Requirements For Being A Model

There are many different types of modelling categories. Each modelling category has different requirements. The main modelling categories are:

• Editorial / Fashion
• Commercial / Print
• Fitness
• Plus Size
• Kids
• Real People

Modelling is open to both male and female models and people of any ethnics or national background. While some modelling categories can have very specific height or weight requirements others can be more accessible. There are models of all ages, up to 60+.

The two main modelling categories are Editorial/Fashion (i.e. runway and fashion magazine models) and Commercial.

Editorial/Fashion has very strict requirements for height and weight, Commercial is a very broad category with requirements that are not as strict, there are all sorts of commercial models.

While there are some exceptions, in most cases female commercial models have to be at least 5'6 or 5'7 and usually no more than 5'11 tall (for male models at least 5'9). If you are 5'5 or under your chances of success are very limited in comparison to taller models.
