Is modelling for you?
It’s harder than it looks.
The first thing you need to do is find out whether you have what it takes to model and then to start approaching agencies with evidence to prove you have the right credentials.
The best way to approach modelling agencies is with a portfolio as there is no better way to demonstrate the potential you have. There is no easy way of becoming a fashion model, as very few candidates will meet the expectation of potential modelling agents, but there are a lot of tips and tried and tested methods that UK Models can help you with.
Becoming a female model is not just about having the right look and style, there are many more requirements if you truly want to succeed in this industry.
A great personality goes a long way!
You need to have a great personality, be able to work with a host of professionals such as hair stylists and photographers and also be very strong willed as there will always be a certain amount of rejection.
To be a model you have to have a motivation, determination and maturity as well as patience. The modelling world can be very chaotic, and you need to be able to stay grounded, and have the support of a good agent and family as the more in demand you are as a model, the more you will travel and spend time away from home.
Commercial: The Lowdown
A Commercial model is used to advertise a specific product or service, for example, a brand of toothpaste or kitchen product. Agencies rarely have specific requirements for Commercial models in terms of height or frame and they are often looking for a model to have a more attainable look than high fashion models.
The Commercial market may not be as glamorous as high fashion but it often results in models having a longer and more successful career.
Commercial models will be chosen to be the face of a product because they reflect the client/brand/companies ideal customer or who they think their clients can relate to and therefore encourage them to buy the product.

Petite Models: The industry is evolving.
More and more high street brands are recognizing the fact that people come in all different shapes and sizes and by only providing sleeves and trouser legs in a few standard sizes they are missing out on the rest of the population.
As a result of this high street, brands are creating separate petite destinations in their shops and online which has meant that the shorter model is more in demand than they have ever been before. High street brands and online retailers understand that by using petite models to advertise their shorter sizes they are giving the customer a more realistic picture of what they would look like in the outfit.
