star in Hollywood , or work part time locally for fun,
Element Model Management has a division tailored to fit
your career aspirations.
Commercial Print
In commercial print modeling, there are no age, height or
size restrictions. Ethnic backgrounds are as colorful as the
rainbow and noware in the greatest demand. Most
commercial print work is for catalogues, brochures, lifestyle
magazines, company industrial videos, and commercials -
venues where the general public wants to see people like them
using or wearing the products. Element Model Management
books many models who work for many high profile clients.
Commercial print work is very desirable as the hours are
consistent, money is the greatest (due to residuals and buy-
outs), and repeat-modeling opportunities are high. Look through
some mail-order catalogs, magazines, and TV commercials to
get an idea of what is involved. Physical High fashion runway
modeling, often referred to as "Haute Couture", is the presentation
of designer clothes, either at fashion shows or in publications.
The modeling of jewelry and cosmetics also falls into this category.
Designers request seasoned, experienced models, and new, fresh
faces. Runway modeling is considered the most glamorous type
of live modeling. It requires confidence, grace, insight, and it is
one of the most effective ways to gain exposure in the fashion
world. A runway model's job is to play the part and assume the
attitude of the designer's creation. The requirements for local and
national runway models vary greatly. In the local market there is
flexibility based on the target market.Models can be petite
(under 5'8 "), full figure and lifestyle models aged between 4 and
60 , and of all ethnic backgrounds. On the national level, the
requirements for runway modeling are very stringent.
Editorial
Editorial modeling is the most confusing and indefinable
division in the modeling industry. You will find editorial models
gracing the pages of venerable magazines such as Cosmopolitan,
W, Vogue, and ELLE. These models work for specific campaigns
such as Gucci, Guess, Hugo Boss, Armani, Polo, Victoria 's Secret,
and Prada. Editorial modeling is both the most difficult and one of
the most desired levels to achieve as a model. However, the elusive
looks needed by each esigner are fleeting and ever-changing. With
patience, creativity, attitude, and a lot of luck, editorial modeling can
be one of the most exciting careers in the industry.
