THE MALE MODELING INDUSTRY AT A GLANCE The modeling industry has certainly evolved throughout the years. Aside from the rising popularity of using plus size models, the fact that the number of male models are continuing to increase is another living proof that the fashion industry has indeed changed. Gone are the days when the runways are limited to female models.

The female industry has Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford while the male modeling industry has Marcus Schenkenberg and Tyson Beckford. Marcus Schenkenberg is considered by some as one of the world’s first supermodel. He has graced numerous runways and is the favorite of a lot of designers for their ads. Tyson Beckford on the other hand, is a household name.

He is undeniably one of the most recognizable and successful male models in the entire world. He has successfully made a transition in the mainstream entertainment industry and has changed the way most people view male models.

Male models basically go through the same process as female models when it comes to finding a modeling gig. They also go to casting calls and they got to have a portfolio. The one thing that makes both industries different though is the criteria that they have to meet. There is a stereotype in the female modeling industry where in as a female model, you have to look like a certain way.

If you want to be a plus size model, it is not enough that you meet the weight requirement.

You should also make sure that your entire body is completely proportionate. You don’t necessarily have to lose weight in order to do so. You should just make sure that no body part looks bigger than the other and that nothing stands out in bad way.

Although it is taking the fashion industry into another, more client-centered direction, it does not mean that plus size modeling is just apparent or useful in commercial modeling. More and more high fashion designers are beginning to see the advantage of using plus size models for their shows and campaign. This is why plus size modeling is something that should never be ridiculed or looked down upon.
