The promise of fame and fortune go along with the fashion industry, so by having a great body, some luck and through lot of hard work and people skills you might be very rich and famous before coming of age on your 21st birthday. However do not imagine that becoming a fashion model is going to be easy.
The initial part is simple, if you fit the measures quite soon somebody is going to spot you and if it doesn't happen you have but a few simple steps in order to get noticed. As a matter of fact if you are really interested in becoming a fashion model you optimize your chances by moving to New York, Paris or Milan, of course it is not necessary to live in one of those cities in order to get spotted but if becoming a fashion model is your primary objective that is where you will end up eventually.
In order to become a fashion model you might start by sending your pictures and portfolios to agencies, try not to overreact with the clothing and the make up. The agents need to see as much of your natural self as they can in order to better place you. You can also call the agencies in order to find out when they have open castings which could provide you with a shot at your goal of becoming a fashion model.
Even though some models have been discovered through schools, most of those are a waste of money and they tend to earn on people whose aims are non realistic. So the agencies are your best shot and if you do get signed on by one, you have a big chance of moving to N.Y, Paris or Milan and the agencies will actually help by finding you a place to stay and introduce you into the new life. That is the moment when you can say that the first step towards becoming a fashion model is completed and it is now that the hard and the exciting part begins.
It is great to be out on your own in a City like N.Y or Paris and hanging out at the most fashionable places while being looked upon with admiration and envy, but some models find it hard to adapt and miss their families while others tend to overreact with the nightlife and do not take the job seriously, some of those get their act together and others go or are sent home.
Emerging models stand the best chance if they are ambitious but sometimes the ambition can be very dangerous since the glamour and the money surrounding the fashion industry attracts many sharks and some over ambitious models tend to get hurt.
