5. Fashion Modeling

Fashion modeling differs from modeling for life-drawing for several reasons:

A) The fashion-modeling job is better paid.

B) The career of a fashion model is usually short, because magazines don’t want to use faces and figures that have become familiar.

C) Clothes, make up, and hair serve as focus for fashion work.

D) Very few people are accepted as fashion models. Art modeling is not likely to provide a successful entree, but gives practice.

E) Fashion modeling is for advertising, and is more eligible for misuse than art modeling is, though both can be misused, and both can be appropriate.
