The lights, the camera's, the designer clothes, and the beautiful models, all of these are contributing pieces of a runway fashion show. But the models who are strutting down the runway, showing off high standard fashion clothes, are not the only models that are out there. There are many types of models that work in this line of business. There are commercial models, catalog models, plus size models, parts models, and so many more. All models have something in common though, they all live a challenging life. Although many believe that being famous, or on the cover of top rated magazines will make you happy and feel fulfilled, living that form of life can create a feeling of having no privacy. There are many perks however, in working as a model. For example, if working as a runway model, it is not unheard of to have a salary of five hundred dollars per hour. That high of a salary is mainly only given if it is a very large name show. Catalog models can receive one hundred dollars to two hundred or more. The amount of an hourly salary is dependent upon the popularity of the company or brand being modeled and if the model has a good reputation. The life of a model is very busy and includes a multitude of challenges that the model needs to be ready for.
Everybody loves a pretty face, but having a unique look is not all that mandatory for models. A good attitude and a capability to work well with others are necessary characteristics of a model along with plenty others. If you have a desire to be a model but you have a bad attitude and act as if you know everything there is to know, that will not go over well with agencies you may be looking to support you in your future possible career as a model....

...en the modeling world by storm since 1989 (Jones 6). Marcus Schenkenberg was first seen by a modeling scout when he was rollerskating in Venice, Italy. Born August 4, 1968, he is 45 now and still modeling. David Beckham is also another famous male model. Born
May 2, 1975 he is also an actor.
Though models have to deal with much strife and challenging tasks. Not many people realize how much energy goes into modeling. The biggest tip for being a model, is stay true to yourself. When you are a model, many people will tell you to wear this, do that, walk like this, talk like that. But the most important thing to know is that you should do what you love and love what you do. Modeling is not a fast paced career, it takes time and patience from everyone involved, you may not be receiving the results you wish for, but if you keep at it, you will get better and better.
What data might be collected by the evaluating occupational therapist if he or she is guided by the PEOP Model and why?
The life of models has always looked so glamorous; that’s the point. Girls and women are supposed to aspire to look and live like them, and boys and men are supposed to aspire to date them. However, many of these girls’s dreams are crushed when they are nonchalantly told that they can not be a model if they expect to eat ice cream everyday like they already do, or if they are only 5 foot 4 and they are told that models have to be taller than that to even be considered for the job. Teenage boys get their dreams crushed when they realize that only star athletes and wealthy men get to date what’s considered the prettiest people in the world. This has to make us question why all the advertisements today feature these types of people:
Across America today, modeling agencies are influencing an unhealthy image to young women. Girls now believe that they are not good enough because of their size or how they look. Self-esteem is being diminished, and eating disorders are the result of the dream to look like the girls walking down the runway. Sizes that were considered for overweight people have changed dramatically in just ten years. The editing done to these pictures, create a false sense of hope to the average person aspiring to look like they’re “idol” on billboards, magazines, and television. The unachievable “look” is increasingly hurting the pride of adolescent females that the modeling industry should be supporting.
“My lips and fingers were blue because I was so thin that my heart was struggling to pump blood around my body”, said teen model fashion Georgina (Carroll 1). The new skinny has become excessively scrawny. Is it definitely not normal for today’s society models to walk around with blue fingers starving themselves until their organs start failing! As for the model agencies, they couldn’t care less of the pressure and dangerous practices they put the models through in order for them to stay thin for the runway. Even fashion Designers continue to produce the smallest couture sample sizes and scout for the slimiest bodies to wear the designs not aware of the consequences of the pressure they not only put on models, but on the society girls to look like these starving models. And when the models continue to get offers from the most important fashion industries like Prada, it motivates them to keep doing what they are doing to stay in the shape they are in (Carroll 1). But little did the outside world know what this pressure had on the models and what they were doing to their bodies to peruse their modeling careers.
“Girls of all kinds can be beautiful --- from the thin, plus- sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain- skinny, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between” (Tyra Banks). Tyra Banks is a worldwide model, actress, and businesswoman. She has modeled for numerous magazines and brands, such as Victoria Secret, Covergirl, and Vogue. She is also known for her TV production, America’s Next Top Model. In this show, she helps women and men of all types to become a model. However, based on the type of model someone wishes to become, there is usually an image the company wants. If someone wished to become a model who walks on the catwalks and runways, the companies would only want to take the client if they are tall, and lanky. Modeling
A professional model performs services for agencies under a contract, handing over his or her exclusive legal rights for the use of his or her name, portrait, pictures or images, for a variety of advertising outlets (251)
The Fashion Industry can be described as a glamorous world with cameras flashing, beautiful models strutting down the runway, in stunning and grand designs. What really goes on behind fashion’s dolled up doors is only an illusion compared to what reality is. Beautiful people, stylish clothing and timeless sophistication all make up the illusion of the glitz and glam of the fashion industry, but behind the curtains countless of models and designers constantly fall victim to this industry’s ever changing wrath. Fashion can be defined as a popular trend especially in styles of dress, ornaments or behavior. A model is a person who poses or displays for art purposes, fashion or other products and advertising. Fashion models are used mainly to promote products focusing mostly on clothing and accessory. The two main type of modeling in the fashion industry is commercial modeling and high fashion modeling. High Fashion models usually work for campaigns, designer’s collections and magazine editorials for high fashion designers. Runway modeling also known as “catwalk modeling” is displaying fashions and is generally performed by high fashion models. In my research paper, my main focus will be the multiple effects on high fashion models based upon the industry’s unregulated standards.

My story exploited the themes of: the role of violence in society; the consequences of irresponsible or rash actions; and the consequences of hate which were clearly exhibited in Act 3 Scene 1. I chose to convey these themes through the modern context of social media and an online world. I made this decision because it is more relatable for teenagers and it is a common form of violence in society that can harm people physically, emotionally and mentally but is often left out on the list. I changed the gender of the characters from the play and also altered the names; however, I did carry the first letter of the characters names to have continuity. I also manipulated how Mercutio introduced to Tybalt as the “King of Cats” and used a metaphor

Racism in the modeling industry needs to be informed to upcoming models. There are certain models that are wanted to be in the industry, these models are the ideal models. Women of color are not nearly as wanted as the ideal models. The most common ideal model is white skin, 5”11, size 2 or zero, weighing 100 pounds , 36-24-36, and size for hips. Black girls and girls of different races do not all have the same body type as white girls, therefore they are not being commonly selected in the industry. Only 2 to 5% of black girls, Chinese girls, and Latina girls will be selected into the modeling industry. The fashion and also the modeling industry have long set the trends and standards that girls strive
It took quite a long journey to get into fashion photography it was like two years of shooting. I studied at university with a lot of amazingly talented designers. They had collections to show and photo-students were sick of being forced to photograph the "commercial design", they we interested more in their personal art. I have shown my portrait work of the fashion designers and I was asked to take pictures of their designs with models. They told me everything
For example, when they go on auditions they are supposed to be a certain height, weight, and shape. The judges can cut you from walking in a show just because they don’t like the shape of your waist or the way you walk. Models are often body shamed if they don’t look like the average model which why most of them do extreme workouts and are on extreme diets to look like the average model, which is not healthy.
...parison from a supermodel to a teenage girl. People constantly put themselves down because of the havoc the industry causes by having to thin models.
Fashion design is one of the most authentic categories of art. Fashion can be seen everywhere, from runways in Paris to the streets in home. It can be created, studied, or worn, promoting the way someone feels about themselves and their style. Many people that focus their daily life into fashion design and blogging show a different type of mentality toward fashion. It takes a lot of practice, learning, and research in order to proceed into the fashion industry. Fashion is not a first class ride, but a bumpy bicycle journey. It takes hard work and discipline in order to reach your desired goal once you are already someone in this industry. There are many famous designers around the world known for their brands and pieces. What makes them a
