In order to become a fashion model, the first thing that you'll need is an attractive figure and appealing looks. If you don't already have these, go out and acquire them first. It isn't all that difficult and most of you can manage it, if you try right and try hard enough. Assuming that you have the right looks, what next?ber that agencies also need good fresh talent, so if you ask these questions, no one's going

The next thing is of course to get noticed and get recruited by a modeling agency. Actually these agencies need you as much as you need them. They are constantly on the look out for fresh young faces and if you're hanging out in the right places they might spot you out themselves. But it isn't a very good idea to wait for that to happen. These days you have to be proactive and push things yourself. Your first step in this direction would be to get a list of agencies that recruit models and send your photographs to them. Simple photographs should serve the purpose well enough, so don't spend money on creating an expensive portfolio. Agencies also have open castings that you can attend to get selected. Find out from the agencies in your list whether they have these and when they are planning their next event. Remem to eat you up.

The real action starts after you've been picked up by one of these agencies. You may have to relocate and live away from your family. It may take time to get your first job, and you have to be both patient and disciplined till then. Make sure that you attend all the castings, and show up for meetings on time.

Present yourself in a natural and relaxed way. The agency that takes you in, will be presenting you to their clients. If you are relaxed and simple, your chances may be much better at getting selected than if you are heavily made up, put up artificial postures and are trying hard to impress. In fact, this is true of almost anything - be relaxed and don't worry too much about what's going to happen. Be your natural self.

If you're going to be a model, you better learn to love the camera. Don't hesitate or mind showing yourself off. Find out what type of posture suits you best and try to do those. Be relaxed and casual about nudity, if that becomes necessary.

If you keep trying, you will get your first break soon. You should ensure that you make the most of it. Follow the advice given about presenting yourself.
