What to wear to a fitness modeling interview?
What guidelines would you recommend for an interview with a modeling agency's fitness department? I've always felt confident with what to wear for commercial/theatrical agencies, or black dresses and heels for modeling agencies when I was in high school, but I'm not sure what would be both professional and athletically-flattering at the same time when walking into an interview primarily for fitness modeling. What do you think would be best and what they're expecting after calling you in from your fitness photos? Thanks!

If not, a fitted top and fitted jeans could also work. (Solid colors - anything but black :-) ) Your instaccount has plenty of you in competition wear so no need for you to be trying on bikinis or others while you're there. They may Polaroid you with the standard four-shot but any specifics they want you to be wearing should be mentioned before you get there; not while. Hope they're legit and those interviews go well!

No hats, flip-flops, fashion sun glasses. Then rock it. Walk tall. Interact not over react. Have fun with it. Good Luck. Oct 22 19 01:39 pm Link Ask them. Oct 22 19 03:25 pm Link Great, thank you guys! Sorry for the delay in responding - Yeah, that brings up my second point that some agencies want you wearing NO makeup at all, but I'd agree a natural approach in makeup (especially when you aren't 17 lol) is probably best.

When it comes to fitness castings they want to see your body, tone etc. So, it's better to go with the modeling basics of tight fitting black jeans/tights, a raised sports shoe to add height and a tight fitting black shirt(variations apply, style is key). Of course, you can add or subtract from this depending on season, style etc, but if you show up, and they can't see the lines of your body, it can work against you. Of course, that's from my experience. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to castings, but to me simple, tight and stylish is the way to go. Also, yeah no make up or a natural look is best. Not sure if I'm too late to the party, but here ya go. xD Nov 16 19 05:05 am Link KRGrant wrote: I think this is the best response so far Nov 16 19 10:59 am Link Garry k wrote: Thanks, but I'm just sharing what I know lol. It's the basic law of any casting. I mean you could wear other colors, but the intent is to accentuate the form. Usually, browns or blues are acceptable, but generally they prefer a grey or dark tone to them. Pure white, grey, red, yellow etc. will make you seem like traffic light, and can make you seem bigger than you actually are. Besides, no matter what color your wearing, the casting director or client isn't looking at that. They want to see your face and body and see what presence you bring, and you need to be able to bring it in the bare minimum. If they want to see you in other clothes then they will provide them (at least in the case of a professional casting, it all depends as most things). ._. Nov 16 19 11:07 pm Link i have participated in several castings for our Fashion Week which of course are castings for a range of fashions Form fitting clothing . hair back . minimal makeup and a low heel is what i prefer to see Nov 17 19 09:29 am Link Search Pinterest for wardrobe ideas that are in-line with what you think they may be looking for and that you will be comfortable with.

Nov 25 19 11:20 am Link it's been months. How did it go? Jan 02 20 09:20 am Link Jarrett Porst wrote: Last activity on her account was Nov 17. I doubt we'll get an answer. Jan 02 20 10:09 am Link |
