So you Want to Be a Fashion Model?

Have you ever thought about becoming a fashion model? Do you think you have what it takes for that kind of job? The typical fashion model travels to exotic places, models the latest clothes, fashions, and accessories from top designers, and can even be featured in various magazines, which of course can also then lead to being pursued by manufacturers for you to do product endorsements.

But that is typically not where a fashion model STARTS. Like anything else, a fashion model or teen model usually starts significantly lower on the totem pole while they are gaining visibility with potential clients and top modeling agencies around the world. But if you are willing to “pay your dues”, the rewards can be fabulous from many perspectives, including travel, mingling with celebrities, attending exclusive events, and of course from a financial perspective. Top models can earn upwards of thousands of dollars per day.

Fashion modeling is no longer limited to just the “perfect” people anymore with the great looks, superb hair, and a Barbie-doll figure. Particularly in recent years, the fashion designers have started to realize that by only targeting the “perfect” people, they were ignoring a large portion, indeed a MAJORITY, of the audiences they could potentially target to sell their merchandise, accessories, and fashions.

That being the case, there is also a market for fashion models that almost spans the entire range of types of people; i.e., the petite, the “plus size”, the teen, the “mature”, and yes even the retiree crowd. Think about it, all those types of people have money also, and are willing to spend it if they are aware of the possibilities and availability of their products. And selling their creations and fashions is what they are in business for! To become a successful fashion model today, you no longer need to be limited to the group that is about 5 foot 8 inches tall at 120 pounds with perfect bouncy hair and about 22 years old.

There are many types of modeling jobs available, and virtually any of them would be a good start for someone with the motivation and desire to get into some of the top spots and top agencies. There is catalog modeling, runway modeling, showroom modeling, promotional or trade show modeling, television modeling, as well as print modeling like in newspapers or magazines.

Make no mistake about it, it is a tough market and there will likely be some long hours involved. But for those with the motivation and desire to succeed in this very competitive industry, the rewards can far outweigh the negatives.

Designer jeans are high-fashion jeans. The Nakash brothers (Joe, Ralph, and Avi) are generally credited with starting the trend when they launched their Jordache line of jeans in 1978. Designer jeans are cut for women and men and are often worn more fitted than low quality jeans, though relaxed cuts are available. They sometimes feature designer names or logos on the back pockets and on the right front coin-pocket.
Late 1970s to early 1980s
During the early rise to prominence of designer jeans, in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, it was fairly typical to see fashions for men follow those for women, just as previously women had been the first to wear flared and bell-bottomed trousers. For example, Jordache initially marketed their products to women only, but soon followed with a line for men that was very similar in overall appearance to the women’s. Given the general tendency toward bagginess in men’s pants today, this male-after-female trend is less noticeable; nevertheless, most jeans companies have offered low-rise cuts for men in recent years.
Within a few years of the Jordache launch, dozens of other brands were on the market; among them were:
Sergio Valente
Sasson
Gloria Vanderbilt
Chic
Calvin Klein
Bonjour
Guess?
Dittos
Joujou
Diesel
Racy, suggestive advertisements promoted many of the brands.
Today
In the late 1980s, designer jeans lost popularity. Beginning in the 1990s with Helmut Lang and into the early 2000s, they started coming back into fashion, with specialty brands such as 1921 Jeans, Agave, AG Jeans, Antik Denim, Blue Way, Brooklyn Bandit Jeans Citizens of Humanity, Cheap Monday, Chip and Pepper, Diesel, Dorinha Jeans Wear, Earnest Sewn, Ellecid, Energie, Evisu, Fortune Denim, Goldsign, Guess?, Hudson, Habitual, i-Jeans (Evolution of Freedom), Il Dolce, J Brand, J & Company, JamesJeans, Joe’s Jeans, Ksubi, Lucky Jeans, Mavi Jeans, Miss Sixty, Nudie Jeans, Paige Premium Denim, Paper Denim & Cloth, People For Peace, PRPS, Ranahan Jeans, Replay, Red Scorpion Jeans, Rock and Republic, Samurai Jeans, Seven for All Mankind, Silver Jeans, TAG, Taverniti So Jeans, True Religion, Miss Me, William Rast and Yanuk.
Designer jeans can be purchased at high-end department stores such as Holt Renfrew, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus, along with retailers like The Buckle, Urban Outfitters, and Kitson Boutique. Select Macy’s stores carry designer jeans. They typically cost from around USD 200, mid-range, to more than USD 500 for higher-end denim.
A few of the original designer brands, namely Jordache, Calvin Klein, and Dittos, are also coming back with the designs that made them popular.
Calvin Klein reproduced/reissued their old design of the loop stitched pocket as a throwback to the 1980s style and named them Omega jeans. The differences are that the copper rivets at the back pocket were taken out, no double stitches appear at the both side of the jeans, and the back pockets were redesigned with a bit of slanting to the edge.
In August 2007, Jordache completed a prominent advertising campaign featuring supermodel Heidi Klum, photographed in the Chateau Marmont.
Dittos jeans, in their trademark assortment of bright colors, are now available at Saks Fifth Avenue.
