Generally speaking, there are three main standards for models. Those who meet these three main standards have the basic skeletal conditions to become a fashion model. 1. Height: The current uniform height for international fashion models participating in performances is 1.78m (Italy sometimes requires 1.8m). If the number of people for the performance cannot be reached, the height can fluctuate up or down by 2 to 3cm. Therefore, girls with a height between 1.75 and 1.8lm are within the standard. 2. Body measurements Body measurements refer to bust, waist and hip circumference. The ideal size is bust 90cm, waist 60cm, and hip 9Ocm, but even in Europe, not all can meet this standard. In view of the racial characteristics of our country, the standard body measurements are generally 84cm bust, 6cm waist, and 90cm hips. Some models are fatter but can still be hired if their hips do not exceed the standard 2cm. 3. Appearance: The standard of appearance of fashion models is not just to see whether they are beautiful or not, but mainly to see whether they have a three-dimensional sense or whether they have personality characteristics. When selecting a model, experts not only look at their appearance, but also consider the effects of their makeup, and at the same time observe whether their personality is qualified for modeling work based on their speech, behavior and facial features. In our country, girls with advantageous looks have more opportunities. 2. Basic elements of fashion model conditions. In addition to the bone requirements, there are five standards for models. Those who meet these five standards have the basic conditions to become a full-time model. 1. Proportions There are two proportions: the first is the ratio of the head to the whole body. The normal ratio between the body and the head of an average person is that the head is one-eighth of the body. The proportion of the model should be that the head is smaller than the normal ratio. If it is greater than one-eighth, other conditions must be balanced. The second is---the ratio of the length of the upper body to the lower body. The dividing line between the upper and lower body is the sacrum. The upper body is from the top of the head to the sacrum, and the lower body is from the sacrum to the soles of the feet. According to the ethnic characteristics of our country, applicants can be admitted if their upper and lower body lengths are equal. It is better if the lower body is longer than the upper body. The longer the legs, the better the condition. There is a second method of measurement. The upper body is measured from the Dazhui point to the hip line, and the lower body is measured from the hip line to the ankle bone. This measurement method is more beneficial to clothing designers. They can directly think of the clothing number, but it is difficult for other customers to imagine the body condition from the size. Therefore, both methods of measurement are required, and only the difference is given in the name of the proportion. 2. Leg shape Leg shape is very important for fashion models. In interviews, people often lose the job due to poor leg shape. The model's legs should be of uniform thickness, with a straight midline and strong calves. The thighs are too thick, the calves are large, or the outer or inner arcs of the midline of the legs are not ideal. 3. Face shape: The best face shapes for models are oval face, oval face, and rectangular face. Other face shapes should be selected according to other conditions, and compensation should be made in makeup and hairstyle. 4. Skin The roughness, fineness and color of the model's skin are directly related to the opportunity to use it. If your skin is good, you will have more opportunities and a wider range of adaptation. Aesthetic acne or rough skin can affect your chances. Even those with good skin should pay special attention to protection. Because models wear a lot of professional makeup and have irregular daily routines, if they want to maintain the beauty of their skin, they must pay special attention to controlling their intake of tobacco, alcohol, sugar and spicy foods. 5. Hand shape: It is also common to use hands to make advertisements for jewelry and computers. The requirements for good hand shape are that the fingers are slender and slender, the joints should not be large, the nails are finely trimmed, and the skin is delicate and elastic. 3. Specific business requirements for models. The above are the standards for fashion models, graphic film and visual models, but in actual operation, they are also divided into specific character models, product image models, fitting models and etiquette models. 1. Specific character model Specific character model refers to the image of a model that is specifically suitable for a specific occupation or position. For example, assigning a boss image to a computer or electronic notebook, assigning an identity-appropriate image to a hotel manager, waiter, or security guard, 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. The requirements for using specific character models are very specific and detailed. 2. Product image models Product image models are the darlings of the modeling world, the advertising world and even the corporate world. There is almost no image fault in them.
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 points are the basic conditions necessary to become a qualified model. As an excellent model, you must not only have good physiological conditions and cultural foundation, but also have knowledge of clothing design, production, fabrics, accessories, music, Stage lighting, etc. have a certain ability to comprehend. The workplace of models is on the T stage. If you want to succeed on stage, you must cultivate various related qualities off the stage. I think it may have something to do with why Dior, a generation of fashion design masters, called fashion models "costume actors."
