Types of Modeling
At
Create Talents and Models we pride ourselves in working with talents of all
ages, ethnicity, sizes, and types. We are constantly looking for passionate &
hardworking models, who have well maintained body features and a clean
well-groomed overall look, to join our family.
EDITORIAL AND FASHION
Fashion
and editorial models usually have strict height requirements where female
models are generally over 1.75m, and a male model is between 1.8m and 1.9m.
Jobs related to these divisions are typically editorial spreads for fashion
magazines such as ELLE, Men’s Health, and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH)
magazines. Models here have very high confidence in their bodies and a powerful
look.
COMMERCIAL AND LIFESTYLE PRINT
ADVERTISEMENTS
Commercial
and lifestyle modeling is the most common form and many models start from here
too. There are no specific ages, height, or size requirements and selection of
models is based on their marketability and their suitability for the role. Take
some time to browse the advertisements in newspapers and magazines; you will
see that all ages, ethnicities, and sizes of people are represented. Models are
used to act as family members, doctors, students, insurance, financial
representatives and a plethora of others types. These are all acted by
professional models and you have the opportunity to do so too! Your ability to
act out and fit different roles will be assessed and our bookers will match
your looks and expertise to the best fitting role.
CATALOGUE
Catalogue
modeling is another tough opportunity to land as clients are highly selective
on the models they want. Generally, girls over 175cm and vital statistics
around 34-24-34 are expected. Male models are between 6' and 6'2" with a
suit size usually anywhere from 39 to 42.
These
specifications are not only for aesthetic purposes but because clients might
not yet have gone into production and would only standard sized prototypes of
the clothing design which requires them to pick models within that size range.
RUNWAY
Runway
models have generally the same height and size requirements as editorial and fashion
modeling. However, the requirements vary for different projects. For instance,
a small fashion show at the local mall (which is a common runway modeling
project) probably won't require you to be a certain height or size.
What’s
more important is that models are sought out for their experiences in runway
modeling. Runway models would have to exude a high level of confidence.
BRIDAL ASSIGNMENTS
This
is a common form of modeling as there is a strong market for bridal accessories
and wedding related products. Model brides are usually picked out for their
sweet and positive look, and their willingness to don wedding gowns and portray
them with confidence.
TV, DRAMA AND ACTING
Create
talents and Models, is proud to have worked with esteemed television and
broadcasting companies and celebrities. We constantly welcome and decorate
models with a good TV personality and acting caliber. A variety of models and a
variety of looks are accepted here, without any restrictions.
BEAUTY PRODUCTS
There
aren’t specific body size requirements in modeling for beauty related goods and
services, cosmetics or hair products, but it isn’t necessarily easy to acquire
these jobs either. Clients would expect clear skin, and good features. For
example, if you are modeling for a shampoo advertisement you would need to have
thick, luscious and firm hair. A clean, healthy and natural overall look is
expected.
PLUS SIZE
Clients
and consumers are increasingly showing an affinity for models that are more
representative of the men and the women in our society. This has given rise to
plus-sized fashion and plus-sized models. The requirements are usually models
beyond the size 14.
KIDS AND SENIOR MODELING
Who
said modeling is only for youthful girls and guys only? At Create Talents we
have plenty of kids and senior models who appear in print advertisements and
commercials.
