What are the basic requirements for a male fashion model?

A male fashion model performs and displays clothes designed by designers on stage, so what are the requirements for becoming a male fashion model? The following is what I want to do I hope the basic requirements for male fashion models shared by you will be helpful to everyone.

Basic requirements

Height

The unified height for international fashion models to participate in performances is 1.86m. If the height does not meet the scheduled performance, The number of people can fluctuate up or down by 2 to 4cm in height. Therefore, men with a height between 1.82 and 1.92m are within the standard.

Measurements

Measurements refer to bust, waist and hip circumference. The ideal measurements are chest circumference 103cm, waist circumference 76-83cm, hip circumference 96cm, and for men, shoulder width should be added. The shoulder width length is 52cm-55cm. In France, DIOR’s male models are obviously on the thin side. Their models are not normal models, they are looking for thin ones. Based on the ethnic characteristics of our country, the standard body measurements are generally bust 100cm, waist 76cm, hip 94cm, and shoulder width 52cm. Male models want to have a good figure. In recent years, they have big muscles and obvious lines.

Appearance

The appearance standard of fashion models is not simply whether they are handsome or not, but mainly whether they have a three-dimensional sense or personality characteristics. When selecting a model, experts not only look at their appearance, but also consider the effect of their makeup, and at the same time observe whether their personality is qualified for the modeling job based on their speech, behavior and facial features. In our country, boys with advantageous looks have more opportunities. Although appearance is not as prominent as body, it is also a very important image factor. The ideal head shape for models is oval, and the face should not be wide, but can be slightly longer. Good facial features are the minimum requirement. You don’t have to be very beautiful, as long as you have personality, you can still stand out.

Body shape

Height is the most basic condition for a model. The height of male models is generally between 1.85 and 1.95 meters, the bust is 86~90 cm, the waist is 63~78 cm, and the weight is between 70 and 80 kg. Harmonious body proportions are an important physiological basis for models. For models who embody the beauty of human body form, when judging whether their body shapes are harmonious, we can use the "golden section law" as a reference. Regarding the model's body proportions, we can analyze it from the following aspects.

1. The ratio of upper and lower body-the requirement for models is that the lower body is longer than the upper body.

2. The ratio of the calf to the thigh - the ratio of the calf to the thigh is close to the same or slightly longer than the thigh.

3. Face-to-body ratio - the face length is preferably 1/9 of the body length. A smaller face will make the figure appear more agile.

4. The bones develop normally and the joints do not appear thick and protruding. Shoulders are symmetrical, wider in men. The spine is vertical when viewed from the front, and the curvature is normal when viewed from the side. The chest is swollen and slightly V-shaped at the front and back.

5. The muscles are evenly developed and the subcutaneous fat is appropriate. Men have looming abdominal muscles, flat abdomen, long legs, soft thigh lines, prominent calf muscles, long Achilles tendon, thin ankles, and high arches.

Temperament

An excellent model often has a unique temperament. It includes people's posture, expression, demeanor, speech and behavior, etc. As a model, it is not enough to have a good figure and facial features. Only with a good temperament can you create wonderful fashion clothes. Therefore, it is very important for models to always pay attention to their inner cultivation and appearance.

Proportions

There are two proportions: the first is the ratio of the face to the whole body.

The normal ratio between the body and the face of an average person is that the face is one-ninth of the body. The proportion of the model should be such that the head is smaller than the normal proportion. If it is greater than one-ninth, other conditions must be balanced. The second is---the ratio of the length of the upper body to the lower body. The dividing line between the upper and lower body is the sacrum. The upper body is from the top of the head to the sacrum, and the lower body is from the sacrum to the soles of the feet. In recent years, the height ratio of men in our country has become more and more prominent. It is better if the lower body is longer than the upper body. The longer the legs, the better the condition. There is a second method of measurement. The upper body is measured from the Dazhui point to the hip line, and the lower body is measured from the hip line to the ankle bone. This measurement method is more beneficial to clothing designers. They can directly think of the clothing number, but it is difficult for other customers to imagine the body condition from the size. Therefore, both methods of measurement are required, and only the difference is given in the name of the proportion.

Leg shape

Leg shape is very important for fashion models. In interviews, people often fail to be selected due to poor leg shape. The model's legs should be of uniform thickness, with a straight midline and strong calves. The thighs are too thick, the calves are large, or the outer or inner arcs of the midline of the legs are not ideal.

Face shape

The model’s face shape is preferably an oval face, an oval face, or a rectangular face. Other face shapes should be selected according to other conditions, and compensation should be made in makeup and hairstyle.

Skin

The roughness, fineness and color of the model’s skin are directly related to the opportunity to use it. If your skin is good, you will have more opportunities and a wider range of adaptation. Aesthetic acne or rough skin can affect your chances. Even those with good skin should pay special attention to protection. Because models wear a lot of professional makeup and have irregular daily routines, if they want to maintain the beauty of their skin, they must pay special attention to controlling their intake of tobacco, alcohol, sugar and spicy foods.

Hand Shape

It is also common to use hands to make advertisements for jewelry and computers. The requirements for good hand shape are that the fingers are slender and slender, the joints should not be thick, the nails are finely trimmed, and the skin is delicate and elastic. ;
