Over the last few years the term “size zero”

By: Davis Morris

Over the last few years the term “size zero” has entered the language as the debate has raged between doctors, modelling agencies and fashion editors about what size a model should be.

Models are supposed to be painfully thin and gaunt, right? No, actually, just like real people they come in all shapes and sizes. Of course, if you’re over weight you’re only likely to find work as a character model fulfilling certain requirements but even models who have curves and the shapes that other women have can still find work as models.

Women who look after themselves and take regular exercise will always find work. Sophie Dahl is example of the larger models who have been very successful recently. At this year’s London Fashion Week size models who take larger sized clothes were on the catwalk and very well received.

No respectable model agency would put pressure on a young girl to lose weight, the welfare of their models is too important. Signing up with the right modelling agency which can find someone of your size and shape work is essential but anyone will tell you, healthy looking women are more likely to be popular than skeletal figures.

And it’s not just women who need to think about this aspect of the world of models. There is increasing pressure on men to be fit and muscular. Some male models have six pack stomachs and biceps that could crack walnuts – but not that many. A very muscular man might be right for some editorial shots and the covers of underwear boxes but he will not look good in clothes, especially formal clothes such as shirts and suits.

Extremes in either direction not only look unappealing to the public but they won’t help you get modelling work.
