When some people hear the phrase 'fashion model', they may think of a celebrity or a life of jet setting from one fashion show to the next. The potential careers of a fashion model, however, are varied and more demanding than some might think. Models in the fashion world work in promoting clothes and accessories to fashion buyers for major stores, the media, and customers. Fashion models work in various fields, including photographic modeling, television commercials, live or runway modeling, and product modeling.
