Introduction

• We chose this theme , schools for models, because more and more we see girls and boys who dream of being models. These schools have a key role for those who want to follow the way of fashion.

Schools for models

• Modeling schools focus on teaching students about fashion and acting. Modeling is about conveying an attitude and telling a story, and schools for modeling help students with this.

• They also help students understand fashion design, and the fashion world in general. Fashion design is a craft that many models pursue.

What are the requirements to be a model?

• There is no escape from the fashion market and its standards. For women and men some measures related to the height, bust, waist and hip must be respected, this is.

• Usually women get into the fashion world between 14 and 18 but men mostly around 16.

• Fashion models need to be charismatic, creative, determinated, passionate and energetic.

Women’s ideal body types throughout history

• Women have been shown in a variety of shapes and sizes. Beauty ideals have changed over the years.

• While today's ideal body is more Beyoncé or Kim Kardashian, there was once a time when flat chests and boyfish figures were considered the most desirable.

• And this video reminds us just how much:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrp0zJZu0a4

What is the difference between catwalk model and photo model?

• The runway model is a person who offers his body as a channel where the designer demonstrates his creativity, usually in parades.

• The good side of being a runway model is that is possible to shoot, parade, do business, which provides a higher income but then these models can not gain weight at all.

Some runway models:

Gisele Bundchen

Alessandra AmbrosioAdriana Lima

Bruna Tenorio

• Photo model is the person who performs poses for photos of commercial products, magazine covers…

• The model plays a role which will be estabilished by a stage director, a photographer.

Our opinion

• Models’ schools have the important function as help young people who want to be models to behave as such, have a good attitude and posture and learn more about the area.

• In our opinion, the models, especially those participating in parades, should not be so thin.

• We also realized that being a model is a hard job and not as glamours as one might think.
