So You Want to Be a Victoria’s Secret Model? Here’s What you Need.


Even if you’re busy still looking for the right modeling agency in Pennsylvania to represent you, it’s likely that you have the dream of making it big as a model in the back of your head. Perhaps one of the biggest achievements any model can reach is being part of the Victoria’s Secret lineup of models, who each year, walk down the runway in a grand fashion show to promote VS’s latest collection of lingerie.

If being a Victoria’s Secret model is a goal of yours (hey, if you’re going to dream, dream big), here’s what you need to know and have.
Models
Measurements, Height and Age

As with most other high fashion agencies and houses, Victoria’s Secret hires models that usually stand between 5’8” and 6’. Besides height, VS models must meet specific measurement characteristics, the better for designer clothes to hang on them. Since Victoria’s Secret’s main products are lingerie, models must have the coveted hourglass figure to wear them. A model with a 34-inch chest, a 24-inch waist, and 34-inch hips is perfect, although slight variations are more than acceptable, especially if a model has other desirable traits, such as beautiful facial features.

Age is also another important factor for Victoria’s Secret models. Since VS makes a habit of investing in models for the long run, younger models are usually desired. Victoria’s Secret’s main market is composed of young women, but not too young. Rookies should at least 18-years-old, but not older than 22.

Body

Victoria’s Secret models are often referred to as goddesses, and for good reason. Models under the fashion house must be in great physical shape, capable of modeling revealing lingerie and walking down runways in high heels on live television or at the very list, in front of a highly esteemed panel of casting directors.

At the very least, Victoria’s Secret models have to have full lips, high cheekbones, small nose, smooth skin, glossy hair and a toned body.

Personality

One of the most common factors aspiring models forget when applying at modeling agencies in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country, is personality. Victoria’s Secret models don’t just model lingerie, they play an active role in promoting VS’s clothes. Victoria’s Secret models may look ravishing, but their appeal is mainly towards women, so it’s important for models to be friendly, outgoing, professional and courteous. Indeed, a Victoria’s Secret model should be beautiful both inside and out.
