Practicing is key. Put on your high heels very often in your daily routine.
Get comfortable in every shoe regarding height and shape.
Watch Fashion week videos on YouTube from different designers.
Practice, practice, practice with different shoes and clothes. So you will be able to walk in any shoe for a show and you will still master the catwalk with self-confidence.
This is my step-by-step guide:
- Stand straight, erectness
- lock your hips,
- make your legs long,
- be self-confident,
- feel the certain clothes and feel good in them.
- Become the person which the brand stands for. Feel like a Dior girl, Gucci girl or any other brand’s girl.
- Focus on one spot on the horizon,
- feel the music and live the designer’s clothes.
- Start to walk and put your foot always in front of the other foot.
- Walk a line on the catwalk until the end of it.
- Find a good pose at the end of the catwalk. (It always depends on the designer which pose they wish for or if you have to turn around directly.) Always get consciously into your pose. Don’t stop abrupt at the end of the catwalk, which appears as if you are surprised and insecure that the catwalk is suddenly finished. Get self-confident into your pose hold it for around 4 seconds and then turn around and walk back.
- Practice the whole walk with your most uncomfortable high heels, normal high heels, flat shoes and barefooted.
It’s a huge difference in every outfit and shoe.
Watch the supermodels and imitate their walk and for sure find your own style. Watch how their posture is. Then practice as often.
There are many resources online to help you know how to accurately measure yourself. All you need is a tape measure, and preferably a friend to lend a hand. Make sure you’re using a soft/flexible tape measure (as opposed to a metal measuring tape – these will yield inaccurate results!).

The answer to this question depends on the market you are interested in pursuing. If you want to be a high fashion model, there are height and measurement requirements. However, in the commercial market, every shape, look, style, and age is in demand; this is because TV commercials and print advertising for products often target real people or everyday consumers.
You don’t need experience to start out. However, as with any career, sport, or artistic endeavor, experience is a vital part of the modelling/talent industry. You should always be training and improving your abilities in order to book an audition or job. The more experience you have on your resume, the more likely you are to impress casting directors. Therefore, new models and talent are often required to do non-paying work and training exercises to develop their skills and build their resumes.
No, but it certainly helps. If you are a model with national/international experience and an up-to-date fashion portfolio, you do not have to take a course at Mode Elle. Similarly, if you are an actor with a competitive talent resume and an up-to-date talent headshot, you do not need to take a course.
That being said, professional training for modeling and acting can be a big advantage in any highly competitive field. The skills and knowledge acquired during training can be applied to any other pursuit or endeavor. For example, our courses – especially the acting components – have helped students to:
- build confidence and self-esteem;
- present themselves more effectively to teachers and employers;
- dress effectively and appropriately;
- perform better in oral presentations and job interviews; and
- become better listeners and collaborators through improv training.
Models and actors are self-employed and work as independent contractors. By choosing to become a model or actor, you are essentially starting your own business, so you will need to make investments first. Like all goals worth pursuing, the success you achieve in this business depends on the quality and quantity of the time, effort, and resources you put into it.
A portfolio is very important. Not having a portfolio for a go-see or open call would be like showing up for a job interview without a resume. A portfolio helps you secure work by demonstrating your capabilities and potential as a model.
A portfolio is a collection of images that is built up over time, not in a single day. In order for an agency to market you, you will need, at minimum, a few good pictures. For fashion models in particular, building a portfolio can be a lengthy and expensive process; nevertheless, it is necessary in order to remain competitive and secure bookings.
For other models, such as those seeking work in television, fashion shows, and promotions, an extensive portfolio may not always be required. Similarly, actors do not require portfolios. Instead, actors should acquire talent headshots, slate shots, and demo reels to help convey their skills to potential clients.
Becoming a successful model or actor takes passion, perseverance, and commitment. You need to know your craft and be professional. If you are an actor, you need to know how to act. If you are a model, you need to be comfortable in front of the camera and on the runway.
