4. Plus Size Model

The plus model market has become an important part of the fashion and commercial model industry. Several of the top fashion agencies now have plus size divisions and we’ve seen many plus supermodels over the past few years.

Plus models are generally determined by size rather than exact measurements, such as size 12 and up. In the real world a size 12 is not considered a plus size, but in the modeling industry, it can be.

5. Petite Model

Petite models are generally 5′ 7″ and under. While petite models don’t generally do runway work, they are often booked for swimsuit, lingerie, and parts modeling. Since petite models usually have smaller shoe and glove sizes they are popular as foot and hand models.

6. Child Model

What do celebrities Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Connelly, Natalie Portman and even CNN’s Anderson Cooper have in common? They were all child models!

The age range for a child model is generally 12 years and under and they can be any size and height.

Agents that represent child models are looking for children with lots of personality and who are able to work well on set and around strangers.
