There are many modeling categories and types of models for each category. 

Types of Modeling:

Modeling successfully in any of these categories depends on your look, your attitude and your agent. Industry experts at Do I Look Like A Model have defined each one of these attributes by modeling category. 

What Are Modeling Requirements of Age, Height & Size Requirements by Type of Modeling?

Models and Talent come in all shapes and sizes. However, when it comes to high fashion, catalogue, and runway modeling there are very specific sizes one must be to have a successful career. Why? Because in  these types of modeling, the clothes are not in the stores and being pulled off of the racks to be modeled. They are hot out of the top designer studios and are referred to as samples.

The ages for these divisions usually range between 14 – 30 years.

High Fashion, Runway and Catalogue Modeling Requirements
Female models need to be 5′9″ A to small C cup bust, up to a 26″ waist, and no more than a 35″ hip.

Male models need to be 6′ to 6′3″ no more than a 42 jacket and no more than a 34″ waist.

Plus models also need to be body proportionate. Ranging in sizes 12 – 18.

Commercial Print Models
This is one of the largest divisions of modeling because it does not have the strict age, height and size requirements.
Commercial print modeling is the modeling of a product and not apparel. It could be for anything from an advertisement for Samsung, apple computers, Pine Sol, Tide detergent, to Crest toothpaste.

The age requirement is from newborns to the mature.

There are no specific height and size requirements. Commercial print modeling is basically the everyday slice of life that the mass populations can identify with.  Can you hear me now?  Perfect!

 Most importantly, before you can get started in modeling you must first be confident that you have the look and which category of modeling you are best suited for depending on your body type (height and body proportion).  Our experts recommend you submit your model profile and photos to professional scouts with Do I Look Like A Model before sending them to modeling agencies to ensure you’ve chosen the best photos of yourself.  There is only one chance to make a first impression.  Too often, aspiring models send agents photos that don’t truly show how photogenic they are because they are over made up, too scantily dressed or just bad photography by supposed professionals.
