Best Fashion Tips for Male Models

The tough requirements to be met for male models may be perhaps one major deterrent. Fret not as we espouse some major Fashion tips that will prove highly useful.

Skincare
Something that all men are probably guilty of is not looking after their skin, and even worse, believing that it’s only a female thing. Well, FYI if you want to become a model, you need to start looking appealing, and skin care plays an indispensable role in this endeavor.
Top Male model David Gandy reveals in an interview that one of his secrets is skin care in three simple steps, which are to exfoliate, using serum and moisturizer. Three simple, yet powerful and effective steps which models and males who wish to look good should religiously follow. If you have five minutes to brush your teeth, then you have five minutes to care for your skin. Your future self will thank you for it.

For exfoliating there are plenty of natural ways to do that, else any dermatologically tested exfoliant will work fine. Next in choosing a serum, make sure you are using a water-based serum which is thin enough to seep into your skin and stay below your moisturizing cream. The serum is a concentrated mixture of active ingredients that will effectively target and remove any skin concerns. Lastly, models will swear by the benefits of a moisturizer. For dry skin and humid weather conditions (Think of an outdoor shoot with thick clothing) this can dramatically impact the skin structure. Using a moisturizer prevents the drying of skin, reduces wrinkles and reduces the aging effect.

Pay attention to your accessories
Also, another advice from Gandy is to wear the perfect accessories. Unlike the plethora of accessories that women can wear, with various colored styles, men don’t have the extravagance of many accessories. So we have to wear what we can to perfection. Our shoes, watch, ties and fragrance are all the accessories that we need to invest in well so as to create the best look we can. This is a good tip for all males let alone models.

Exercise

Male models need not be bulked up like the hulk, but there is a need to be toned and fit. You don’t have to be grinding at the gym, but you have to be doing your cardio workout and spending time on light weights to tone the shape of your muscles.

Confidence
The saying when you look good you feel good, works the other way round too. Confidence for men is non-negotiable. Male models, especially those who show off more of their skin, are usually employed not just because they look good promoting a men’s line of clothing or product, but also because clients want to associate their products to strength and confidence. As a male model, your body posture and facial features should thus tally accordingly.

Male models should work on their looks, skin and confidence just as hard as their female counterparts to have more successful male models in the industry. By following our tips and working hard enough, the standards of male modeling can only go one way, up!

Top 4 Tips for Male Models

We all know female models have strict and complex beauty regimes with the moisturizing, make up wonders, and many other beauty treatments to get them looking on top of their game. Men are not any different, they are expected to maintain beauty regimes and take care of their overall skin and health. Master the following tips we are about to provide you, because these come from the experiences we have had with our own male models, and it will surely help you to develop yourself as a model.

Find your Style

You have to do your own research on popular male models, and practice the poses and style that brings the best out of your body and look. Some men prefer the casual, messy hair look, whereas others go for the sleek and professional suit-tuxedo look. You have to find out what fits you the best and let the agency you join know your style preferences.

Train Harder than the Next Guy

No pain no gain. Building up your physical fitness and being confident in your body is a must for male models. One pro tip is to have a music player loaded with fast and energetic songs. To train hard by pushing yourself at the gym is important, but remember to mix up your training routine with different types of exercises like swimming, running, other kinds of sports, yoga and a variety of others. For male models, it’s more important to have a lean and well-toned body than a muscular and bulky body.

Get your Diet Right
You have to complement your training with the right foods. Lean meats, green vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds are perfect for before and after workouts. Remove processed foods and foods that high in salt, sodium, and sugar from your diet. If you want your skin looking clear, then your food has to be clean too. 

Choose the Right Agency
You have to get into an agency that grooms male models and is established successfully with a good client base. An experienced agency will know how to pair you with the right kind of projects that guides your progress in the industry. You must also like the people you are working with. Once you sign up with an agency, the people from the front desk to the backstage crew will be interacting and working with you. You must be familiar and socialize well with their staff.


Work out, eat healthy will help you get comfortable with your body and get more confident. That is the top most vital component of a good male model. They have the necessary confidence to pose in front of the camera knowing that their posture and look will be captured well on the lens.

2016 in Review: What are the Recent Highlight Projects of Create Talents?

The end of the year is here! You know what that means; don’t you? It is now the season of joy, giving, and reflection. We want to recap you with some of our best projects over the course of 2016. We delight in all the projects that Create Talents and Models has successfully accomplished over the year and so that all of us who are part of this great agency may head into the New Year with a greater sense of passion, pride, and style.

Orchard Gateway Bridal Fashion Show

Early in the year, from March to June 2016, stunning Bridal Fashion show took place at Orchard Gateway which left the audience (especially women awaiting their big day) at awe. It was held over a course of 7 series and our models Ula L, Nazli G, Randi B and Kirsten P had to pose for photo shoots and perform runway modeling with their magnificent gowns. Trust us, it was tough to get all of them dressed and ready to model with perfection, nevertheless our female models didn’t disappoint and had put on their A game. Bridal modeling has its challenges, yet it always turns out to be exciting and a treat for the eyes.

HPB Shoot 

The Health Promotion Board print advertisement is one of our cherished Government sector projects which featured male model Zali B. It was an F.I.G.H.T campaign which was meant to educate the public on the ways to protect against Flu and other infectious diseases. The advertisement had become very popularly spread island wide.  We were certainly excited to see Zali all over the nation on posters on buses, taxis, and billboards. 

Front Row Runway Festival at The Shoppes at MBS

A prestigious event which featured our Create Talents Model, RK10 K, is the ‘Front Row’ Runway Festival held at Marina Bay Sands. It was a celebration of fashion weeks from the four fashion capitals around the world Milan, Paris, London and New York. RK10K represented Uomo Collezioni’s Canali brand and strode the runway with a day and nightwear suit. The event had featured an array of grand designer brands such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Burberry, Coach, and Versace, amongst which was the equally prestigious Canali. RK10K was an absolute dapper and made a strong statement about the Canali brand which is re-launching in Singapore.

Asian Tour

A whopping ten of our kid models took part in this single project which was meant to advertise the Asian Tour. The Asian Tour, in a nutshell, stages multiple tournaments throughout Asia and aims to develop professional golf throughout Asia. The kid models involved were Carmen G, Charlie T, Esther P, Jayden-G, Kenji P, Matt Jaemond, Maurice H, Shawn P, Rahul, and Rishab. It is our pleasure to see such young, bright talents excelling in the modeling field, and finding confidence in their own body and skin. Kudos to the young lads, and we hope to work more with our kid models who are full of life.

Jetstar Asia
The first project by Jetstar Asia entitled #FridayFREEFlights was a fun and quirky project in which our models Angela P and Han S had to model for basically our generation’s favorite past time- ‘taking selfies’. A short video was released on every Tuesday of the month of October, where the public could take part through following the theme and instructions given for the week as exemplified through our models and upload their selfie on respective Fridays on any social media account. The four creative themes were ‘Lovey Dovey Passport Selfie’, ‘Goofy Passport Selfie’, ‘Photobomb Passport Selfie’ and ‘Face Swap Passport Selfie’.

The second was a print advertisement featuring out model Candy N being part of a group selfie advertising Jetstar. We are on the whole, honored to have worked with one of Singapore’s aviation giants, and we look forward to collaborating on more future projects.

Mediacorp

Mediacorp has always been our prestigious client where many talents from our agency get the opportunity to cast and act. This year, we did a heartwarming Father’s day TV commercial project which featured 6 of our models, Jan D, Ali Khan, Teck Lee, Alexa P, Viran D, and Mukesh K. The advertisement tugged at the heart strings and made everyone think about the love and importance of fathers. It was broadcasted on Mediacorp Channel 5 together with the hashtag #CelebratingFathersSG which sparked meaningful conversation on social media.

Another Mediacorp Channel 5 project we concluded successfully this year was the ‘Cash Struck’ video shoot with our senior model, Moey Y. This was a spoof of the PPAP (Pen pineapple Apple Pen) song which went viral online. We thank Mediacorp for the opportunity to allow Create Talents for giving our models the experience to be part of a significant mainstream media channel in Singapore.

That’s not all! We also had some awesome Print Advertisements to add to the souvenir collection.

Other than the Jetstar Asia and HPB print advertisements shoots we also had our models featuring for other companies. They include Keks K for POSB, Nia S for Bata, Shayan K for M1 & C3A 2016 Shoot, Joshua N and Ryan C for Mount Faber Peak, Anneliese W for AIA group photoshoot, Han S & Bonnie Y for FairPrice Shoot, and Jane J for P&G (Procter & Gamble) print advertisements.

In a Nutshell

Create Talents and Models has come far over the course of the year and worked for plenty of clients apart from those listed above. Some of which are, SG Secure, Singtel, Starhub, Samsung, IDA, Skin Inc, Bata, Maggi, Chandon, Dutch Lady & Disney, Klook, Guinness, Golden Scissors Awards events and many projects.

None of these successes would be possible without the people hard at work behind the scenes. The scouters work hard, rain or shine, to search and recruit promising new talents; our bookers diligently source for good job opportunities for our models, our customer service front line patiently deals with large numbers of clients and models every single day, and our photographers do an excellent job at getting the best quality of visuals possible. Thank you to everyone who has made this agency kicking and running. This is only the beginning of many more successes to come in a brand new year. 2017, here we come!
