Kate Moss is arguably the most famous supermodel in the world. She rose to fame during the Heroin Chic model movement in the 1990s and despite waves of controversy over the years, remains one of the most highly demanded models to this day. Kate grew up in an unassuming family in Surrey, but was spotted at an airport when she was only 14 years old by the founder of Storm Model Management. Following a black and whiter ‘grunge’ photoshoot when she was sixteen, Kate went on to become famous for her contrast to the supermodels of the time, who tended to healthy, tall and curvaceous. She has won many awards over the years, including ranking highly in several ‘Sexiest Women’ lists, modern muses and rich lists. Kate Moss has worked with many of the leading international fashion  brands, including Calvin Klein, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Rimmel and Bulgari. She has been on the cover of countless magazines, including Vogue, Vanity Fair and the Face. Kate has branched out from modelling and has been a fashion icon for the boho-chich movement and has even designed her own collection. She has also launched fragrances and body lotions bearing her name. Kate’s personal life has been a focus for controversy and media interest, with partners ranging from Johnny Depp to the infamous Pete Doherty. She’s now married to Jamie Hince, the guitarist for The Kills. Her drug use has often been in the headlines, and while a cocaine scandal temporarily caused negative publicity, it doesn’t appear to have affected her earning power, which is higher than ever.

I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move. Georgia O’Keeffe I’m not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It’s more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part. Kim Weston The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates. Dave Barry Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today. Tyra Banks Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy sexy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don’t think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy sexy. Chloe Sevigny Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies. Marshall McLuhan The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new. Karl Lagerfeld So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too. Heidi Klum If you want to break into modelling with Capri Models, then visit our website and register...

Lots of people want to become a model, but some are more successful than others. Capri Models explains the right steps to take to give yourself the best chance of finding success as a model. Step One – Decide if you really want to be a model Think about the reasons for wanting to become a model, and though it might be hard, try to assess yourself realistically for model potential. Are you taller than average, do you have exceptionally clear skin and are you photogenic? Step Two – Do some research Read up on the industry, what’s expected from you and what you can expect. Find out about the major modelling agencies, how they work, where they’re based and what their guidelines are like. You can also contact a modelling support company such as Capri Models, who can give you an independent assessment for modelling potential and help you put together an action plan. Step Three – Make sure you have support If you’re under eighteen, then you can’t be a model without your parent’s consent, so you need to discuss it with them, and make sure they’re on side. The chances are they’ll probably get as excited about the idea as you, and will help you on your way. Step Four – Submit your photos to an agency Read their guidelines carefully and make sure you follow them to the letter and don’t forget anything. Then you’ll have to wait to see what they say. It’s fine to submit to a few agencies at once, but only do as many as you’ll be able to take rejections. Rejection is part of life for a model, and no reason to give up too soon. Step Five – Be professional If you’re lucky enough...

As with many things, location is a key factor in the success or failure of a model. As the team at Capri Models knows, proximity to jobs means you can get there faster and cheaper, and in the fast moving fashion industry, quick turnaround is often a deal breaker. As a general rule, big cities offer many more opportunities than smaller places, as the clients and agencies are concentrated there. There are four major fashion capitals in the world: Paris, Milan, New York and London (where Capri Models is based). Classic elegance – Paris   Paris has a long standing history as a centre of art and fashion and is home to several prestigious fashion houses. It is known for the classic timeless elegance of the designs that are born there. It has an up market high fashion shopping district where all the most exclusive labels can be found. Milan – home of Italian Fashion In 2009 Milan was declared the top economic and media capital of fashion. There are a great many world famous Italian fashion brands which have their main headquarters located in the city, including: Valentino, Gucci, Versace, Prada, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana. Milan Fashion Week is held twice a year and is one of the Holy Grails for catwalk models. Fashion in the States – New York The only recognised fashion capital outside of Europe, New York is a metropolitan city that never sleeps and is home to the cutting edge of innovation is style and culture. New York Fashion Week, branded Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek in 2009 is held in February and September every year – and was originally the first ever fashion ‘week’. The island trendsetter – London London has a long history as a trendsetter and leader in...

So, you submitted your photos to a modelling agency and they’ve invited you in for an interview. Congratulations! You’re already further than the majority of aspiring models. This article gives tips and advice on how to give yourself the best chance of shining in the interview and impressing the agent into wanting to sign you up. Note – if a modelling agency has signed you up without meeting you in person, they are almost certainly not a genuine modelling agency. How to behave Try to stay calm, be yourself and be professional. It’s natural to be nervous and the agents will be used to that. Make sure you listen carefully to what they ask and answer truthfully – don’t try to just tell them what you think they want to hear. They’ve done this hundreds of times and will be able to spot it a mile off. And even if you could fool them, it would only come back to bite you in the bum later. Nervousness often makes people babble. If you find yourself doing this then pause, take a few deep breaths and try to bring whatever you’re saying to a neat conclusion. How to look   The objective is to show how versatile you can be as a model, and that means being a blank canvas, so the keyword here is subtlety. Wear something simple, smart and comfortable. Simple means that your personality won’t be too in their face; smart will demonstrate that you’re mature and are taking the process seriously in a professional manner; and comfortable means that you won’t be fidgeting or struggling because of your dandy but impractical outfit. Avoid brand names and don’t overdo it on make-up. They will want to see what you look like naturally,...

If you go online and search for Capri Models Reviews, you’ll see a lot of questions asked about the legitimacy of this firm. There are people asking whether Capri Models is a scam, or a genuine company that can help people get started in modelling, and indeed whether Capri Models is a modelling agency. The idea of Capri Models being a scam agency is simply misinformation. If you take the time to look into things properly, you will quickly find that Capri Models isn’t a modelling agency at all, and nowhere does it claim to be. So those that are complaining that Capri Models is a ‘fake modelling agency’ have got the wrong end of the stick. It’s true, Capri Models can’t guarantee that you’ll make it as a model, and some people will be dissappointed if they have unrealistic expectations. However, nobody can guarantee you’re going to make it as a model – there are simply too many unknown factors, and you must be very wary of anybody who makes such promises. So, Capri Models can’t offer you a modelling contract, and will not offer to find you modelling work. What Capri Models can do is prepare you and give you the best chance at getting signed with an agency. This is through advice, and professional services relating to modelling.

Test has assessed the best breast!  A Doctor has worked out what makes the perfect boobs – after carefully analysing 100 page 3 girls. Plastic surgeon Patrick Mallucci identified four key features during a three-month study. First, the part of the breast lying below the nipple was ten% fuller than that above it – like those of page 3 girl Hollie (right) and model Kelly Brook (below). Next, the nipples themslves were angled upwards at 20 degrees. Finally the skin sloped flatly or inwards above the nipple, and curved outwards below it. Dr Mallucci explained: The nipple meridian – a horizontal line drawn at the level of the nipple lay at a point such that the proportion of the breast above it was 45% and 55% below The more breasts deviate from these measures the less attractive they are regardless of size! His findings were published in the “International Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive an Aesthetic Surgery”. Doctors can now use them to ensure perfect boob jobs. What do you think? And do you have the perfect boobs! Tell us your thoughts on this subject or even email us photos of yourself to see if you fit the...
