you.

So, it is very important for models to always pay attention to their inner cultivation and appearance.

(4) Cultural Foundation

Today, society is complicated. In people’s minds, as long as you have a tall figure and a beautiful face, you can become a good model. . In fact, this understanding is wrong. If this is the case, then why does the country set up modeling majors in various higher education, technical secondary schools, and technical clothing colleges? What else do we spend great efforts to cultivate? Wouldn't it be enough to randomly pick some people on the street who meet the standard of body shape and appearance? Facts tell us that although education and cultural literacy are not absolutely consistent concepts, models who have not entered colleges and universities still have to obtain some necessary knowledge through other channels.

Imagine that a model with a cultural foundation has various unique ways of performing different clothing styles, which makes it easier to form his or her own personality and develop professionally. In fact, a lot of cultural knowledge is closely related to model performance. For example, music knowledge, dance knowledge, costume design, photography art, stage lighting, etc. are all things that those who work in the modeling profession must know. Even if he (or she) knows a little bit of history, he (or she) can display the clothing of different eras. It must be very appropriate. Even if you can't master these things, you still need to be familiar with them.

(5) Professional feeling

A model’s professional feeling generally includes clothing feeling and stage feeling. The so-called clothing sense is an intuitive judgment about clothing, that is, being familiar with clothing trends; knowing which style is suitable for which type of body and temperament; and being proficient in the personality requirements of one's own image. In layman's terms, it means that you can use your own intuition to find out the latest trends and dress according to the trend information.

We often see that some good-looking people have no charm at all once they get on the stage. This has something to do with the feeling of the stage. I think stage feeling is related to personal talent, but acquired training is also very important. We often see some supermodels. When they perform fashion shows, they often enter a state where they are at ease and as if no one else is around. They can show the beauty of fashion to the fullest in every move they make. Their stage feeling can often make the performance better. Art brought to its peak state.

Standards for male models

(6) Display ability

General display ability includes two aspects: stage performance skills and clothing display ability.

No matter what kind of model, they should have the skills to walk on the T-stage, that is, they must be able to walk the catwalk. Stage performance skills are generally developed through professional training. Fashion shows generally require models to understand the designer's design intentions and the choreographer's purpose of arranging music and walking on the stage. The content of these requirements is the ability that models must have to display clothing.

The above six troublesome items are the basic conditions necessary to become a qualified model.

As an excellent model, you must not only have good physical conditions and cultural foundation, but also have a certain understanding of clothing design, production, fabrics, accessories, music, stage lighting, etc. The workplace of models is on the T-stage. If you want to be successful on the stage, you must cultivate various related qualities off the stage. I think this may have something to do with why Dior, a generation of fashion design masters, called fashion models "costume actors"!

=====

Classification of models: divided into fashion models, commercial models, endorsement models, underwear models, fitting models, parts models, special models, etc. , according to price classification, generally divided into four grades.

I will first introduce them one by one according to type.

1. Runway model

Runway model is the most common model for people. It is said to be a movable hanger that gives clothing spirituality. In order to achieve the most ideal wearing effect of clothing design, Among all types of models, the relative physical requirements of fashion models are second only to those of fitting models. There is a relatively uniform standard for the height and body measurement proportions of fashion models. 95% of professional fashion models meet this standard.

But there are exceptions. Occasionally, an alternative fashion model will appear and be selected to win the award. This is because this model has outstanding characteristics in certain aspects and thus has a certain market value. For example, the popularity of Lu Yan, who does not conform to Eastern aesthetic habits, in the modeling world where there are so many beauties can be used as an explanation.

But you must understand that the above exceptions are not the norm. Only a very few such alternative models have the possibility of becoming popular. Most well-known or unknown professional models still meet the general fashion model body requirements. If you do not have such physical conditions, try to give up the idea of ??becoming a fashion model.

(1) Female models

a. Height: The unified height for international fashion models to participate in performances is 1.78m (Italy sometimes requires 1.8Om), while the height requirements for domestic fashion models are It is between 1.75 and 1.80m.

b. Bust: The ideal size is a bust of 90cm, and the usual requirement is 83cm-90cm.

c. Waist circumference: There is a saying that the waist circumference is 60cm, and another saying is that it requires about 63cm.

d. Hip circumference: Hip circumference is required to be within 9Ocm.

e. Shoe size: between 37-40.

f. Appearance: The appearance standard of fashion models does not depend on whether they are beautiful or not, but whether they have a three-dimensional sense or personality. Characteristics, but girls with good looks always have more chances. Even connoisseurs are tempted by beauty.

g. Perception requirements: a well-proportioned body (long legs), no sagging hips, no fat on the body (especially the waist), no loose muscles, a small head and a small face, a slightly long neck, and a sense of lines on the face , with skinny texture, normal, healthy and clean skin without scars and birthmarks, non-allergic skin (no allergic reaction to any clothing and fabrics).

h. Standard body measurements: Not all fashion models, whether Chinese or foreign, can meet the above standards. According to Chinese racial characteristics, the standard body measurements are generally 84cm chest, 6lcm waist, and 90cm hip. But it should be noted that the hip circumference usually cannot exceed the standard by more than 2cm.

(2). Male model

a. Height: between 1.80 and 1.90.

b. Shoulder width: 52cm-55cm.

c. Bust: 103cm-106cm.

d. Waist circumference: 76cm-83cm.

(The male model has few questions, so I won’t say more, otherwise it will tire me to death, please forgive me)

2. Commercial model (Commercial model)

< p>The concept of commercial models is relative to fashion models. Fashion models have very specific body shape requirements, but not all situations where models are used need to meet the standards of fashion models.

The print models, exhibition models, endorsement models, etc. that everyone often hears about actually belong to the category of commercial models.

The concept of commercial models is that they are models mainly engaged in commercial promotion work. There are no special height or measurement requirements for this type of models, which are generally above 1.65m. Commercial models also need to have good image, skin and hair quality. Since most commercial models work in front of the camera, most commercial models are required to have good acting abilities and expressiveness in front of the camera.

Models such as exhibition models, car models, house models and other types of models not only require the above conditions, but also must have certain professional knowledge of the product in order to answer customer questions while promoting the product.

3. Underwear models

Because underwear models need to expose a large area of ??the body, the requirements for the model's figure, measurements, and skin are more stringent than those of fashion models. It can be said that underwear models make the body the most beautiful. The perfect model.

Underwear models cannot be ordinary fashion models. At present, the fashion trend of underwear (extroversion of wearing methods, fashionization and design techniques) has made the underwear world get rid of the initial use of general supplies. Monotony and boredom have become diverse, colorful and colorful. This has also created an increasing demand for underwear models.

Basic requirements for underwear models: no fat on the body, healthy, shiny skin, no scars, plump and upturned buttocks, hip circumference not exceeding 90CM, bust size above 75B.

4. Fitting model

The so-called fitting model, as the name suggests, is responsible for trying on clothes and providing feedback on the clothes to the fashion designers and craftsmen in the clothing company's production room. , they are living models for designers. Such models are classified based on clothing number. Therefore, becoming a fitting model does not require you to have a devilish figure of over 175 centimeters like a traditional model. On the contrary, models that can reflect the public's figure are more popular. Different styles of clothing have different height requirements for fitting models. Many clothing companies recruit fitting models for advertisements, and the height requirements are between 158-168 centimeters.

Although there are not many requirements for the height of the fitting model, the figure of the fitting model must meet certain standards - the model's bust, waist, hip, neck circumference, upper and lower body ratio, breast Location and other requirements are very strict. Compared with ordinary models, fitting models do not need to be very "glamorous" and do not have many requirements for appearance. Therefore, even people with average looks have the opportunity to step into the ranks of this special model. In addition to having a standard body shape, designers also like models who have a high appreciation of clothing and can accurately describe the problems with the clothing they are trying on. Excellent fitting models can also propose popular possibilities based on their experience. They are good consultants for fashion designers.

Although there are not many requirements for the height and appearance of fitting models, the figure of fitting models must meet certain standards - the model's bust, waist, hips, neck circumference, and upper and lower body proportions , breast position and other requirements are very strict. The skill of a fitting model is a high level of clothing appreciation and the ability to accurately express the problems with the clothing being tried on. Excellent fitting models can also suggest popular possibilities based on experience. They are good advisors to costume designers.

Fit-fitting models are very popular abroad and are necessary models for famous brand clothing companies. They are generally charged by the hour. However, their application in domestic clothing companies is limited and needs to be developed.

5. Pars model

Because some products require human body parts as carriers, including hand models, leg models, mouth models, ear models, waist and hip models, etc. , this type of model does not require body shape and image, but requires partial perfection of the body. There have been examples of foreign hand models earning very high salaries.

6. Special models

Can be divided into specific character models and specific body models. Specific character models refer to models that are specifically suitable for a specific profession or position or the image of a well-known figure. For example, specifying a boss image for a computer or electronic notebook, specifying an image that matches the identity of a hotel manager, waiter, or security guard, as well as an image that looks similar to a celebrity, etc., are all specific character models. This type of model is not restricted by age or height, and the choice of appearance is relatively wide during registration. But when using specific character models, the requirements are very specific and detailed.

The component model in the previous section is also a type of special model.

Some websites and modeling companies also list mannequins as special models.
