male modelling

[kol_lover]

im just wondering, what are the requirements for a male model?

height, etc...

 

[yourbestfriend]

5'11-6'2 waist 30-32 although some models have 28-33

 

[kol_lover]

there are of course exceptions right?

ian somerhalder is only 5'9

freddie ljungberg is only 5'9

 

[yourbestfriend]

i've never heard of either of those models but I know there is a model named Joseph with major who is 5'6 and got work with dsquared but i havent heard much of him anytime lately. The other shortest model I know of is 5'10 Ambrose with click who is on models.com top 50.

[kol_lover]

recognise them?

 

[yourbestfriend]

sorry i cant say i have, but the 2nd guy looks somewhat familiar. What visible jobs have they done?

and if youre wondering if you could model, the best thing to do would be sending pics or polaraoids of yourself to an agency, if they like you theyll ask you to come in to see them or send them more pics. If they dont think youre suitable they wont reply at all.

im not really wondering if i could model, only a little, more of a interest in how it goes for male models. im only just 17, so college is most important to me anyway.

[yourbestfriend]

Well, since Freddie is a soccer player he is not a "real" model, therefore the basic requirements of a model dont apply to him.

 

[fouroclock]

Ljungber doesn't count. He's a football player. And he's mine

 

[kol_lover]

hehe

He WAS on Lost, but they killed him off
But he was better in Rules of Attraction anyways.

there are exceptions i suppose it depends on how much the like your face or how much they think you'll grow i'm 5'10 and have a 27 inch waist, there are a couple of other guys that are the same hight as me oliver cheshier (sp?) is quite big and he's 5'10

 

[Acid]

Stan Ripley/ Storm London/ MAJOR NY is only 5'9, but hes only 14 years old as well
but he has been working amazingly, he got a 10 page ed in another man magazine by himself
people love his face so much that the height is something they are prepared to work around

on the flipside, Dragos, who IMO has one of the best faces in the world right now is only 5'11 and didnt book a single show at fashion week but manages to do the best editorial in 10 magazine amoungst others

its best for a guy to be 6'1 or 6'2 to realistically expect to be doing all 3 : editorial campaigns and shows

 

[J'ador-DioR]

^ I love Dragos Stoian too . It' s strange that he doesn' t get to do shows while someone like Olivier Cheshire, who is around 5'9'' does runway all the time. I think having high cheekbones is a great advantage too.

 

[Acid]

oliver is NOT 5'9, he is about 6 feet actually...

the reason he gets booked for all of those shows like dolce and d squared is because he has a great body. and he is also quite a homo-fantasy type boy so those sort of designers love him

His agency lists him as 5'9'' . If anything they should be adding on a few inches rather than taking some off. No?. He looks short on the runway too compared to other models.
