What Is Model Statistics?
In the Modelling Industry, Model Statistic is none other than the measurements of a model that any model agencies or any potential employers always want to know other than the looks.
Why?
While choosing a right Model for a particular project, body shape is considered as one of the most influential and critical points for making decisions whether to hire that model or not. But this doesn’t mean that for a good career in modelling you need to have a slim size zero measurement. In fact, many of the agencies and catalogue contracts don’t need size zero figures. You just need to be unique to fit into the required role of the project.
Think of it like this.
All together if an agency is looking a model for lingerie shoot it means the project probably have a particular bust size in mind.
Similarly is for clothing brands. It is trending for fashion chains to lead ‘petite’ & ‘tall’ lines to their collections, thus, clearly signifying that you are five foot tall will do you the world of good when it comes to finding short modelling work, going along to the same firm when you are six foot tall, however, will not.
So as an ambitious model career, what statistics should you be aware of?
Height

For some projects, height is a make or break detail, so agencies/employers who are interested can find out that information about you quickly.

Thus, eat a nutritious, healthy diet and implement a truthful exercise regime of around three times a week. Both will complement each other and allow for you to maintain a convincing figure.
