Bitch, I'm a MALE MODEL: This is Why

10/10/2017

The basics are always fundamental, that's why thanks to ALLEZ MAGAZINE we have the essential tips on how to become a successful male model.

1. Modelling is not your average 9-to-5 job.


Everything from the hours you work, to the time frames between jobs is far from traditional. There will be times initially when you wonder when your next job will ever arrive, and then once things get going there will be periods when it’s so busy that you’ll wonder when you’ll ever get your next day off. If you like variety, it’s great, but if you’re looking for something secure and consistent, then it’s probably not for you.
2. You'll become a seasoned traveller - just don't expect much sightseeing.
Travelling has got to be top of the list when it comes to things you might not expect from modelling when you start out. From when I first got scouted, I have been on the move ever since. You will usually fly in for one- or two-day shoots, then get straight into a cab and on to the studio. Sightseeing is rare but you get skilled at doing it from the cab window. Sometimes you're on location, which is usually amazing. A production team scout out places to shoot off the tourist track so you get to experience places, spaces, venues, people and culture that you wouldn’t normally get to see - it’s definitely one of the perks of the job. There can be a lot of waiting around though so make sure you have a hobby, and preferably one that keeps you occupied on long-haul flights too.
3. Learn how to pack in a hurry.

Speed-packing has to be learnt sooner rather than later. With phone calls coming in more often than not saying; “Today, you're off to New York for a few days” you’ve got to hone your packing skills. Quickly.
4. Be prepared to cancel all your plans for a job.
Birthdays, holidays, weddings, football games or just a night out at the pub have to be cancelled at the drop of a hat, and that can mean peeing off people off who you’ve promised you will be there for. It’s tricky as you don’t want to let people down or miss out but you (and they) get used to it - it comes with the job.
5. Don’t have your hair cut without talking to your agent.
Changing your hair style without talking it through can be costly in this game. A few inches off the side could cost you a huge ad campaign as you don’t know who’s considering you based on images your agent has sent to them based on a particular look. Longer is always better. To be safe, leave it - you can always cut it on a big job.
6. It's not just a young man's game.
Modelling is a career which can last from your youth to when you’re older. The demand for different looks is really diverse so when you’re still growing and not quite as filled out, you are perfect for some campaigns, then as your body grows that opens up different campaigns and opportunities. Also, you can be deemed too big one day and too skinny the next day, without your body changing at all. You soon learn that you’ve not changed, it’s just that brands have different fits and the shape that suits a particular brand’s clothes, might not size up for you.
7. It never gets any easier to tell people you're a model.
There’s still a lot of stigma around male modelling so when you're asked, “What do you do?” some people look down on it.
8. Learn how to get dressed in the back of a car.
You must be prepared to be available to get changed anywhere, in any conditions and fast. You shoot outside a lot, which can mean getting changed in the back of a car or van. Just do it without any complaints and you’ll go far.
9. Make the most of the parties.
You get to go to some of the best parties in the world. The fashion industry really know how to throw a good bash and as a normal guy from Hitchin, I’m lucky to go to a few. It’s great fun, you meet some amazing people, get to experience things you’d never thought you’d experience and collect some good memories along the way.
10. Pace yourself.
You need to look your best when you’re out and about. During fashion week that’s especially true - you're up at 6am for work and out until the early hours of the morning at events and parties. It can take its toll over a few days, so you need to learn to pace yourself.

TIP: Selfies Like a Male Model

10/4/2017

Taking a fun selfie is always a MUST. It can attract the right kind of person on Tinder, get you the attention you desire on Instagram, and most importantly it will blow up your private message boxes asking for a little personal time with you. But what if you don't feel really, really handsome right now? Just follow these four rules, as taught to us by the best in the biz: male models, of course. Take a deep breath, stop slouching, and listen up.

Rule # 1:
A selfie is only a selfie if (surprise) you are taking a photo of yourself. A photo taken by your girlfriend or co-worker isn't a selfie. So take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with your phone's buttons. The pros use the top volume button to take a picture instead of the actual camera button.
Rule # 2:
Stage your shot. Make sure there's something cool or interesting sharing the photo with you, like a plane, a limousine, a baller hotel room, the backstage area at a fashion show, or your really cool friends. Just go easy on babies and animals.

Rule # 3:
Find your light. Make sure your face is being lit in a flattering manner. Avoid being backlit unless for artistic purposes, in which case that's so creative!
Rule # 4:
Smile, squint a little, show off your abs, wave, give us a peace sign, or pull your best "blue steel." Whatever you do, do something. Nobody wants to see you looking constipated alone in your office. Which leads us to the last selfie rule.
Rule # 5:
Have fun. The most important lesson male models can teach us is how to live our best lives. Say, for example, you're at an after-party in a hot hotel. Go out on the balcony with your friends and capture that moment. Then go eat a shitload of tacos and tweet about it.

Picture
Allez Magazine's THE FASHION ISSUE is one of the most talked-about publications this season. Thanks to the internet, we were able to find an allegedly-leaked cover for THE FASHION ISSUE, which brags 6 covers per city. Our sources indicate that the Los Angeles leaked cover is a part of a series of distinct covers featuring some of the industry's most-popular fresh faces, including Garret Weston (featured).

The magazine, which has prominent circulation in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and internationally in Brussels and Tokyo, is celebrated for its high-quality content and editorials. Rumors of the 120-page magazine range from Nigel Barker giving an exclusive one on one interview to Naomi Campbell discussing her latest anti-aging serum series.

We won't know for sure until THE FASHION ISSUE officially launches this spring, but what we do know is that everyone from one coast to another is waiting to grab a copy of Allez.
