From the time it was conceived, the field of "Modeling" has been ever growing and ever expanding. It has broken into the bastions of the most conservative societies of the world and has helped millions of young men and women become independent, famous, financially independent and more over responsible citizens. Modeling could be of more than one type and some of the more known and paying fields are as follows:

Types of Models

Fashion Models/ Editorial Models – Female

Editorial or high Fashion Models are the types of models you most often see in magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle and who walk for major designers such as CK, VERACE, GUCCI, CHANEL and others.

Fashion Models / Editorial models – Male

Editorial or male fashion models also work in major fashion magazines and do run away work for major designers. They are generally 6.0” –6”.4” and wear a regular 40 jacket. A male model should start his career not later than 23 at the most.

Glamour Models – Female

Glamour modeling is the term used for female models who do modeling work  such as swim suit, lingerie, and some times semi nude modeling. Glamour models tend to be curvier and more voluptuous than editorial or fashion models.

Runway Models – Female and Male

There were times when specific types of models who did runway modeling and those who did print modeling and rarely did a model do both, runway modeling and print modeling runway models were exotic with long legs and limbs and could have unique facial characteristics such as prominent noses and very high cheek bones. Print models had perfect facial features and rarely had unique characteristics, they were simply beautiful.

The industry changed forever in the early 80’s when the designer Versace began using print models like Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour and others for their runway shows. This was the beginning of the supermodel era. Supermodels were models who did it all, from print to runway to television and film. Today to become a supermodel or a fashion model who earns a substantial income you need to be able to do runway modeling as well as print modeling.

Commercial Models

Unlike editorial models, Commercial models have a much wider range of specifications in which to work. Commercial models can be any age, any height and size. Commercial models generally have much longer careers than editorial models because of the wide range of jobs and types of work. Commercial models can do print work, television commercials, corporate and training videos, films and many other types of jobs. Good commercial models must master a wide range of looks and emotions on camera to promote their client’s products or services.

Petite Models

Petite models are generally 5’2” to 5’6” with good body proportions. Petite models are hired most often for swimsuits, lingerie, jewelry and other types of jobs where fine bone structure and body size is important.

Plus Size Models

Plus size models are more in demand than ever before and many of the top international modeling agencies now have plus size divisions in addition to their editorial divisions. Plus size models range from a size 10 and up and are generally 5’5” to 5’10”.

Part Models

Part models are models who specialize in hand, foot, legs and other body parts modeling. This is a very specialized art and it takes more than just having a nice manicure or attractive legs necessary for this type of modeling.

  In addition to having perfectly proportioned hands, feet, and legs, etc, body parts models are meticulous about taking great care of their gifted special features. There are lots of stories about hand models wearing special gloves 24 hours a day and never using their hands to do daily chores such as washing dishes or opening jars and soda cans or do anything that could potentially harm their valuable assets. Some even go to the extent of insuring their assets for millions of dollars.
