Seems like they always go to airport hotels. What happened to your friend, did they scam her for money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadc Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 most are. I work with Ford, yet still get bullcrap offers from such as e-models, and other scummy agency's.

carsonmartin Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 Originally posted by chadc If you really are looking to model, and fit the requirements...What exactly are requirements.....i know it depends on what you are trying to get into (print, runway, etc) based on height, weight etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadc Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Originally posted by carsonmartin What exactly are requirements.....i know it depends on what you are trying to get into (print, runway, etc) based on height, weight etc. Runway and Editorial are the best IMO. For Runway the requirements are the most strict. 6"0 and over / and in the 170-180 lbs range is ideal. Designers for shows have clothes that come in only ONE size (i believe its 40) oso every model has to be able to fit in them and wear them with comfort. A slim face with visible bone structure and a lean cut body would be the best.Editorial and Runway mostly work together. Photos as in GQ, Vogue, and campaigns like Versace, Gucci, Givenchy are where the money is at. Once again a certain look is needed. For the European labels a more exotic Euro look is stressed, while labels like A&F, Buckle, etc...want that All-American boy look. It all comes down to the photographer and his criteria for the shoot.Finally there is Commercial. If you are not tall enough or dont display the visual characteristics for High Print, and Runway then commercial is the best way to go. This area is a lot more leinient and not as harsh as the previous. You still need a certain look for Commercial but it does not have to be as strong.Take a look at www.fordmodels.com under the New York division.You will need a comp card, as you will see on the site. I'm Chad Cole. The cards show 3-4 different pictures with your stats on them. But thats after you got your feet in the waterFeel free to ask anything you want -chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsonmartin Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 wow...they must get 100's of pics in the mail a day, hmm i'm 6' though I am more built than the typical model ~200lbs, but i still got a small waist 33" i could easily drop weight but i wouldn't even thin about getting any smaller unless of course i got a job, and i definately have a "look" but i don't think its Euro...i wouldnt know. ha...oh well. maybe i will send some photos....the thing is my friend got "discovered" and he lived in nyc for a while last year when he was like 19 i think. but he is at college now...he's been on VH-1 and in a music video and was in glamour or one of those mags...
