Consumer brands hire models to wear <strong>fashionable clothing<\/strong> in magazines, on runways, or to model cosmetic products. Models generally have stylists and makeup artists crafting their clothing, hairstyles, and appearance, but they are ultimately responsible for how they portray their look in front of the <strong>camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"mc-mb-4 mc-text-h2 highlight-shareable\">10 Basic Types of Fashion Models<\/h2>\n<div class=\"contentful__section-body highlight-shareable\">\n<p class=\"article-body__paragraph mc-mb-6\">There are ten basic types of models in the <strong>fashion world<\/strong>. Each type of <a href=\"https:\/\/whiteweb.studio\/sam\/model-modeling\/\"><strong>modeling<\/strong><\/a>has its own set of requirements:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article-body__list article-body__list--ordered mc-m-4\">\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Editorial models<\/strong>. These <strong>fashion <\/strong>models often appear in <strong>fashion magazines<\/strong>, like <em class=\"article-body__emphasis mc-text--italic\">Vogue<\/em> or <em class=\"article-body__emphasis mc-text--italic\">Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em>, wearing the latest designs from a particular <strong>fashion designer<\/strong> or clothing brand. Editorial models pose for <strong>fashion photographers<\/strong> during photoshoots, taking direction, and following their own artistic instinct to help capture the perfect image. <strong>Female models<\/strong> are categorized by their height and measurements, and are typically five feet, nine inches or taller and slim. <strong>Male models<\/strong> are categorized by their height and measurements, and are typically around six feet tall and slim.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Runway models<\/strong>. These <strong>fashion <\/strong>models walk the catwalk during <strong>fashion shows<\/strong>, displaying carefully curated ensembles for audiences that set the current tone or upcoming trends for the <strong>fashion world<\/strong>. All runway models are categorized by their height and measurements, and are typically over five feet, nine inches and slim.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Plus-size models<\/strong>. In the <strong>fashion modeling<\/strong> industry, models who are larger than the editorial standard are considered full-figured or curvy. They primarily model plus-size clothing designs.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Parts models<\/strong>. Parts models only model a specific body part in<strong> product photography<\/strong>. For example, they may use their hands to model a new nail polish, or their feet to advertise a new sandal. Parts models must take special care of their coveted feature to ensure it stays in optimal condition.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Fitness models<\/strong>. Maintaining peak physical fitness is a major requirement for <strong>fitness models<\/strong>. These <strong>fashion <\/strong>models exercise regularly, creating a toned and muscular physique. <strong>Fitness models<\/strong> usually appear in magazines, advertising supplements, workout attire, or gym facilities.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Glamour models<\/strong>. Glamour models are usually hired based on their appearance and sexual appeal. Brands and <strong>fashion photographers<\/strong> hire glamour models to appear in certain magazines, calendars, and music videos.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Lingerie models<\/strong>. Lingerie models pose in brassieres and underwear for photoshoots, catalogs, and magazines. These <strong>fashion <\/strong>models also work the runway to show off the latest undergarment <strong>fashion<\/strong> for lingerie brands and designer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Swimsuit models<\/strong>. Swimsuit models pose in bathing suits, showing off the latest in summer swimwear. The magazine <em class=\"article-body__emphasis mc-text--italic\">Sports Illustrated<\/em> is most known for its athletic swimsuit model features.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Promotional models<\/strong>. Brands hire this type of <strong>fashion model<\/strong> to market their products and services. Brands hire promotional models, commonly known as influencers, to promote their products and services to their target audiences.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-body__list-item mc-my-4\"><strong class=\"article-body__double_emphasis mc-text--bold\">Catalog models<\/strong>. Companies hire these commercial models for their relatable image. This type of modeling has more flexibility in terms of appearance. Catalogs typically feature models who look like everyday people, rather than runway-ready supermodels. This type of <strong>commercial modeling<\/strong> includes mainstream retail clothing, and products that are more accessible to general consumers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>Resources:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitpass.co.in\/blog\/top-10-most-famous-plus-size-models-ruling-the-fashion-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FITPASS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com.au\/fashion\/news\/these-are-the-most-famous-and-highest-paid-plussize-models-in-the-world\/image-gallery\/c56069b238e0213987a53beb4a392376\">Vogue <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.com.au\/plus-size-models\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Marie Claire Australia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fashion model works with consumer brands, fashion designers, fashion photographers, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,2457],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-fashion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 -
