Term of the Day: Editorial Modeling

Word of the Day: Editorial Modeling

A model who works for publications to produce photographs to illustrate articles and editorials. The physical requirements are often less strict than those for High Fashion modeling, and editorial experience opens doors. This work is very eagerly sought after by fashion models because of the exposure it provides.

Fashion Editorial
Requirements tend to differ according to the style and target audience of the magazine. For a glossy, high fashion publication such as Vogue, physical requirements will be quite strict.

General Interest Editorial
This includes magazines on computing, health, collectibles, and hobbies. Height and build requirements are often quite relaxed in comparison to high fashion modelling.
