How common is an interest in fashion/modelling/model life? Do you think the average person wished they could be a model and live a model life?

>> No.10004722

OF COURSE

MODELLING REQUIRES SO LITTLE EFFORT IN STARK CONTRAST TO PROFIT, WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT?

- JOE

>> No.10004737

Probably very common.There are always those basic chicks who watch Victoria's Secret fashion shows and want to become an Angel, or those frat boys who want to model for Abercrombie. But they usually lack the looks or body requirements, and don't have much interest in fashion beyond what they can find at the mall, so they get nowhere with that.

>> No.10004744

>>10004717
The average person may want to look like a model, but being a model is a dangerous proposition. The second you get too old, your profitability instantly goes to zero, and your skillset isn't exactly portable.

The ideal solution would be to model while acquiring a degree or something. Few do that, so far as I know.

Depends entirely on your appearance, but 21 isn't necessarily too old. Or 24. Or even 27.

It matters how you look more. I'm 22 f and I've been modelling the last 8 months and have been paid for most of it.
I've been told to go to an agency by a photog and some MUA friends/people I modeled for, but I don't really know how to go about that

it's suggested that models also go into acting, at least in the beginning. I have gotten a majority of jobs "acting" in commercials rather than print work or anything else.

but i won't call it amazing
don't buy the hype and start wasting money on cops that cost over 500 dollars
Also no one is looking at you as intensely as /fa/ and if someone judges you for how you dress they don't really need your attention or respect
That's just my opinion
dress comfortable, be confidence
that's all you need to do.

my step-brother was the runner up in a show called search for a supermodel in 2000 :-]
modelling is shit, kate moss used to work 17 hour days. it's difficult, incredibly boring and not at all glamorous. you have to be a certain kind of person to succeed at it. a job or two when you're young might be a good idea for fun and a little bit of cash but it's really quite a shitty career decision unless you're a kloss or a moss. people that dream of modelling are usually very vain with little idea of what it actually involves.

>>10004744
professionals at least get good networking opportunities. a lot of models move into styling, photography or design as their career moves on.

That being said it's not like all models are miserable, they're like actors, if you're the right kind of person with enough love for the industry it's the best job in the world. If you watch interviews with (admittedly) successful figures in modelling they talk about it with so much love and admiration for the artform. Some people are just wired in a certain way so much that they cant even do much else.

Definitely, it's like any job that leads to being a celebrity, the people who can do it are generally just crazy and can't even handle normal life.
