| Model (person)
A model is a pattern, plan, representation (especially in miniature), or description designed to show the main object or workings of an object, system, or concept. A model is a pattern, plan,representation (especially in miniature), or description designed to show the main object or workings of an object, system, or concept. The Association of Model Agents (AMA) says that female models should be around 34-24-34 in (86-61-86 cm) and at least 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) tall. Currently, the height required to do fashion shows has increased. During the last fashion shows in Europe, the average height was 1.79 m (5 ft 10 in), the average weight was 50 kg (110 lb), with bust between 85 to 90 cm (33 to 35 in), waist under 62 cm (24 in), and hips under 90 cm (35 in), to fit the 34/36 size of haute couture prototypes. Average dimensions for a male model are a height of 1.80-1.88 m (5 ft 11 in-6 ft' 2 in) a weight of 64–75 kg (140–170 lb) and a chest measurement of 38–42 in (96.52–106.68 cm). Glamour photography emphasizes the model rather than products, fashion or environment. Typically the sexuality of the model is emphasized in glamour photography, while in fashion photography the emphasis is on the clothes. SUPERMODEL. Supermodels are highly paid, top fashion models. These (usually female) celebrities, also known as cover girls, appear on top fashion magazine covers, in catalogues and in fashion shows. FITNESS MODEL. Fitness modeling centers on displaying an athletic and healthy physique. Fitness models resemble bodybuilders, but with less emphasis on muscle size. Their body weight is usually similar to (or slightly heavier than) fashion models, but they have a lower body fat percentage due to increased muscle mass relative to fat mass. They are usually muscular. BIKINI MODELS. Bikini models are similar to fitness models with emphasis on a fit physique and the beauty of the female curves. Bikini models are usually curvaceous and fit. For women models, usually the models can be shorter- more around 5 ft 5 in-5 ft 8 in (1.65 m-1.73 m) and need to be about 100 lb (45 kg) or heavier. FINE ART MODELS. Photographers, painters, sculptors, and other artists hire models to pose for their art. ALTERNATIVE MODEL. An alternative model is any model that does not fit into the normal category. Punk, Goth, Fetish, Tattooed, or having a uniqueness outside other model types. These mix with high fashion and art models. BODY PART MODELS. Some modeling agencies have divisions which represent male and female models with particularly attractive body parts. For example, hand models may be used to promote nail care products, leg models are useful for showcasing tights, and wrist models are used to showcase watches or bracelets. Petite models or females who are under 5 ft 7 in (1.7 m) have found success through body part modeling. An example of a petite body part model is Isobella Jade.

| "WHY DO MODELS HAVE TO BE TALL ANYWAY?"
"WHY DO MODELS HAVE TO BE TALL ANYWAY?" Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping Every week many of the country's most beautiful women fill our halls hoping to get that golden contract that will change their lives. They are all very beautiful but unfortunately, they are not all MODELS. What makes a model? Beauty, height, size, skin, hair, great personality and the ability to take amazing pictures… Height is the only category that can't be faked. Makeup can cover blemishes, weaves can hide thin, short hair, weight can be gained or lost and beauty is subjective but height is purely biological. Most often, it is the only thing separating young girls from the life of their dreams. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked, "Why do you have to be tall anyway?" Let's explore two answers to that question… Legend has it that centuries ago in Rome and Paris Clothing designers favored tall girls because they could be seen from the back row of theaters. They preferred skinny girls with flat chests so that their "feminine parts" wouldn't distract men and women and most importantly BUYERS from the clothes. No designer wants big breasts and a JLo tush mesmerizing their audience as they try to show off the genius that is their collection! Women were expected to be walking HANGERS. Sharp broad shoulders to help the clothes fold and drape around their body and no "feminine parts" to distract. The idea was to see the clothing on a stick thin girl and imagine how beautiful the clothes would be on a more womanly body… Something like that... The second answer to that question is that designers today believe that clothes just look better on taller women. Think about it. If a beautiful 5'2" brunette walked in with a long red dress on and an equally as beautiful 5'11" brunette walked in with the same exact red dress there would be a dramatic difference between the two. The tall brunette has a long torso and long legs to show off the cut, the fabric and the drape where as the shorter girl is more compact and the dress would gather more. See the difference in the clothing between Linsay, Betsey and the model? Lindsay's dress seems baggy in the arms and droopy in the top, Betsey is short and the dress overwhelms her a bit and the model hangs it JUST RIIIIIIGHT! THE BLOGGING BOOKER Ps. The great thing about Ford is that there are print divisions for Shorter girls with amazing faces and a Plus division for more voluptuous girls with height to spare! They have it ALL baby!
