Where do i start in the fashion industry?

Question

Hi, i'm Asha, i'm not fully grown yet, (but i'm a size 8 in british sizes and quite tall) and i live, breathe, and eat fashion. I don't want anyone to think of me as vain, but i'd really like to get into modeling.

I think it could work because i am really into acting, plus i am a workaholic so the lifestyle would definitely suit me.

Anybody who knows anything about the industry, please give me some information on where i could get started.

P.S, It would be a big change for me as I am considered the "top-of-the-class academic" by my family, so i don't know how to tell them it is my real passion!

Hello!

So... first off, u need to get some professional pictures of urself, and make a profolio:

-headshot

-formal

-bathing suit

-casual

-funk

-high end

(u need a couple of pictures of each)

Then, go to a large city, and look for some modeling companies. Try to find out when they are booking, and go in there and try out.

Even if the first one turns u down, listen to their conmments. U can learn from them!!

u should buy this book too: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Model/C...

it will give u some insight into the fashion world, and some do's and donts that u might not know otherwise! Plus- its a really good book :)
