Lingerie Modelling with North West Model Agency
North West Model Agency believes lingerie modelling is on the rise. The popularity in magazine and coffee shop culture coupled with the rise of the internet has seen an explosion in the last few years of publications featuring lingerie models.
Lingerie model publications appeal to both men and women and are usually associated with current celebrity fashion, gossip and products (from gadgets to shoes). Lingerie has a softer image than glamour modelling and so can be used for a greater range of publications, from FHM to More.
What is Lingerie Modelling?
North West Model Agency considers lingerie modelling to be just as important as any other modelling discipline. It is hard to define in any one sense which in some ways makes it harder to compare. Because of its lack of strict definition the competition for lingerie modelling is just as intense as any other modelling role.
Lingerie modelling concentrates on the model herself and the clothes or products she is wearing. The advantage lingerie modelling has over other forms is the lack of height, age, or weight restrictions. This makes it an ideal career for girls who do not fit the “sample” size required by fashion houses.
Success in lingerie modelling is very much about looking the best and this is why it is both competitive and fun to be in. It is always worth remembering though many other factors such as agency activity and personality count a lot.
Lingerie can have a large scope of clothing too from bras and knickers to the more daring corsets and stockings. It is safe to say that lingerie modelling is just about as diverse and interesting as another other type of fashion modelling. The range of brands too are impressive, from the standard M&S socks and French knickers, to the Anne Summers style basque and hold ups.
