- Female fashion models' height must be between 5'8"-6'0"
- Female fashion models should weight between 108-130lbs, in proportion to height
- These characteristics for fashion modeling jobs are partly aesthetic and partly practical: this type of frame looks good on the runway and in front of the camera (which, they say, adds up to 15 pounds); and a somewhat scrawny build drapes clothing nicely and ensures a good fit in the standard wardrobe.
- Male fashion models can start out a little later, roughly between the ages of 18 and 25.
- Male fashion models' height must be between 5'11"- 6'2"
- Male fashion models must weight between 140-165 lbs.
