When are you Curvy?

Let’s start with the most general question, when is one a Curvy Model?

Explained very basically, there are 3 areas if you go purely by the measurements of a model:

1. High fashion and haute couture – usually tall and very thin.
2. Commercial – relatively slim models
3. Curvy Models

Very important, the transitions between the model areas are fluid. Of course, there are also curvy models who work for clients in high fashion, but there are also typical high fashion models who do jobs in advertising, for example, when they drive for a commercial in a new car model on a highway.

What is the dress size of a Curvy Model?

Curvy Models represent the average woman and the average man. Mehr dazu: CM Models The clothing size here is between 42, 44 and 46. We deliberately do not call Curvy Models Plus Size Model. As described, Curvy Models represent the normal average of women and men.

Hayley Hasselhoff, Curvy Model at CM:

How do you become a Curvy Model?

Here come the classic factors for models:

• Beautiful, respectively interesting appearance
• Positive character and charisma
• Healthy lifestyle

And especially important, as always, is a smile! Just laughing brings a model, whether Curvy Model or high fashion, further. After all, it’s also about sympathy in model castings and jobs. Believe me, looks aren’t everything! As you have seen in our checklist for Curvy Models, only one point deals with the appearance. Otherwise, it’s all about positive character and charisma on the one hand, healthy lifestyle on the other, and as I said, the extra tip, a friendly smile.

How tall is a Curvy Model?

When it comes to body size, it’s similar to high fashion models: of course there is an ideal for women and for men, but there are also deviations. Ideal means here that a large part of the jobs is designed for these body sizes, for example because test pieces were tailored exactly to these dimensions. Accordingly, model agencies usually have about 70%-80% models who are rather taller. But that still leaves 20%-30%!

So if you want to become a Curvy Model, your height only plays a role in the second rank. Here we can directly refer to the checklist for Curvy Models: Charisma and personality, are absolutely in the foreground!

• How do you become a model?
• What does it take to become a model?
• Can anyone become a model?
• What skills do you need to be a model?

Becoming a model and becoming a curvy model means above all being reliable. Especially at the beginning of your modeling career, your model management looks very closely to see if they can trust you. Why? Model agencies live mainly on their reputation (brand rating). A simple example: an international brand is planning a photo shoot for a new advertising campaign. On production day, many people are on site, the studio, the outfits, the advertising agency and much more have already been paid for. Now there is only one person that matters, the model.

Simply put, if your modeling agency sees that they can count on you, that’s half the battle. In addition to trust, this includes other classic qualities, for example punctuality.

You also need to create the possible spaces for yourself. Again, to give a simple example, if you sign up for a time-intensive medical degree after school, you won’t have time to model. Why? Specifically, the years until you’re about 24 are used to build you up. When you finish school at about 18, then it’s time to go out into the world! The first time in Milan for a few weeks, then you go to Paris. After the summer is over, you might start right away in Milan again and then it’s on to London. The better you get, the more your agency trusts you, the further you can go. Then cities like Tokyo, Cape Town or New York and Los Angeles will be open to you.

In order for you to make it this far, your model management needs to build confidence in you. Many live the dream of becoming a curvy model. Photo shoots, video productions, social media shoots, fashion shows and eventually lots of travel. The competition is fierce, for many it is an absolute dream job.

Anusha, New Face at CM Models:

Application in the model agency

On most frequently asked:

What do I have to do to become a model?

Ask yourself the question a little differently, how do I apply to a modeling agency? Of course, you can also wait to be discovered as a model, here’s a little reminder: you become your own entrepreneur, so try to become self-employed and apply in a modeling agency! The step is super simple, at the same time it is also the most effective.

Modeling agencies scout new models on Instagram or TikTok and other social networks, of course, but applying directly to the modeling agency is still the best way to be discovered.

What do you need for the application in a model agency? The answer is also relatively simple, because you usually only need two or three simple photos (taken with a smartphone) and a few details about yourself, i.e. contact details and measurements.

It’s that simple! Good and reputable model agencies will usually answer you within 48, maybe 72 hours. Sometimes it can take a bit longer, because some good agencies are not big and are often run by only one or two people. But if you don’t hear back after seven days or less, it will probably be a rejection. You should be able to deal with that too! Look for possible alternatives and don’t give up immediately!

This brings you to one of the most important lessons for Curvy Models and for models in general. Don’t give up right away! You will also go to different castings later and not get every job.

Here is a small but very, very important tip

If a good modeling agency believes in you, you have the chances. Your model agency can only suggest you but they can open the doors for you. The customers will always decide in the end. The fact that a good model agency believes in you shows you that you can make it. You have the prerequisites that are needed at first sight, now it depends on you. How do you act at shoots and castings? How do you talk to clients? How quickly do you get through individual outfits (usually up to 20 outfits are photographed per day)?

Last but not least, we come to one of the very most important questions that very many young models ask:

How can I be discovered as a model by brands?

How can I become a model for H&M, Zara & Co. Actually, there is only one way: Through a good and international model agency. To explain it simply: Especially high-end clients with high demand, like H&M, Zara, but also Victoria Secret, naturally make sure that they have as little effort as possible. That means few agencies, few contacts, little organizational effort. Sometimes brands look for new talent through other channels, for example Instagram or TikTok, as well as model scouts. But 98% of the work in marketing and advertising is then focused back on working with models from agencies. Why? As you learned before, it’s all about trust. What happens if a model doesn’t show up? What happens if the measurements deviate from the given measurements (often by 2, 3 cm)? Clients don’t want to take risks, so they only work with good, very reputable agencies where they have as little risk as possible.

Become a Model: Photo Portfolio, Castings and Jobs

After the model agency application, it really goes into the work! The very first appointment that comes up is the first agency visit and the introduction in your model agency.

Introduction in the model agency

First of all there is the agency appointment. If your model application has found favor with the bookers of the agency, then you get an appointment. Either for a video call or for a live GoSee at the agency.

This appointment usually lasts 30 minutes, maximum one hour. Here you get to know the agency and the agency gets to know you. But, don’t worry, time is money! Accordingly, only those applicants are invited who really have great potential. Therefore again the absolute secret tip: smile! Even if you are absolutely shy, which is absolutely okay, try to go into this appointment with a positive attitude.

In principle, the appointment consists of these three points:

1. Presentation of a model agency
2. You introduce yourself
3. First quick photos and videos(Polaroids)

Whether you are finally accepted in the model agency or not, that is, whether you get a model contract as a Curvy Model or not, you will then find out relatively quickly. Usually within 48 hours. If you made it, congratulations, now you have your modeling contract in your hands! If you haven’t made it yet, try a second or third agency. After all, you have already made it to an invitation in a model agency.

Once you’re in a good, big modeling agency, it’s straight to building your photo and video portfolio.

Photo and Video Portfolio Building: Photographers and Jobs

To build a good photo and video portfolio, you need two things. One is photo shoots with photographers, so-called tests. In tests, photographers try out new techniques, ideas or even equipment. For this you need a model. Both work for their portfolio, so to speak, and accordingly you have great footage afterwards that can be used for your portfolio.

After that come the first jobs. Here you will also collect great footage that you can use for your own photo portfolio.

Castings and job

As of this moment, you’ve already come a long way as a Curvy Model. You had the dream, you decided at some point to send an application to a model agency. You had your invitation, the introduction in your model agency, your first photo shoots.

The better your portfolio is compared to other models, the more invitations you will get for castings and jobs. Now it depends on you! Your agency can only open the doors for you, the performance, especially in photo shoots, fashion shows and also in the production of promotional videos is in your hands.

If you have already made your decision, we are very happy about your application! As already explained in the question, two or three photos with your mobile phone and a few information about you are enough.

FIV: Thanks for all the tips, for young curvy models!

The Fabricant?

Yesterday I spoke with a creative manager of a major sneaker brand. I talked briefly about the interview we just did on the topic of VR (Virtual Avatars: Creator Interview). That same evening were the About You Awards. On the red carpet: Bill Kaulitz and Noonoouri, one of the most successful virtual influencers.

This brought us to new trends and hypes. He (Creative Arts, sneaker brand) made me aware of this Dutch company:

The Fabricant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQyX369RZ90

The Creator about himself

Their mission is to “lead the fashion industry towards a new sector”. In doing so, they focus on pure, digital clothing. Fashion that wastes nothing but data and uses imagination instead of expensive resources.

Through this digital clothing, “The Fabricant”, by its own admission, returns to the heart of what fashion has always been and what it should be:

“A playful arena to explore and express our identities and individuality.”

The future of fashion is “collaborative, creative, inclusive and sustainable. In pure digital fashion, people are not passive consumers, but creative actors who shape their self-expression and curate their virtual identity through digital clothing, without the negative footprint.”

All that’s missing now is the right app to create your own virtual avatars.

Years of development

The first fashion pieces were already animated in 2016.

Puma FW21 / The Fabricant – Video

Today they work with brands like Puma on new ideas for the fashion world. Puma x CSM FW21 collection in collaboration with The Fabricant. The video would only be extremely costly to produce without VR. So no garment would ever be touched and no video team had to fly around the world.

Napapijri SS21 / The Fabricant – Video

Also with Napapijri new has emerged. The Italian streetwear brand Napapijri also wanted to create a purely digital video of the brand. This is how in-store shoppers get inspired during the sales pitch. “The Fabricant” digitized several key looks and individual garments for a variety of channels.

Kerry Murphy of The Fabricant: Fashiontech

Kerry Murphy of “The Fabricant” talks about digital fashion for virtual identities during #FASHIONTECH Berlin, already in July 2019, at Festsaal Kreuzberg.

The real and the virtual world are merging more and more, like here at the making-of of the first photo shoot of Shudu, today one of the biggest virtual models.

Modeling in Milan? Application & Test Shooting

Super fast…. Apply, good shoots, good photographers, quality of quanitity. Patience, confidence…

However, to move to Milan you need certain skills. This chance is often unique and hard-fought, because the places are limited. We talked to Klara, a model from Cologne who has already modeled in Milan. She told us something about the application process, her career and her stay in Milan.

Application process & first experiences

Klara has been told before that she should model. She applied online via the website, sent in pictures and was then invited. She was able to convince the bookers and after one month at the agency she already had her first shooting. Together with the photographer Oliver Rudolph she has now shot her first pictures for her model book. Mehr dazu: CM Models

Milan: Model agency, castings & everyday life

In September 2019, the young model traveled to Milan. This was her first trip alone and therefore she was very excited. However, she revealed that the positive feelings clearly outweigh with her. Of course, she first had to find her way around a bit after landing. Klara just let everything come to her in Milan.

“Milan was an incredible experience”

Model agency in Milan: the first meeting

From the airport she makes her way alone to her agency. With suitcases she made herself first something familiar with the city and arrived at the agency she met her booker. First they should get to know each other and Klara got her keys to the apartment. She also got her model book, which was filled with pictures she had taken in Germany before. Klara describes the team as very friendly and warm.

And it started as soon as she had a day’s rest. She shot Polaroids for clients and had a strict schedule with many castings thanks to Fashion Week. Armed with her model book and sedcart, she ran from casting to casting and had to quickly find her way around the fashion metropolis.

• Key for the Model WG
• Handover of the model book
• Shooting Polaroids for clients

Milan from above: Video

Castings in Milano: How does it work?

The young model had not attended any castings in Germany, because here it is more common to be booked via direct booking. In Milan, however, she received several mails with adresses every day and went to hundreds of castings. There she usually found a long queue of pretty girls, whom she often saw again at other castings.

At these castings Klara tells that she often had to wait a long time. When it was finally her turn, it always went differently. But every time she had to hand in her model book and her setcard. At some castings she also had to walk, sometimes she was asked a few questions and if it went really well, she was even allowed to try on clothes.

• Long queue
• Many pretty girls
• Hand in model book and setcard
• Run
• Answer questions
• Try on clothes

Everyday life in Milan: Gym, Castings & Model WG

I also asked Klara about her everyday life in Milan. She told me that her days were always different and varied, but usually had the same structure. After getting up, she would first have breakfast and then get ready.

Either in the morning or in the evening she made her way to the gym. Every day she had a list of castings she had to attend and in the evening she spent time with her roommates. Sometimes they cooked together, sometimes they just let the evening end together.

1. Breakfast
2. Get ready
3. Gym
4. Castings
5. Cooking with roommates

Find out how models do their makeup for everyday life in this video. Here you will find many tips for the effortless look.

Fashion shows, castings and requirements

Klara also told me about her first experience at a fashion show. Behind a fashion show is of course a lot of work. Before a fashion show there is a casting, followed by a fitting where the models can try on the clothes. Klara reveals that she herself didn’t realize what was in store for her until she sat in the make-up.

While she was standing in line she was very excited but when she took her first step on the catwalk all the excitement just fell off her. Her mind went blank and she just focused on the show. She compares this excitement with a presentation in school, before it is always worse than once you have started.

Milan requirements: measurements, bust and size

The requirements are not very different from the requirements in Germany. Of course, catwalk models are expected to be different than commercial models. The measurements can vary, but Klara confirms that the ideal measurements for a catwalk model are 90-60-90. The bust size is the least important thing. For commercials, measurements and height are not that important, but as a runway model you should be between 1.75m and 1.80m tall. 1.78m is the ideal height for a model.

• Dimensions: 90-60-90
• Breast is not so important
• Size: 1.75-1.80m
• Dimensions and size are not so important for commercials

In this video you see how to take your measurements correctly. Important is chest, waist, hips and torso.

Plans for the future – London & Paris

Klara hopefully has a great career ahead of her, so I asked her what her next goals are. She told me that her dream is to model in London. Of course Paris would also be a great option, but the charm of London captivated her more.

3 Tips for Model Beginners

I also asked Klara for tips for girls and guys who want to become a model. First of all it is important to find an agency where you feel comfortable. Klara thinks it’s important not to compare myself with others and not to take rejections personally. This job is based on appearance and if you are not booked, it is often because the type is not wanted. If a blonde is wanted, then a brunette is rejected.

1. Find a good agency
2. Do not compare yourself with others
3. Do not take rejections personally

Model Coaching Backstage + Interview Video

Here, models from CM Models train for Fashion Weeks in Paris, London, Milan, Shanghai and New York.

This coaching took place on a smaller scale. But since the GNTM castings are starting again soon, we really wanted to give you an insight into the modeling world, with interview, Q&A for you! What are the requirements for models? What is important in the job? In the interview Lutz Marquart gives tips.

Male model Fabian Arnold as guest: Interview about LA

Before the model coaching, a small photo shoot for the agency took place. Among others, male model and Instagrammer, Fabian Arnold, who we have already interviewed for our magazine. What has changed with him? On the Youtube Channel of CM Models there are updates from Fabian and Los Angeles.

Internship at a model agency – my experiences at CM Models

My first own article in a fashion magazine – #day 1

When I arrived at the office of CM Models on my first day, the employees were in the middle of a meeting, which was actually pretty cool, because it gave you a glimpse of what happens every day in a model agency. Afterwards I was shown the agency and got to know the employees a little bit. Shortly thereafter I started my first article. I hadn’t had any experience in this area before and therefore the beginning was a bit difficult. My first article was about shoes online shopping: Trends for women and men. At first I didn’t know at all what to write about it, because of course you want to write the perfect article, but you just have to write on it and then it works all by itself. The first day was really fast and I was very satisfied. The employees are all super nice and relaxed.

One article after the other – #day 2

On my second day the article writing worked much better already. I got a list to work through with specific topics for articles and wrote one article after the other. Most articles were about shoes, knitting baby shoes, fighting shoe problems, DIY’s how to conjure something nice out of old shoes and many more articles. Much more didn’t happen on that day, but it was still a lot of fun and the second day went by like a flash.

Shopping is work? In a model agency that’s part of it – #day 3

“Want to go shopping with me later?” When this question came, I thought it was a joke at first, so my reaction wasn’t very joyful because I wondered what exactly it meant. But what was meant was exactly what was said. On that day Dilara and I were shopping for a shooting, which was the next day. It was about shoes and we had to find out suitable outfits for the shoes, so that they could be set perfectly in scene. What a great task!

The first time behind the scenes of a shooting – #day 4 and 5

On my fourth and fifth day I was allowed to look behind the scenes of a shooting and also got to know a model from the agency personally for the first time and the models are absolutely not as one imagines them to be. The model was super sweet, cheerful and just had fun at work. There was no bitchiness or superficiality. We went out with packed backpacks in which the outfits and shoes were carefully stowed and looked for a suitable spot. We went to a cinema because there were big windows with lots of light and great locations to shoot. Unfortunately it was quite rainy and cold that day, so we couldn’t shoot outside. But despite all that, it was very interesting to take a look behind the scenes of a professional photo shoot.

Festival articles and the best fashion magazines – #day 6

These were by far my favourite articles. After my first week, it really started again and I was allowed to write an article about festivallooks and one about the biggest fashion magazines from New York and those were also the two articles I had the most fun with. I looked for some inspiration on the perfect festival locomotives on Instagram and read through thousands of fashion magazines. The best job in the world, I’d say.

Meeting with Yulianna – #day 7

My tasks in the two weeks of course did not consist of writing articles every day. I was also supposed to take as much insight as I could from the two weeks, so I was able to attend a meeting with Yulianna Yussef on my seventh day. CM Models does not only work with models, but also with some influencers like Yulianna Yussef. It was very exciting to sit at such a meeting and simply listen to each other’s expectations and what the future cooperation will look like. And Yulianna’s dog was simply sugary, so the day is sweetened once more.  The rest of the day I continued writing my articles from the day before and started writing more articles.

Write categories, what does that mean? – #day 8

Such a fashion magazine does not write itself of course. On day number eight, I wrote short texts for the individual categories of the website, which describe and summarize the categories. I was busy with that for a few hours. On such a web page of a fashion magazine there are really some categories and for each there is a co-ordinated text. In the meantime, one of the trainees always came and looked at my texts and it’s a bit funny what spelling mistakes you make if you just concentrate on fast writing.

Shootings with Luisa and Yulianna – #day 9

On day nine I took part in further shootings, this time in a real photo studio. First Luisa had her shooting. She is under contract as a model with CM Models. She got her make-up and hair done and then it started. The shooting was for her portfolio. There were shots taken of her face and every single one of these pictures was simply beautiful. I just observed what was happening and let it affect me. The mood was very relaxed, everyone had fun and laughed a lot. Later Yulianna came for her shooting. She shot dreamlike pictures of her body. The day was quite exciting and thrilling, I think almost one of my favorite days, because you have once seen how a real fashion shooting takes place. While the models were being styled, I also had one or two conversations with the photographer. He was super sweet and answered all my questions, so I learned a lot about the model agency and also about the life of a photographer. It was really interesting to hear how the photographer got into photography and how far he made it. He definitely found his dream job. And also during the conversations between the model and the photographer or the stylist you could catch a lot of interesting things. From Germany via Cape Town to London everything is there and for the model a dream probably comes true. There you almost get a bit jealous of what she experiences.

My last day – #day 10

On my last day I wrote this article and in between I was there when the model applications were looked at. It was very interesting to see what the model selection is about and what criteria they have to meet. It is not always important that the models are beautiful or thin, but there are many other factors that make a model.

My Conclusion

The internship was a lot of fun and hardly felt like work. I was able to incorporate my passion for fashion, instagram and the like into my work on a daily basis, did instastories and read a lot about the latest trends, clicked my way through cool looks at Instagram and was also able to incorporate my own favourites. Every day was very varied and I was allowed to look into many areas. I also got to know some cool people, from models and photographers to employees and so on. I have to say that you also have to be made to sit at the desk a lot. I always thought before that this wasn’t my thing at all, but it was a lot of fun and the time passed by every day. I’ve never been bored and every now and then you still move around when you come along to shootings or go shopping. I can recommend to everyone who wants to take a look behind the scenes to do such an internship. At first I also thought that I wouldn’t get a internship for two weeks anyway, but CM Models made it possible for me and I thought it was really cool. Thanks a lot!

Checklist for Models – What is important for a Shooting

Before a shooting you should allow yourself enough rest and sleep. Even the most experienced makeup artist is at the end with his skills when fatigue and a drunken night stick in your face. Even if it’s a very simple and self-evident hint, you should take this tip seriously and put it on top of your agenda as a professional model. The second important point is punctuality. Even if some photographers like to wait and be late for an agreed date, you should radiate professionalism and arrive punctually at the agreed location.

Unpunctual or unreliable models will not be gladly booked, because time is money after all and a team waiting for you in idle mode causes costs. Your accessibility is an important expression of the seriousness with which you look at your job and work in the model business. On the day before the planned shooting, or also on the shooting day itself it can come to unforeseeable changes and thus to a communication to you.

As an experienced model, you always have your phone at hand and respond to a call, an SMS, or a message in real time. At a shooting you appear unvarnished and even if it seems unusual to you: with unwashed hair. The Makeup Artist can make up and style you better if you stick to these rules and save so much time in the preparation for a shooting. There is nothing against washing your hair the day before, but freshly washed hair is practically impossible to style without numerous styling products and chemical ingredients.

Various outfits and colors for varied photos

All other Must Haves depend on the agreements of your Shootings and should consist in each case of a varied wardrobe. This includes different lingerie in at best different colors, bra’s without straps and shoulderless tops, as well as pumps and other high shoes in different designs. The best thing to do is to rely on shoes and tops that you can combine individually and exchange with each other.

Accessories for your Model Casting

You are also welcome to bring accessories for your hair, such as hair bands and hair clips, as well as your own make-up to the shoot. The goal of a successful shooting, which will provide joy for you and the photographer alike, are great final results, which present you in many perspectives and capture your most beautiful, extraordinary and personal perspectives. Accordingly, it is important that you feel comfortable in the chosen outfits and can pose flexibly. To avoid misunderstandings during a shooting, you should clarify the style of the pictures in advance and discuss, for example, whether you should pose for fashion, for lingerie, for a partial act, or even for an act. Only what corresponds to you and can be combined with your attitude to photography is allowed and becomes part of a professional shooting.

Very important: as a model you must not only bring plenty of utensils with you, but also make sure you are in a good mood and have fun on the set. The best atmosphere and the desire to work are therefore two extremely important things that you should have in your luggage for every shooting and present on site. If you’re not feeling well, you better cancel an appointment and ask for a postponement. Nothing is more counterproductive to great photos than a model who feels unwell at the shooting or is even ill.
