Petite Models are hired by the petite divisions of major fashion designers. These models must be pretty and healthy looking with a wholesome appeal. Liz Claiborne, Sears and JC Penney often book petite models for beauty ads (skin, hair and make-up) where size is irrelevant.
Plus-Size Models are an increasingly busy category of models. Designers are finally recognizing the fact that the average American woman is a size 14 and can't identify with a size 6 model. Plus Models may be large-boned with broad shoulders and full hips and usually have beautiful, classic facial features.
Sophisticated Modeling includes those models who defy the signs of aging and some, often veterans of the modeling industry, continue to model into the prime of their 30's and 40's. Our Sophisticated Division helps develop the careers of these more mature models ages 30 and above.
Fitness Modeling has grown as health and fitness has moved more into the public consciousness. Fitness attire has continued to evolve and become more everyday wear. Add to this all of the fitness, health, and outdoor lifestyle magazines that are on the newsstands and you have a fast growing category for modeling.
