Answer 1

I started Modeling at the age of 16. I was stopped in a local department store by the top agency in the area where I lived. I took Professional and Advanced Professional Modeling courses (taught by Industry Professionals) The agency handled the majority of the shows we were booked for.



After that phase of working in Fashion, I began to manage local clothing stores in the area malls. As a Store Manager, I put on a number of fashion shows. For Models for those shows I decided to approach customers I liked. Those who had personality and confidence. Because I had been a model myself, I taught my models how to walk, pivot, etc.



Fashion Shows are really a lot of work for not much return when you are talking about shows being held in a regular, non-fashion capital area (eg. Your local malls or shopping centers). But, its a great place to start. You'll find out if crowds turn your legs to jello, or if you have a look that speaks to the camera for print work.



If there is no reputable agency in your area, I'd suggest stopping in to a few of your favorite stores and asking the manager the following questions: Does your store do fashion shows? Do you handle the arrangements? You may find that the large chains have someone else do that type of work, if they bother with it at all. With that in mind, why not ask the locally owned clothing stores, or smaller scale, regional chains. These stores often are asked by local groups and organizations to help with fund raisers by putting on fashion shows.



A SERIOUS WORD OF WARNING!!! A reputable agency will demand that your parents be with you during all meetings. They will never try to convince you to take pictures that you are not comfortable with.



My mother and step-father came to every meeting, and every photo shoot. I made the decision not to take swimsuit photos for my portfolio.



When I was on the recruiting side for my own shows, I always spoke to the parents of any of my under 18 models. I made sure they knew exactly what type of shows we would do.



Basics, like immaculate hair and skin care are needed. Modeling is brutal.



I hope this helped.

Answer 2

First off, you wouldn't interview at the store - marketing goes through the corporate headquarters so the models usually travel to that area or live in that area when they model. Build a book and get an agent but, yeah, she's lying to you.

Answer 3

you should search local modeling schools to take classes cuz theres a lot more than looking pretty on the runway and in pics. theres a lot of things that a model needs to know while on the runway or taking pics its kinda hard to just jump into an audition and get a call back because the agents know what they are looking for and they know what a model should and should not be doing. look for a barbizon or a creative talent by you or in the back of seventeen magazine they have a few modeling places (barbizon is one of them)

Answer 4

yeah no offence but your friend is lieing you have to work in the store to be a model like 16-17 for abercrombie kids and 19-20 for a&f

Answer 5

Haha. First of all, Abercrombie & Fitch models are all 18 and older. Abercrombie KIDS models are all 16 and older. xDD

Answer 6

Ha, ask her for a picture.



Of course she doesnt model there, shes way too young.

(if shes your age, that is)

Answer 7

She's lying to you.

You need to tell her to stop embarrassing herself.

Answer 8

call them or send in a pic or s.t
