Hey y'all.  I put up a "new" shot (I did this a few years ago, but it never ended up in my port.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/46836754

Mainly, I'm seeking critique as far as fashion goes.  I'm working with a wonderful photographer soon to update my portfolio/get some full body, solid modeling shots before I meet with an agent.    I'm looking for great styles to compliment my shape.  I'm a tall, curvy woman with a fuller bottom half. 

Models, photographers...what should I wear?  Are there stylists with any suggestions?

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!  I'm pretty set when it comes to agency meetings, my question was more geared towards the actual photos.  What clothes are models wearing in their portfolios?  Trying to get some ideas for when I shoot! smile

Yep, until mid-May!  The photographer I'm working with books out a couple months in advance.

Isn't a set the Photographer or (paying) Clients vision?

I would think your best examples will be on IG where fashion is a big thing for many of the "influencers"
On MM Fashion often means the model is waring clothes ( other than lingerie or swimsuits or parts thereof)
Hope the Chemo goes well and does its job.

If you are interested in working with an agency, do some research.  Find the agencies in your area which you would like to be signed by.  Then browse their clients to see how they are dressed.  Sure, there will be a wide range but are they wearing busy patterns?  Do the models have a lot of fashion imagery or more commercial.  If you know anyone who is signed by the agency, ask them for advice or talk to one of their photographers. 

All that being said, a great headshot is always important.

You might have more success asking those on your friend's list. It really depends on what work you're lining up for. Form fitting clothes, a headshot as someone said. Swimsuit. Good luck

In a City as big as yours - maybe there is a Stylist who would be interested in collaborating
