Editorial Models

Editorial basically means you are a print model. Doing modeling for
Magazines, Adverts, Newspapers, etc. This means that height is not
that important, but if you are 5’5” your jobs will be limited.
Basic requirements for editorial modeling:
Females
Height: 5’8”–6’0” (sometimes 5’9” and sometimes up to 6’2”)
Bust: 32”–34”
Waist: 23”–25”
Hips: 33”–35”
Males
Height: 6’0” minimum
Waist: 31”–33”
Editorial modeling, like a fashion spread you would see in Vogue, is
very exclusive and generally prefers tall, very thin, young models with
sharp facial structures. Unique features such as large or wide-spaced
eyes, big lips, high cheekbones and gaps in teeth often open doors for
those starting in editorial modeling. Some of these features are considered less conventionally attractive, but are ideal in these jobs.
