What Are The Requirements To Be A Model In The 21st Century?

As a young women who desires to be a fashion model, you need to know what are the requirements to be a model. The fashion modeling world has changed a lot from a few years ago when your beauty, height, and size had very strict requirements. These type of models were considered editorial or "edgy" type models because they possessed physical characteristics that were not mainstream in most women.

So you may be be asking yourself: Could I be a model in the 21st century? The new fashion model requirements of the 21st century have a broader set of physical requirements. To be considered as a "High fashion" model you still need to be 5'7" to 6'1" and a size 0 to 6, but there are many other modeling categories you can target if you don't meet these physical requirements.

There is a category called "Fit", for ladies who are 5'2" to 5'7" and a size 2 to 10. This category is considered a Commercial or a "mainstream" category because most women you meet everyday meet these physical characteristics. Don't confuse a "Fit" model with someone who needs to have six pack abs. A "Fit" model's job is to try on various clothing for a designer's upcoming clothing line.
