Going into 2025 with dreams to become a model? With a more diverse industry than ever before there is no better time to start modelling than in the new year. In this blog we will be discussing highly useful tips, and why you should start modelling in 2025!

Why You Should Start Modelling in 2025:

A More Inclusive Industry:

As briefly mentioned before, the modelling industry has never been as diverse as it is now. This opens up so many opportunities for all, with agencies and brands seeking out models no matter of weight, ethnicity or gender. With such a range of modelling opportunities, finding a career within the industry is much simpler, allowing you to be your full authentic self.

The Help of Social Media:

Social media and other digital platforms have helped to revolutionise the modelling industry, allowing models to build their own brands and websites independently. This is great in terms of communication, allowing them to post what they would like, interacting with their audience and collaborating with their favourite brands. This helps in giving newer models more control over their career, letting them post content that reflects them, and not just their agency.

Opportunity to Grow Globally:

Models and especially fashion are becoming increasingly popular within the global market. Those that know multiple languages can connect with a range of different audiences, making them an incredibly popular choice for many agencies. This also presents a range of new and exciting opportunities for aspiring models, incorporating your heritage and culture within an international environment.

New Career Opportunities:

These days modelling doesn’t have to be traditional, allowing models to explore other creative fields. Some models are exploring acting, such as Cara Delevingne who featured within ‘Suicide Squad’. Especially with the help of social media campaigns and content creation, this allows models to explore their versatility, expanding their career potential for the future.

Tips for Starting out Models:

Develop Your Look:

Most agencies are looking for unique styles and features that can become the face of future brands. Having an established look can really help in appearing more confident, finding what works best for you can mean you appeal more to brands.

Little to no makeup when taking your pictures can really help agencies see the real you, so making sure you take care of your skin and body is a great start. You’re going to want to take photos from a range of angles, so ensuring you look and feel great is a must.

Networking:

Like all industries, networking is a key to success, especially when wanting to get into modelling. When attending events, making sure you get your name out there, contacting multiple agencies, can also help start your career.

Patience:

One of the key tips when wanting to get into modelling is patience. You are highly likely to get rejected at least once, but don’t get discouraged. Working within the modelling industry is highly competitive, even with looser restrictions. It will take time before you start to find success, but don’t give up and maintain a positive outlook and work hard towards your goals.
