Most runway models' work environment is a venue like a hotel or other similar facility that has a backstage area for the changing room and hair and makeup, as well as the actual catwalk/ramp they walk on. Other fashion shows take place outdoors, where they will have tents or other similar covering for the models to change.

The experience is different for each model but in general it is very competitive and involves a lot of rejection and some criticism.

No previous work experience or training is required to become a runway model but you must meet specific requirements. For female models they should be between 5'8"-6'0" and have measurements of 34-24-34 (bust, waist and hips in inches...you can be smaller but no larger than 1 inch in any of those areas). Male models should be between 5'11"-6'2" (more agencies are raising the height max to 6'3").

Lacking that one inch will work against you if you want to be a male runway model, unless you have a great look.
