What Does It Take to Be a Fashion Model?

One of the only ways you can become a model when you are not tall and slender is by being famous. Models are required to be young and anyone hoping to join the industry should do so when they are in their teens. A 25-year-old model is considered to be old, though there are some who pass as models.

Most models are recruited by scouts who are constantly searching for new faces. Many models have been discovered in clubs, shopping malls, and other areas where young people frequent. Since no one knows where the modeling scouts will be at any given time, it is difficult to say the best places to hang out. A young person who fits the physical requirements is likely to be noticed at one time or another. Anyone who feels they meet the requirements can also send pictures or go to a modeling agency. There are a number of agencies in the country and it is important to make sure the agency visited is reputable.

When sending photographs to an agency, it is better to send simple photos that show you as you really are, than to try and create an expensive portfolio. The agencies prefer to see the models in their 'raw form', or natural face, so that they can see what they have to work with. Another way to become a model is by going for open castings. A number of agencies have castings a couple of times a year and this is a great place to get noticed.

There have been a few cases where model conventions and schools have produced some results. It is generally believed, however, that this is usually a waste of time and money. A number of those who attend the schools have no chance of becoming models. The schools will enroll anyone because they are, after all, getting paid. No one should have to pay anything to get access to a reputable agency.

Before you say 'I want to be a fashion model', you should know that the first few years are going to be very difficult. You need to persevere and have strong character and ambition to make it in the industry. It can take a long time before you start getting regular bookings. You may also be required to work away from home which can really be stressful especially for young models. This is a business that attracts many characters, and most of them are out to take advantage of the young vulnerable models.

Tumblr Style: 90s Trends From Fashion Week

Feeling nostalgic for the bubblegum pop days of the late 1980s and 90s? How about grunge, early hip hop and the supermodels? The fashion world sure is. With the past few seasons in fashion has come a slew of 90s inspired styles ranging from sophisticated tailoring and business woman ideals, to a Tumblr inspired teenage wasteland of cartoonish makeup, models and prints. Designers envisioned both hip moody girls with straggly technicolor hair, and strong working mothers with jobs to do, children to raise, and chic business events and parties to attend immediately after. Taking style cues from 90s icons like clueless's Cher, Bart Simpson, Gwen Stefani and Kurt Cobain, cool, colorful and kitschy are three words that come to mind.

The Tumblr generation is definitely a part of the earlier, pop and grunge inspired fashion set- looking to heroes like the always eccentric Jeremy Scott. For Fall 2012, Jeremy Scott's gang was complete with jeweled bindis and angular Gwen looking blonde wigs- with bright streaks of color of course. Where Scott's last collection(spring 2012) was on the fluffier sexier spice girls side of the 90's- the fall collection was all about internet graphics, attitude and surprisingly, Lisa Frank. There were literally screenshots and emoticons printed on dresses and leggings, complimented by a 90s interpretation of 70s glam. A graphic unicorn cutout, corset that looks like it was covered in stickers, and sparkly groovy prints on shiny fabrics! A more sophisticated iridescence has been in order lately from Christopher Kane, who pairs rainbow hombres with smooth black paneling and silhouettes. Prabul Gurung has also been ahead of he 90s curve with pieces swathed in shimmering purple iradesence. This redeaux of sparkly girly 90s things is a fun statement look this season, and appeals to the teenaged and twenty somethings spamming the internet with memorabilia and trendy separates.

Other girly 90s style designs can be seen at Meadham Kirchoff, with pastel clad Courtney Love look-a-likes and too-cute cartoon prints in rich textures. Other trends from the grunge era that have been seen everywhere lately are cropped tops, long skirts, layers, athletic wear, velvet, plaid and Kool-Aid colored hair.

A more sophisticated, darker colored side of the 90s also appeared on runways, blogs and in magazines the past few seasons. Designers like Donna Karan, Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham have busy professional and personal lives, and design for a similar woman. This was personified by sportswear that was either athletic inspired or retro inspired yet highly functional. This idea translated into pieces that converted from daytime to nighttime, bows that functioned as pockets, and a whole new power woman- updated from the 90s heroine in shoulder pads played by Cindy Crawford. Many women on the runways and off during New York Fashion Week and London fashion week were wearing neon versions of these business lady separates- hot pink head to toe on Anna Dello Russo, and lemon yellow blazers everywhere! An even more dramatic heroine was created at L'Wrenn Scott's fall 2012 runway show, one that recall's an Anne Rice vampiric sort of power and decadence.

Velvet and grungey colors tied this look to other trends we have seen taking over- bringing it to a red carpet level as only L'Wren Scott could. While Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci spoke mostly about the antique or futuristic influences on his spring 2012 couture collection, there was something very 90s fashion and urban about the high/low dynamic of his pieces.Casual and athletic inspired basics were tight and cropped, with bold bands and athletic hints reminiscent of 90s hip hop fashion and sports gear. So whether you were born in the 90s or you remember them fondly,this year's fashion has got something inspirational for you.

Jakarta - Rumah mode Hermes dan Celine kembali meramaikan panggung mode Paris Fashion Week dengan koleksi terbarunya. Satu hal yang sama, rangkaian busana mereka tampak begitu wearable.

Untuk koleksi Fall/Winter 2012, Hermes menawarkan tampilan busana yang terinspirasi dari pakaian pria. Jadi tak heran jika tampilan tegas begitu terasa dan mendominasi dengan hadirnya poncho, cape, coat panjang, celana gaucho dan atasan longgar berbahan velvet.

Warna yang ditampilkan pun tak jauh dari nuansa maskulin, seperti abu-abu, navy, hitam dan olive. Namun untuk membuat koleksi terlihat lebih cerah, ada pula percikan warna oranye, ungu, merah serta print warna-warni.

Untuk aksesori, Hermes menyajikan ikat pinggang berukuran besar di atas poncho dan coat panjang yang berguna untuk membentuk lekuk tubuh. Selain itu ada pula boots berpotongan tinggi yang terbuat dari leather, topi fedora serta sarung tangan yang juga terbuat dari material kulit.

Beda Hermes, beda pula Celine. Brand yang digawangi oleh Phoebe Philo, kali ini menggelar peragaan busana yang tertutup. Hanya 30 editor mode yang dapat menyaksikan fashion show koleksi Fall/Winter 2012.

"Sangat indah, ada begitu sedikit orang dan kami merasa seperti yang terpilih. Phoebe tampak begitu santai dan atmosfernya seperti sedang berbagi pakaian. Itu begitu indah," ujar Lucinda Chambers, fashion editor Vogue Inggris.

Dalam koleksinya, Celine menawarkan sekitar 22 busana dengan konsep wearable serta tampilan modern minimalis, yang selama ini telah menjadi ciri khas desainnya. Coat dan celana bervolume tampil dengan potongan boxy dalam balutan teknik colorblock.

"Ini adalah pakaian yang indah untuk para wanita stylish," ujar Chambers menyimpulkan koleksi busana Celine terbaru.
