Types of Modelling - Fashion Modelling and Catwalk Modelling

Over the next few days i will be displaying new posts describing different types of modelling.

There are many different types of modelling in many different areas and industries. Glamour modelling is often in the form of print in mens magazines for example, and things like character modelling often occurs in how to booklets and informational videos e.g. how to do mechanics may require a character model for someone who looks like a mechanic.

First in this series i will be touching on....

Fashion Modelling & Catwalk Modelling:

The term fashion modelling covers a wide range of work: from editorials and covers for fashion magazines to commercial advertising campaigns for manufacturers, including the top brands.
Catwalk means modelling clothes in fashion shows.

Perceived to be glamorous, it is very hard work, very difficult to get into and only a few models make it to the top. If you do get there though you will become very famous and are very likely to see the world.

Distinctive facial features are on and off in demand, but the requirements and expectations change constantly. You need to be tall, thin and young generally. There are exceptions like Kate Moss who is old yet is enjoying some of her greatest successes now, although generally this is not the case.
