To be a model. Lessons I’ve learned during my career
On June 11, 2021 by marghevivianiI had my first modelling experience when I was 5 years old. Then I restarted at 13 and at my 15 I got my first contract in Tokyo. I didn’t take it seriously, because I didn’t even gain. But all of the sudden it became a job of my life. After passing a model school and creating a model career those are the lessons I learned for my whole life. They are not useful only for a model, absolutely not, but for every girl or woman in general.
1. Straight back is the key to success
It gives confidence. But confidence is the way to be successful. Our body most of the time speaks for us, we express emotions and feelings through the body. But at the same time by the positions and movements, we can change negative feelings and emotions to positives. To me, it took years of yoga to open my chest and feeling comfortable with a straight back.
2. Never stop studying
To be a model doesn’t mean to stop studying. Means to be updated on the news, to be educated, intelligent, to have a sense of humor, etc. The more interesting person you are, the more people wanna work with you.
3. Practice a confident walking
To walk confidently on high-heels you must practice… a lot. Not only models, I think all women must be able to flow while wearing high heels. Before my first walk at the fashion show, I took plenty of classes in our model school.
4. Being in good shape but healthy
Is not welcome to be extremely skinny, or sick-looking. Better to be concentrated on a balanced diet and at least a minimum amount of exercise. I
5. Competition doesn’t exist
Everyone is perfect, in her way. We are all different, and we are all beautiful.
6. Know your body
Means knowing what fits you or not, knowing your best angles and which poses are the best for you. Take your time to play in front of the mirror and explore your body. We are girls after all and we have complete rights to do that 🙂
7. Smile with eyes
It’s very simple. Only what you need is to create a light inside of you. It can be a pleasant memory or feeling. This skill not only important for pictures but also to communicate with other people.
8. We can do much more than we think
Just not be scared, just let it flow and you will see. When we used to do more it becomes very natural.
9. Be happy without thinking of money
Less you think for the money and the more you enjoy what you are doing, the more money you get. The fact of my life.
