or photographer is looking for. Some of
those genres have fairly wide variations
in what they want the model to look like
in terms of height, weight, looks, body
build etc. However, some of them have
very strict limitations on what they want
the model to look like in order to be hired
for a project.
For now, let’s just talk about runway
and fashion modeling. These are the
models that become widely known,
make above average salaries and make
the connections to have a career after
modeling.
Runway and fashion modeling is also the
type of modeling many young women
are asking about when they ask about a
career in modeling. Unfortunately runway
and fashion modeling have the most
restrictive limitations for the look they
demand.
Fashion models have very particular age,
height, and measurement standards.
The typical age is 16-21. Some models
have been younger than this, but many
agencies will require models to be at
least 16. Likewise, models can be older
but agencies and clients tend to like
their models to look younger. Height is
between 5’9-6, bust is between 32-36,
waist is between 22-26, and hips should
be between 33-35.
