Where a fashion model can go next

3 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a fashion model already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Fashion models help promote products such as clothes, cosmetics and appliances by posing for journalists, photographers and in front of an audience on catwalks. They have to make sure their appearance is always in order. Fashion models need to look good in front of a camera and strike the right pose.
