Requirements for fashion models
The Association of Model Agents (AMA) says that female models should be around 34-24-34 inches (86-61-86 cm) and at least five feet eight inches (1.73 m) tall. Currently, the height required to do fashion shows has increased. During the last fashion shows in Europe, the average height was 1.79 m (5 ft 10 in), the average weight was 50 kg (110 lb), with bust between 85 to 90 cm (33.5 to 35.4 inches), waist under 62 cm (24.4 inches), and hips under 90 cm (35.4 inches), to fit the 34/36 size of haute Couture prototypes.Average dimensions for a male model are a height of 180-187 cm (5 ft 11 in- 6'2") and a weight of 64-75 kg (140-165 lb). Male models are also toned and fit as opposed to bulging with muscle.
The first model to pave the way for what would become the supermodel was Lisa Fonssagrives The relationship between her image on over 200 Vogue covers and her name recognition led to the future importance of Vogue in shaping future supermodels. Fonssagrives at the height of her career could be both sophisticated and yet a kook, with which every American woman could identify. Her image appeared on cover of every fashion magazine during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s from town and country and Vogue to the original Vanity Far. Model Janice Dickinson however, asserts that she was the person for which the term was coined.
History of fashion models
The first true fashion model is generally believed to be Parisian shopgirl, Marie Vernet Worth. She became the first professional mannequin in 1853, to help her fashion designer husband, Charles Frederick Worth
Glamour models
Glamour photography emphasizes the model rather than products, fashion or environment. Typically the sexuality of the model is emphasized in glamour photography, while in fashion photography the emphasis is on the clothes.
Early glamour modeling is often associated with "French postcards", small post card sized images that sold by street vendors in France. The early 1900’s the pinup became popular. Pinups depicted scantily dressed women often in a playful pose seemingly surprised or startled by the viewer. The model would usually have an expression of delight which seemed to invite the viewer to come and play. Betty Grable was one of the most famous pinup models of all time, her pinup in a bathing suit was extremely popular amongst World War II soldiers. In December of 1953 Marilyn Monroe was featured in the first issue of Playboy magazine. Playboy became the first magazine which featured nude glamour photography and was targeted to the mainstream consumer. Glamour models became popular in the early 90s with the Hope Talmons and Dita Von Teese that created a gateway into the modern neo models like Heidi Van Horn and Bernie Dexter.
Fitness models
Fitness modeling centers on displaying an athletic and healthy physique. Fitness models resemble bodybuilders but with less emphasis on muscle size. Their body weight is usually similar to (or slightly heavier than) fashion models, but they have a lower body fat percentage due to increased muscle mass relative to fat mass. They are usually muscular. The most recognized by name fitness models are Sebastian Siegel , Michael O'Hearn Christian Boeving and Clark Bartram.
Bikini models
Bikini models are similar to fitness models with emphasis on a fit physique and the beauty of the female curves. Bikini models are usually curvaceous and fit. For women models, usually the models can be shorter- more around 5'5-5'8 and need to be about 100 pounds or lighter, very thin.
Fine art models
Photographers, painters, sculptors, and other artists hire models to pose for their art.
Alternative models
Any model that does not fit into the normal category. Punk, Goth, Fetish, Tattooed, or having a uniqueness outside other model types. These mix with high fashion and art models.
Body part models
Some modeling agencies have divisions which represent male and female models with particularly attractive body parts. For example, hand models may be used to promote nail care products, leg models are useful for showcasing tights, and wrist models are used to showcase watches or bracelets. Petite models or females who are under 5'7" have found success through body part modeling. An example of a petite body part model is Isobella Jade.
Hobby Modeling
Hobby modeling is a term used to describe individuals who love to be in front of the camera and who pose for photographers in various types of images. The main characteristics that identifies hobby modeling is that the model do not get compensated for her modeling time. In hobby modeling the model poses for photographs mainly for the sake of creating beautiful images, or taking good professional photographs free of charge. Sometimes a model who starts off her modeling career as a hobby, later becomes a professional, whereas she starts getting paid to model. An example of a hobby model is a partime model who models with the receipt of the processed images as payment
