/fa/ - Fashion

tip #1:
>your mom telling you you could model doesn't mean you can model

hire a professional photographer to take some modelling shots of you

give to agencies

wait patiently for your dreams to be shattered

nto very hard bruv

>>8464835
I really wouldn't bother trying to impress anyone on an anonymous image board man, I've been told that by lots of different people and never really thought much of it until I got into fashion. Pic related is the main dude on ssense and we share the exact sake proportions except I'm a half inch taller which made me start to think about trying it out.

>>8464812
another talentless faggot thinking he can model because
>muhh height

Breh, you'd know if you had model features, not because "someone told you". You would just know. Anyways, I doubt there's anything you can do about it. Ciao.

>>8464943
What's wrong? How about you post a pic from yourself and then talk shit to me.

>>8464943
It ain't normcore enough.

>>8464899
You have no idea who I am or what I look like and you just sent a hate filled message full of assumptions at me using a trip code on an anonymous website. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself I guess.

>>8465006
Woher willst du das wissen? :^)

male model from London of 2years reporting in I was scouted in my hometown

1. don't ever pay for professional portfolio, take basic unstyled topless pictures and faceshots from every angle they want to see you as basic as possible.

2.if you live in a capital NYC.London Madrid .Paris just go into every agency. they'll give you the time of day and be straight with you.

3. be confident. its all about your personality as well

4. make sure you really really want to do it, its a savage industry which will eat you up if you're a pathetic little pussy

>>8464992
You could just tell people you didn't update to a smartphone in 2008 with everybody else. The nokia is like 15 years old now.

why the fuck would I be retarded enough to break anonymity especially when its my job

>>8465150
>he joins the ranks of all of /fa/'s models who wouldn't say their name

>>8465194
implying I give a fuck if some faggots on a message board believe me, Im just trying to give OP some help, my roommate is a model scout so if op posts a pic and is not a pussy

>>8465194
I'm pretty sure they aren't lying in that they modeled for their junior colleges fashion program. And that's why they won't actually prove it yet brag about it.

>>8465372
lol probably describes a great deal of us

fuck off your probably ugly as shit faggot

>>8465917
Calm down there bud it's gonna be ok

look up Tyler mcferson, he's a model who lurks here and posted about his career a few weeks ago

>>8466883
>Tyler mcferson
ugly as sin, no wonder he lurks

the pay for models is absolute shit unless you get like sponsored or some shit which is like super rare so dont do it OP

>>8466948
what about doing it on the side? i'm not gonna quit my job or anything

>>8466918
You sound like a jealous faggot, that kid is getting paid triple what you make to stand around and get pictures taken of him

>>8467046
Disgusting

tfw when i see these threads every day on /fa/
a real male model doesnt pursue it, if you have what it takes youre already one.
I got scouted 10 times in one summer and had the opportunity to pick and choose from the different agencies.
If you look like you could model you would have been scouted atleast once before you hit 20.
Honestly fellas its pretty sad that you pursue modelling this much

>>8464898
thats paul boche, real cool guy

>>8466948
not really, friend of mine got paid 10k usd just for a lookbook shoot for a medium sized brand, and hes only walked one season in paris

>>8468234
hey man i get what you're saying and all, but besides that there is also people that don't live in big cities where scouts are

>tfw been told that I could definitely be a model by couple of my friends
>it only makes me feel worse about myself cause they don't really know what it takes to become one
>tfw still think I'm ugly af
such is life

>tfw get told I could model semi-frequently
>anon just try, there's no harm in that
>tfw body dysmorphia out the ass and this makes it even worse

nb for personal blog nonsense

you have to be gay to be a model

>>8464957
can we stop acting like this guy is relevant from now on?

>>8464922
OP if this is you I don't think you'll make it.

Tyler McFerson's face gives me a theory

The wider set your eyes are, the bigger your lips need to be to look handsome, and vice versa

His eyes are miles apart and near-amanda-lepore-tier lips but it works

If you have closer set eyes and thinner lips, you'll look masculine, and it can be a good look if your bone structure fits
If you have closer set eyes and big lips, you'll look like a cross eyed twinkie fag like nash grier
If you have wide set eyes and big lips, congratulations, go get a modeling agent
If you have wide set eyes and thin lips, you'll look like a Mr. Bean caricature.

>>8464922
you are so 5/10 middle class kid from the midwest it hurts

>>8469087
Actually I think this has some credibility
I have what I think is medium set eyes and medium size lips, and it works

I'm a 6'3 male model draped in Ann demeualameester kek be jelus nerds

>>8469087
you're forgetting the nose

>>8469094
>responding to b8

>>8468398
>implying people thought I was "relevant" before hand.

>>8470542
Fuck off tripfag scum

Could I model If I am 5'11? I have a really attractive face and I'm only 160 lbs

>>8471215
lmao no fatty

>>8471215
you could try

keep in mind you would need to really stand out

in a modelling city, such as nyc for example there are tens of thousands of guys that are probably at least 6'2 and just as good looking as you, and theyre your competition.

Dont let it get you down though, modelling is stressful and pays shit, just use your looks to fug bitches

>>8464812
It looks like a five year old was photoshopped onto a goldfish and that was photoshopped over the face of a model.

>>8468234
Doutzen Kroes got denied by 10 agencies or something and she was just sending in pics to any crappy agency around. Some guys chase after it or enter contests, or live in small cities. What your saying is just wrong. I could do my routine weekly thing and never EVER meet a modeling scout due to where I live.

>>8471215
pls show face

5'11, White male, little bit of acne or 'red marks' left on my face and I'm working on my body.
Around 8 stone and I'm about to lower bf%.

I'm not particularly attractive and have a droopy left eyelid which fucking ruins everything.
Also here's my progress with acne.
It took 91 days to go from this...

>>8473657
To this.

What are my chances?
I'm trying to get clear and 'perfect' skin now, so I'm open to some products I should buy.

>>8473657
>>8473661
wrong thread
i hope

>>8473657
5'11" and 8 stone is gross

>>8473685
Lots of people said I have a feminine body, so there's that.

>>8473684
Afraid not.

>>8473697
post pics of your face

>>8473716
I don't think there's any hope, Anon, not with this shit.
I'm seeing someone about it in September, but I'm guessing they'll just say "if it doesn't effect your vision then x/y/z".

>>8473657
>>8473661
Surely this is a troll.

>>8473736
Yeah I'm baiting you.
Most models do in fact have acne.

>>8473737
Why don't you like most people, just wait for it to go naturally?

>>8473756
True, though some people like our boy Sam Hyde still have acne and he's in his mid twenties.

If I can't get the eye sorted am I completely fucked? Here's some ASOS model with a seemingly lazy eyelid.

>>8473767
This guy's 5'10" by the way.

>>8473767

Just accept it and build on it you stupid insecure dipshit. Nobody cares about your lazy eyelid. Absolutely nobody.

>>8464976
I think this guy could totally model

>>8464976
I think yes, you're handsome

>>8475653
>>8475667
He's already a model fuck me...

>starting a portfolio
dood just take shitty snapshots and send them to an agency if you have any potential whatsoever they will tell you regardless of how 'professional' you appear

just send shit to every single agency you can find

>>8476007
thanks man, I'm just gonna take a few portrait shots and full body shots and send em around I guess. what's the worst that can happen right?

>>8476136
no response at all. but you should be good man - it all comes down to just actually doing these things, and not stalling and stalling and constantly trying to improve your looks or get fitter as a way to avoid getting turned down. i sent in those pics in january, and today i get to go to paris for fashion week and meet designers. (protip: even so, i got turned down at 15 castings, so dont worry about getting rejected - it will happen but thats just how it is.)

>>8475672
People do this all the time, post pictures of actual models just to see /fa/'s autism flair when they see any minor flaw.

>>8476227
the people saying they are ugly are trolls to flair your autism

>>8464976
lies

Is 6'5 too tall to get into modelling?

>>8476007
>it's my dream to become a model
That's something a 10 year old borderline retarded little girl would say.

>>8476951
for most runways, yes.

>>8476007
that guy is ugly

I'm going to derail this thread (with no survivors) just for a bit.
What kind of glasses would fit my face? I like the look of these in pic related, but i'd like to have another opinion on those.

The reason i'm coming here to ask is because i don't trust professional opticians.

Is it possible to sort out a droopy eyelid? It makes certain angles really unappealing, but I think everything else might be fine.

>>8477517
no shit im ugly nigger
lachowski pls go

>>8477674
no offense bro but theres no way u can model

>>8477680
youre missing the point

>>8477706

>>8464976

I'm finna cop some stuff from clinique to sort my skin out, hopefully I can make it.

>>8477959
how old are you currently friend

Just send in pics by email or go to an open call with some pictures, that's all it takes really. You don't need a professional portfolio as a freshie.

>>8478038
18, there's still time, and it isn't even 'that' bad, just medium sized pores on the nose and some redness

why do you guys WANT to be a model?

it's a shit job and you don't get paid very much. I guess when you've worn h&m your whole life and you're that thirsty to try on designer clothing you'll do just about anything lol

My body..?

>>8477674

Wait question, what agency are you with anyways, I was out in NYC for some open calls recently and I forgot to bring my pics like an idiot, luckily most of the agencies didn't mind me too much and the only one that rejected me flat out was Red because they wanted guys 6'1" when I was there, it's funny since I'm 5'11.5. Still waiting for a call back from VNY, who liked me when I was there, Major and Request told me to come back later with pictures, but other than that they said I had a good look, and Aim gave me a card back and they told me to think about it. But I just want to see more options since there may be some smaller ones that I can easily get into, pretty eager about getting into the industry since plenty of my friends are already models and it'd be pretty sweet to travel around the world with them for the job.

>>8478320

Yes, they do pay like shit at first from what my friends have told me, but honestly, I just want to do it for the travel and because it's something different. Hell I even hear they pay you in clothes, but it doesn't really matter to me since I'm already in college doing other things anyways. Plus it gives me more opportunities for photography stuff.

>>8478331
Do fashion agencies ever look for someone of my build or only skellys

>>8478331
Looks decent, calisthenics?

>>8478320
Being a model is /fa/ put simply, if you're interested in fashion why wouldn't you want to model?
You could end up modelling for your favourite designer one day, I'm sure models for Raf or Ann D get payed fuck loads, you won't start there but it's worth the shot.

It's a good way to become 'popular' as well.

>>8478355
post your dick you faggot or stop posting

>>8478355
Most of the time they tend to go for skinny bodies with low bf%, just enough to show ab definition.
Pic attached but a little more defined is a good guide.

>>8478365
Y-you have to compliment me first

I know I have the stats face etc etc for modelling and I live in LA but the only problem is I have some pretty unaesthetic scarring on my chest

are these type of things dealbreakers or will they not care too much as long as i'm not doing anything shirtless?

>>8478377
Post a picture of your face, you can block out your eyes if you want.
Depends on how bad the scarring is though, if it looks like Wolverine just slashed you then it might be a problem.

>>8478364
>Being a model is /fa/ put simply, if you're interested in fashion why wouldn't you want to model?
because I'm interested in the clothing not the people? If you are interested in fashion why wouldn't you want to be a designer?

the other guy brought up a good point of travelling and photography and shit but your post is pretty weak

>>8478385
i'm confident I am good-looking enough facially I have been asked on the street if I had been interested in modeling but I didn't want to; I wasn't into fashion at the time and I was with my friends when some lady asked me I didn't want my friends to think I was a fag lol stupid in retrospect I know.

And the scarring is just on my nipple. The scar isn't too noticeable now because I have hair on my chest but you can see that my nipples are asymmetical. Maybe I can just model for Rick Owens?

>>8478342
It's also the job with the greatest sense of reward from the least amount of work. If you're lucky enough to be streetcast, you don't even need to worry too much about a portfolio n shit and things just pretty much just fall into place for you.
I'd love to be on the runways for a few shows or something but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it. Plenty of the lesser-known career models with agents just have that stereotypical affected, jaded, too-good-for-you "i just wanna smoke cigs and have pictures taken of me all day" personality and their life is contingent upon what kind of deals their agents can get for them. it's kind of pathetic.

>>8477539
>>8477781
Not sure why no one replied. I don't look like a gr8 b8 m8, don't I?

>>8479471
fuck off troll

I'm a model, been doing it for about 6 months, just send in pictures everywhere with your proportions as long as you look somewhat unique someone's bound to use you

>>8471215
>only 160 lbs
>only

>>8481460
How much does it pay on average?

>>8477680
HAHAHAH YOU JUST GOT FUCKED

You're never gonna make it if you are over 18 and have never been approached by an agency

>>8477706
is that him/you?

>>8482483
No you idiot
