What are the general height and age requirements for professional models?
Women should at least 5′7″ with measurements of approximately: bust 34 (a-c), waist 24, and hips 34. The best age for females to begin modeling is between 14 and 20. Men should be at least 5′11″ with measurements of approximately: jacket 40 to 42 and 31 waist. Men typically start their careers later then women – typically between 19 and 30. The above is typical of the largest segment of the market. Smaller, more competitive markets do exist, (for example petite models under 5′6″).
