How old do you have to be to become a model?

Answer 1

Models of all ages are always needed. It's just a matter of figuring out what type of model you want to be. There are baby models, child models (age 5-12), teen models (13-17), and adult models (18 and older).

Commercial/print models typically can be any age since this type of modeling requires all ages to represent a variety of products and companies. Fashion and runway models are usually recruited between the ages of 13-17.

Answer 2

You could be any age at all if you want to become a fashion designer. The only difference is if the world knows your designs or not. You could be in elementary school like Cecilia Cassini and still get the government to agree to give you a license (to open your own company and everything). Most people, however, wait until they are in college or university, or even after (when they graduate), because they want more knowledge and experience.

Answer 3

Any age is good, but it all depends on what age group you are modeling for, depending on how old you look. There are baby models and kids models for magazines such as Limited Too. By going onto famous modeling company sites, such as Ford, Elite and DNA, you can figure out what age group they are looking for. Certain heights, ages, and looks are "signatures" of some modeling companies. Modeling agencies have parts of their sites that might be titles be discovered, or something similar. There might also be sites with contact info. Most professionals suggest entering things such as the following: Bust Height Under Bust Waist Hips Dress size Shoe size Weight Age Hair color Eye color Parent permission and parent contact information Your contact information (address, email, phone numbers, ect...) Interests and pictures of you There are alot of scams out there, so do some research on modeling agencies that are reputable. Also professional shots are a waste of money, and you don't need to go to modeling school or camps. Contests are always very good, and can improve your chances of getting into the fashion buisness. Most agencies, while entering information on their "be discovered" portion, just want head shot from the front and profile view, hair up and hair down (but not your hair all over ur face, just behind your ears to frame your face) And a full body shot, preferably in a bathing suit. Also you shouldn't wear any makeup while doing this because the agencies want to see your natural beauty. You can also add things like your interests, hobbies, job, or other things about you that will interest the modeling agencies. It's also important to have a good diet consisting of three meals, maybe small snacks, a day, with things on the food pyramid. Eating flax seed, cucumbers, apricots, and less sugar can improve your skin. Also wearing little to no makeup can help reduce skin problems. Also seeing a dermatologist can help with any skin problems, such as acne, dry skin, or oily skin. Also excercise is great for your body, like doing pilates. But most modeling agencies for high fashion DONT want people to have large muscles, or a large amount of muscles, UNLESS you are a man. Men should preferable have pecks and abs, as well as nicely defined leg muscles. There is no cure to acne or any skin problems. But ,once again, seeing a dermatologist can help you solve these problems. The preferred height for female fashion models, preferrably age 16 and older, is 5"7 to 6"2. For men, 5"7 is REALLY small, but you still might be able to get an agency to want you. 6 foot to 6"4 is a great height for adult male fashion models.

The same as most other majors. however, fashion is a tough industry to break into, so you would most likely need an internship or be working at a low paying job until you catch a break.
