You need no educational qualifications to be a fashion model but, you must have a unique image, be the right size and height as well as show enthusiasm and be relaxed when on the catwalk or in front of a photographer. Your height is a very crucial factor if you are considering the high fashion industry. Top agencies such as Elite and Ford require a girl’s height to be between 5’8″ to 6’. Other requirements for high fashion female models are: Bust: 32-35″Waist: 22-25″Hips: 33-36“ If you weren’t blessed with height, but have a knack for selling, commercial modeling may be just what you want. You will need to practice giving the look that will help sell the product. If you are one of the lucky ones with a flawless complexion, you may decide on becoming a beauty model. For those that have a great body and don’t mind showing it off, glamour modeling may be your choice. Height is not an issue in glamour modeling, but you must have a toned body with 34-B Bust, 22-24″ Waist and 34″ Hips. If you are none of the above but still fancy a shot at it, try artistic modeling, there are no specific requirements for this.
