Australian Fashion Week, Skinny Model Debate?

Australia did it again. After making a heavy media coverage for the infamous turning down of a 14-year old supermodel, the Australian Fashion Week almost lost one of its runway models after being pulled out by her modeling agency from the fashion show for weight loss issue.

The 23-year old, five-feet 11-inches (180 cms) tall model Stephanie Carta was pulled out of the show by Australian model agency Chic Management. Modeling for fashion designer Michelle Jank, she was pulled out on Monday when her loss weight became obvious since moving to Paris last November.

The model, however, was allowed back onto the catwalk a day later, after her agency was reassured that she was fit and well. Nevertheless, her catwalk appearance was lessen to eight shows instead of the original fifteen.

The agency denied allegations of anorexia problems but told the press instead that the model suffered from glandular fever that caused her her weight.

Will this meant a stricter rules for the modeling community then?

The organizers of the Australian Fashion Week were not bothered by considerations for stricter modeling rules to avoid skinny models for their runway shows. Says the head of the fashion show, there was no reason for organizers of the 13th annual event to intervene or draft stricter rules to conform with some overseas fashion shows that state what body mass index models should have.

The reason? The "size zero" was not much of a concern in Australia where most models tend to have higher BMIs given a range of environmental factors. Australian models tend to be healthier and more athletic body because there was not much pressure in the country for its models to be extremely thin.

If skinny model is not a problem for the country, what could be an issue for the Australian fashion industry then? Modeling agency spokeswoman, Kathy Ward, blurted out a witty reply.

“If designers do decide they want smaller models, then that is a problem for Australian models.”

Student Fashion Designers Delivered Notable Clothing Collection

In the Senior Collections Fashion Show at Parsons The New School for Design held Monday at the Grand Hyatt in New York, students displayed their masterpieces in a promising event that may have already made some of the students on the list notable fashion designers.

Fashion design is only for the pros. says who?

Clothes paraded on the runway are designed by graduating seniors. The students' work were highly acclaimed as they "delivered collections notable for their overall level of polish, professionalism and, some obvious references aside, terrific clothes."

Strong looks from the show included Suberville's romantic froth, Bo Bae Lee's earthy chic knits, Rachel Rymar's paint-splattered looks and Cullen Meyer's demonstrative retro tailoring.

Here's an "A" mark to the students and to their glamorous future ahead in the fashion industry.

And here's a casting opportunity for those who want to have a bright career ahead in fashion design. Good luck!

Yohji Yamamoto In Beijing: Cultivating Peace Through Fashion

Fashion and glamour cultivate peace in China as legendary Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto hosts a Fashion Show and Charity Auction in Beijing on April 24.

In the highly publicized event, Yamamoto showed of 34 looks from his fall collection for Y's, his original line first launched in 1977. The event also launched the Yohji Yamamoto Fund for Peace, which aims to inspire creativity amongst China’s new generation of fashion talents.

The fund helps a Chinese designer who will be chosen annually for a two-year course of study at a fashion college in Japan or Europe. Moreover, a male or female model will also be selected for their glamorous debut in runway modeling at the Paris prêt-a-porter season.

The event was held in a small temple to the east of the Forbidden City. Two days after the show, the clothes will be auctioned at a dinner in a Beijing Hotel with money raised going to the peace fund. The charity dinner and auction sighted many notable names and faces from Beijing’s fashion, design and art community.

Indeed, nothing can perhaps promote better international relations than the universal language of fashion.

Helping Improve the Conditions for Models

During the launch of his Arts and Creative Manifesto, London mayor Ken Livingston made a declaration of support to the modeling world.

He has pledged to improve the conditions for models in the fashion industry as well as wide-ranging commitments to culture and leisure facilities. On April 21, he also gave his backing to a 'permanent venue' for London Fashion Week.

He said: "London is a world center for fashion. Great designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano use London as a place of inspiration, to experiment and to launch new ideas.”

Along with these statements, mayor Livingston declared his commitment to the improvement of the fashion industry. Let's hear it from the mayor himself:

"I will support steps to ensure London continues to launch the new talent of the future. I will therefore continue to support London Fashion Week, which has already begun to rebuild its international position. I will ensure there is support for the new design talent that is the bedrock of the industry. I will help London Fashion Week establish a permanent venue in the capital. At the same time I will work to improve conditions in the industry, particularly for models, through ensuring that the recommendations of the Model Health Inquiry are implemented. I will also work with the industry to address discrimination, which has meant it is hard for non-white models to find work."

Kudos for the mayor and his heart for fashion.

We just hope this is not all political retoric...

Casting Calls For TV and Movie Demand Extras!

Background actors, commonly called extras, are always essential parts for any film. They are important for creating a "natural" environment where the character (that an actor or actress portrays) thrives. This is the reason why extras are always in demand.

Not everyone gets the chance to play a lead in a movie but everyone can have a part. Appearing on a big screen doesn't require experience.

Movie stars and established actors in the showbiz industry aside, its the less noticeable background people commonly known as “extras” that are in demand.

Extras are the many promising actors appearing in the scenes of every movie or television show, all for the purpose of creating a simulated real environment. Because the primary role of extras is to create an environment that makes the scene appear realistic, they are sometimes considered as “walking sets pieces.”

However, no show on TV or the big screen can be successfully launched without extras. Even music videos frequently require background people in order to achieve the desired “natural” setting. Featured extras become part of the scene. When extras have speaking lines, they are already considered as cameo appearances.

To be an extra requires more of the right look – the physical features that suit the desired environment of a movie or TV scene. For an action film, for example, casting for extras usually seeks the FBI Agents, Cops, Nurses, Doctors, Interns, and Hospital Visitors.

Casting Calls may be posted through different mediums, including print, television, or the internet. Sometimes though, casting agents go through talent agencies to seek extras, especially when the project requires a variety of extras for many scenes.

Thus, people who have established their profiles in talent agencies and portfolio sites have more edge when it comes to landing extra roles. Most extra works are paid, with standard rates for a full 12-hour day at $65.

A featured extra can receive anywhere from $75-$125 for a full 12 hour day.

In simple words, extra work is easy money. Sometimes, it even include great food. There are even successful actors who started as extras, though it may seem impossible without the help of a recognizable agency or portfolio site.

So post your portfolio on a reliable and popular sites like New Faces to get daily updates of many casting calls for film and TV appearances. Chances are, this might just be the elusive way for that one big shot to fame.

Miley Cyrus aka Hanna Montana's Memoir And Upcoming Film

Success really came early for Cyrus Miley. Her top-rating TV show Hanna Montana is due for blackbuster release. Currently, casting calls have been posted for the Hanna Montana film.

Way to go, girl!

Jen Hunter: Plus Size Role Model Against Anorexia

Jen Hunter is the Plus Size Role Model who would rather leave the catwalk than become sick with anorexia. As a curvy model, she became sensational when she chose to abandon the runway rather than become a size 0.

Gorgeous despite her "stocky" legs, it was still easy for Jen to find a modeling job after her exit from the catwalk, primarily because she remained confident.

Jen claims that she was once ashamed of her "huge ass" and "wobbly gut." After intensive counseling, she realized that "big can be beautiful" too. Despite the criticism she gets from people who are into skinny models only, Jen has maintained her successful professional modeling career.

Jen is 25 years old at present and a size 10-12 – a measurement already classified as Plus Size in the modeling industry. "At size 10-12, I can't fit into anything at Top Shop or any designer clothes, but there are lots of fashion outlets such as Matalan, Aldi or Walmart, where I can get clothes to fit me. I am a successful model in the fashion industry, albeit because of my freak value, and I want to send a positive message to other obese teenagers and young women out there." In addition, the British hottie says that there is far too much pressure on anorexics to remain thin.

At the moment, Jen wants to share her modeling success especially with British schoolgirls as she talks about anorexia. Jen Hunter believes that there's untold damage being done to young girls by thinking that being skinny is good. "There seems to be this race to see who can be the skinniest and it's just not healthy. Regular women are size 14-16 but what other people try to tell us is that abnormally thin is the way life should be. It isn't."

Thanks to Jen Hunter, there will be more gorgeous models who know how to appreciate their beauty despite being considered "fat" by the modeling industry.

Indeed, plus size modeling is definitely “in” these days with so many casting calls for plus size models. It has become one of the most popular casting calls for models to date.

Skinny Models Ban Creates Legal Boundaries To Beauty Standards?

And now it's France's turn to ban the use of extremely thin models in fashion shows. The French have crafted a law that makes it illegal to use anorexic thin models especially in websites and publications media.


Extreme thinness was said to be encouraging severe loss of weight. Thus, the government and other concerned groups make the effort to fight self-inflicted starvation from weight problems. If the senate arrives at a decision that favors the bill, those who tend to promote anorexia by using extremely thin models in their fashion campaigns are fined up to 45,000 euros and three years of imprisonment.

There are oppositions to the bill, on the other hand, the majority of which are coming from the influential French Federation of Couture. The federation believes that there should be no legal boundaries to fashion and beauty standards. "Never will we accept in our profession that a judge decides if a young girl is skinny or not skinny," it said. "That doesn't exist in the world, and it will certainly not exist in France."

So, which side are you on – the one that puts health before glamour by passing the law to fight the trend of anorexia in the modeling and fashion industry? Or the one that declares "no fat chicks" and immortalizes beauty in diversity by acknowledging the aesthetic appeal of extremely thin models?

Weeks ago, the comedian appeared on the The Oprah Winfrey Show and told everyone that he was inspired by Eckhart Tolle's book, which tackles spirituality.

Photographers Take Center Stage in Fashion Photography Exhibit

Photographers will be highlighted in the exhibit that will showcase their craftsmanship in the Australian fashion photography exhibit dubbed as “From Fishnets to Ballgown (and Everything in Between).”

To work in the genre of photography that highlights clothing and fashion is no joke. Amidst the thousands of people in a modeling or commercial pictorial (including the make-up artists, hairdressers and other assistants), photographers must be able to make a connection between the lens of his/camera and the subject – all for the sake of capturing that one precious shot that speaks of everything about fashion and the industry.

Says one expert fashion photographer on the importance of building a connection with the subject in every fashion photography, “The model-photographer relationship is crucial. The more you work with one model, the more you can get out of situations. It's like having a relationship."

It's just amazing to realize how photographers builds a special world for him/her and the model during fashion photography, a world that transcends into the picture and sometimes making fashion photography a priceless historical masterpiece.

Mark your calendar, then, photography and fashion fanatics!

From April 23 to May 7, 2008, “From Fishnets to Ballgowns” fashion exhibit will feature works from 20 of Australia’s leading and promising fashion photographers such as Carlotta Moye, Candice Lake, Georges Antoni, Jez Smith, and David Mandelberg. This will be held on MLC Centre Fashion Level 7.

The chosen photographs will be exhibited for two weeks, A2- mounted and framed, and will be available for commercial distribution. The profits will go to Starlight Children’s Foundation, an Australian charity institution that helps seriously ill and hospitalized children.

Kudos to the photographers of the fashion photography exhibit and to their life-giving cause!

Minimum Age for Catwalk Models Changed to 16

After the banning of skinny models in Spain, modeling continues to revolutionize its image as the minimum age for catwalk models is changed to 16.

This was spearheaded by the Australian Fashion Week organizers who have vowed to prevent the use of a 14-year teen model Monika Jagaciak for the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Aside from setting the minimum age requirement to 16, catwalk models are also required to be represented by a modeling agency.

Vogue magazine responded to the call by announcing that it would not feature Monika in its coverage of Australian Fashion Week (AFW). The magazine also reechoed the call for the use of catwalk models who are 16 years and older.

Last year, there was a public outcry when a fashion competition was won by a 12-year old girl so the AFW reviewed the policies of the industry to ensure that the event best served modeling and reflected the modeling community's attitudes towards issues surrounding the fashion industry.

Aside from setting 16 as the minimum age for catwalk models, AFW also requires school-leaving models to have written permission from parents or guardians and school principals. They must also be chaperoned by a representative of a reputable agency. All these and everything perhaps, to remind them that they may be in the catwalk but are still “innocent babies” of the modeling industry.

Finding The Perfect Fit As Jean Model

Take it from the expert: "The premise of a fit model is that you're a real person with real curves."

This was shared by designer Paige Adams-Geller who was once in denim modeling herself and has worked for denim companies such as Seven Jeans, Citizens of Humanity, True Religion and more.

Paige started her modeling career as a runway model. Later on, she was sick with anorexia and had to stop working in the runways in order to cure her ailment. She found modeling career anew in jeans “fit” modeling. Unlike in the catwalk, she doesn't have to lose too much weight in order to attain the fit halfway between the clothes which are usually size 0 to size 12.

Thus, she regained back her health and still retained a career in modeling. As a fit model, she work directly with a designer and a pattern maker. She tries the garment on her body and together with the designer, changes and adjusts the fit for production.

Now that Paige successfully has her own line of denim wear, she spiritedly advices people that “Once women are comfortable in their own skin, they'll be comfortable in their jeans.”

Uploading Video To Attract Media Attention

Uploading video is one of the most effective way
to attract casting agents and bookers attention.

New Faces member Tori Praver

So, you are the greatest star in town – having outstanding talents and gifted with the x-factor and everything that ought to make you shine . Still, you feel like you haven't got great media attention, the kind that you know you deserved.

Chances are, you might be missing on the latest strategy today to get your identity on top of the globe – video uploading.

Uploading talent performances on video sites has proven to be one of the most effective strategy to gain international media exposure. There have been a lot of talents who are discovered on videos that are uploaded on the internet. In fact, many aspiring singers, comedians, models, and celebrities that we knew of started to make a name when they uploaded their potentials on websites.

Why? Because people – talent scouts, casting agents, or simply curious individuals – are able to witness the raw talent of the star when they appear on videos. Trough the videos, there's no more heavy talking, no harsh bragging or self-selling, no exaggerated testimonials – just simple validation of what a talent is made of.

People prefer to watch than read. With an uploaded video, there is no more browsing once people get to a star's site, they just click the video and voila - an instant celebrity! If the video is successful in presenting the star to the audience, it usually triggers the emotion of the audience to make an action, say, convinced the talent scout to contact the aspiring star for job offers. As they say, “To see is to believe.”

Uploading a video that highlights the talent of an aspiring star is also video marketing – a video star gives the audience the concrete sample of what s/he is capable of, like some sort of advertisements.

With video uploads, not only do you get to describe yourself, you also get to show yourself.

Tila Tequila: A Shot At Love With The MTV Star

First, she became the most popular member on a social networking site. Next, she appeared in sexy magazines. And then she made it to MTV as probably the most controversial bachelorette seeking a date. She's Tila Tequila and her shot to fame is phenomenally bottomless.

Tila Tequila (Tila Nguyen in real life) is an American model, singer, and entertainer with a lot of steamy appearances in leading entertainment magazines. She also hosted a striptease dancing competition on TV. She became well-known for starring on the bisexual-themed reality dating show, “A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila.”

The dating show featured 16 straight males and 16 lesbian females who live in Tila's house and compete for her attention and affection. The contestants were not aware of Tila's bisexuality until the end of the first episode, after ten contestants had been eliminated.

Once again Tila Tequila is gearing up for another series of her controversial hit program on MTV, “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila 2”. The second season will premiere on Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Casting calls have been posted for those who are interested to join in the fun with the sexy model-entertainer in the Hollywood Hills Mansion.

Excitement rises along with temperature for the second season of the show. Searching adults are not the only ones who readied for its airing on TV but also critics whose commentaries only made the program more popular. Now that Tila Tequila's bisexuality is no longer a secret, what could be the twists of the coming season?

“Project Runway” Left The Network For A Lifetime!

The show that hooked a great number of fashion fans and style icons for five years has announced that “Project Runway” will be leaving the Bravo network.

Fans need not to worry, however, because Project Runway will be moving to Lifetime network.

The fifth season of the show, of which casting calls have been done in the late part of March, is set for a farewell series on Bravo on July 2008. Being the owner of Bravo, however, NBC has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the producers of Project Runway for breach of contract.

Amidst this turmoil, its unclear if the fifth season of the fashion-competition show will be aired by NBC. Take it from the management: “NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program, including the right to decide whether it is in the best interest of the company to continue to air the show under the proposed financial terms."

But if the show is moved for its sixth round success, then brace yourselves fans. As for the panelist and designer-mentor Tim Gunn, it will be business as usual as he decides who makes it to the top of the fashion competition. As for the German supermodel host Heidi Klum, she's got one piece of advice to suit the drama: fashion is about change.”

What's More to Come for Catherine-Zeta Jones?

Catherine Zeta-Jones may now be 38 years old but she remains one of the most beautiful faces among Hollywood stars. Still, there are more good things coming for her as she continues to land on lead roles in her current movies including the 2007 hit "No Reservations” and latest film “Death Defying Acts.”

Although The Entrapment star admitted that she 's getting too old for sex scenes, she knew there will still be a lot of good, mature characters for her to play in the coming days, especially mother roles.

Yes. Maybe the beautiful actress who once served as the sex symbol of Hollywood movies in the 90s has lost some of her allurement with age, but it does not mean that her career is gone for good.

In fact, as part of her “natural progression” in the movie industry, the top Hollywood star is due to film a romantic comedy, Aram Finkelstein, this coming spring, most probably on the month of May. Fortuitously, open calls for the aspiring actors who are invited to play in the film with Catherine-Zeta Jones have already been launched on the New Faces Casting Site.

Amidst all the success that the actress has achieved, the stunning Catherine remains humble as she said, "I'm probably not the best actor in the world but on screen I have something that I know is a little different and also on stage."

Reality TV: A Sure Ticket To Stardom

If you're a nobody who wants to make a career in show business without going through stringent talent workshops to make it into Hollywood, then reality TV could just be the right spot for you.

Reality TV is television programming with unscripted and unedited filming of what is happening in an environment that is followed by the lens of the camera. It usually stars ordinary people instead of professional actors.

With reality TV, once unknown faces become instant stars especially if the program is top-rating and aired internationally. Thus, participants are able to become national celebrities in a month or two. Although the careers of some Reality TV stars are short-lived, there are also successful celebrities who are able to established a name in the showbiz industry. It is no wonder that Reality TV becomes the most notable talent-search program (like America's Got Talent and American Idol).

There are many reality TV shows that are aired by top television networks like ABC, MTV, NBC, and CBS, among others. But the most popular of the today's reality TV programs is probably the Big Brother series, which have developed different versions of the program from its original airing in the Netherlands in 1999. Big Brother is a program where some 10 or 12 complete strangers live inside a house that is isolated from the outside environment. Inside the Big Brother house, the “housemates” are expected to follow the rules of “Big Brother” and try to avoid periodic evictions from the house. The grand winner receives cash prizes and usually signs up for contract with the showbiz industry. Currently, a US television network is launching casting calls for another Big Brother series that is expected to hit the airwaves.

Think you've got the talent? Audition for Reality TV and show the world what they've been missing in their lives when you are not on TV.

The world is waiting for you.

A Successful Modeling Career With Your Crowning Glory

Hair modeling can be an essential step in a model's career.

They say you need three good things to get into the modeling industry: good bones; good luck; and good hair.

Indeed, hair modeling can be a great step for a model's career. This is because when you appear in prints to sport your styled hair for a fashion company or individual, you also get a sophisticated presentation of yourself to the public (thanks to the retouched digital photographs and make-over sessions) that becomes part of your modeling identity and an asset to your photo resume. Thus, simple hair modeling can give you the experience and publicity that becomes your edge in the competitive modeling world - plus you'll also get some great photos to use for your online model portfolio resume.

Michelle and Kristy are just two of the many lucky models who found a good start in modeling as they launched a career as hair models for L'Oréal company, appearing in major magazines in Canada. Both models shared that they have good experience with hair modeling. As Kristy puts it, “The entire team that I worked with was amazing, from the photographer to the makeup artist to the L'Oréal staff. They had so much jewelry and trendy clothing it was so much fun! The initial shoot was very quick, however everything to get to that point, makeup, hair and clothing selection took a little more time -- but it was sooo worth it!” This overwhelming reaction was also expressed by Michelle who immediately found a modeling agency in Toronto after her experience with L'Oreal.

Unlike many other aspiring hair models, Michelle and Kristy no longer had to attend the rigorous process of auditions since they were discovered on New Faces. In addition to being well-paid for the modeling assignment, hair models often receive free hair products from the company as well as digital copies of photos from their hair modeling sessions. But the most important compensation they earned is their instant shot to even greater modeling fame.

With hair modeling, models have the opportunity to be presented as the fashion industry's top models while hair stylists advertise their craftsmanship with glamour.

Top hair stylists and companies around the globe capitalize on fashion hair shows and use live models in order to exhibit their artistry and creativity as saloon experts. For instance, Goldwell of Arizona is presently casting for hair models for their hair fashion show.

Child modeling : The American Girls Fashion Show

A show that highlights the fashion sense and charisma of child models is coming to town – the American Girl Fashion Show.

The program showcases historical fashions from the American Girl character like daywear, sleepwear, casual ware up to to the contemporary fashion of today's girls. Additionally, the show includes dress-like-your-doll outfits from Bitty Baby. In it, young girls are also made aware of the many wonderful things that comes with modeling – elegant refreshments, prizes, and how kids fashion have changed for centuries.

So who says that little children cannot make it to professional modeling, now? For one, artists have used young and tender models to post for countless works over the century.

Because of the visible success of young children who instantly become media stars, there are more and more children with their respective parents who wanted to pursue a modeling career for their children. Most of the time child models are only known by the companies where they are connected, when they introduced their selves first to the company.

For aspiring child models, they see to it that they contacted a modeling agency themselves or has entered their portfolios in beauty contest, mall shows, and of course portfolio sites like New Faces.
