Standards for male models

To become a male model, height alone is not enough. In addition to hardware, you must also have other comprehensive qualities. Taken together, there should be several conditions such as body shape, appearance, temperament, cultural foundation, professional feeling, and presentation ability. The first is body shape. The height of male models is generally between 1.80 and 1.90 meters, the chest 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 are the showcases of the beauty of human body form, the golden section law can be used as a reference when judging whether our body shapes are harmonious.

Regarding the model’s body proportions, it can probably be analyzed from the following aspects.

1. Upper and lower body proportions? The requirement for models is that the lower body is longer than the upper body.

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

3. Head-to-body ratio? The ideal head length is 1/7~1/8 of the body length. A smaller head will make the body appear more agile.

The second is appearance and temperament. For T-stage models, although appearance is not as prominent as body, it is also a very important external factor. For us, the ideal head shape is oval, and the face should not be wide, but can be slightly longer. Good facial features are the minimum requirement. They don’t have to be very beautiful. As long as you have personality, you can still stand out. 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.

Cultural foundation is indispensable. A model with a cultural foundation has various unique ways of performing different clothing styles, which makes it easier to form his or her own personality and develop professionally. In fact, a lot of cultural knowledge is closely related to model performance. For example, music knowledge, dance knowledge, costume design, photography art, stage lighting, etc. are all things that those who work in the modeling profession must know. Even if he (or she) understands a little bit of history, he (or she) can display the clothing of different eras. It must be very appropriate. Even if you can't master these things, you still need to be familiar with them.

The next step is professional feeling and ability to demonstrate. A model's professional sense generally includes clothing sense and stage sense. This requires models to have a very strong intuitive judgment ability, that is, they must be able to use their own intuition to judge what is a popular trend. People with a professional sense can show themselves confidently and generously on the T stage, interpret the charm of the brand, and bring the audience into a realm of beauty. The display ability of the T stage includes two aspects: stage performance skills and clothing display ability. Stage performance skills are generally developed through professional training. Fashion shows generally require models to understand the designer's design intentions and the choreographer's purpose of arranging music and walking on the stage. The content of these requirements is the ability that models must have to display clothing. Therefore, in order to become a professional model, in addition to having the physical hardware conditions, you must also have a certain cultural foundation.
