This document discusses modeling schools and careers in fashion. It describes how modeling schools teach students about fashion, acting, and conveying attitude. They also help students understand fashion design. The document outlines requirements to be a model such as certain height and body measurements that vary by gender. It distinguishes between catwalk/runway models who demonstrate designer clothing on the runway and photo models who pose for photos. The authors believe modeling schools have an important role in preparing young people for modeling careers but that models should not be too thin, especially those doing catwalk work, and that modeling involves hard work beyond what most people see.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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:

6. 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.

7. Some runway models:
Gisele Bundchen
Alessandra Ambrosio
Adriana Lima
Bruna Tenorio

8. • 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.

9. 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.
