As an excellent model, you should not only have good physiological conditions and cultural foundation, but also have a certain understanding of clothing design, production, fabrics, accessories, music, stage lighting and so on. The following is a teaching video about model catwalk, hoping to help everyone.
Body Language in Fashion Show
Of course, we can't completely copy the actions in life. Although art comes from life, it must be higher than life to be more attractive. Take the hip swing of a model as an example. If you walk down the street with a model's ass, it will definitely give people a feeling of showing off. Someone will say you? What's the matter with you? . But why did the models put their hips on the runway, and not only did no one raise objections, but they were praised by people? This is because hip wagging is the exclusive action of fashion model to show clothing, a means to show elegance and self-confidence, a way to show ease and chic, and a body language to show clothing spirituality. When a model performs clothes on the stage, in order to show the spirituality and connotation of the clothes, she needs to integrate her good temperament and grace into the clothing display action, and show the charm and characteristics of the clothes in different environments in the action. Therefore, it is necessary to show the most exciting, relaxed, generous and energetic spirit in normal life, and at the same time exaggerate the movements in normal life on the performance stage, such as swinging arms and stepping, and increase the range of swinging hips to highlight the expressive force of clothing. These are all for one goal-to maximize the charm of clothing. Just like when people are happy or get carried away, they can't help twisting their waists. It can be seen that hip-swinging is not an artificial action of posturing, but a coordinated action of people in an excited state. It is a kind of body language, which can express different moods and artistic conception when used properly. Therefore, in the performance, it is not the same, but should be properly used according to the specific artistic conception, occasion and environment created by clothing and music.
Characteristics of fashion models
Similarly, the swing of the arm is not random, and it should be strong and slow, big and small according to the characteristics of the clothing. It can be said that the arm is a very expressive supporting role. In the process of performance, it is an important part of perfect modeling to assist the performance of the main body of clothing and cooperate with the appropriate hand shape when it appears.
It can be seen that the action in fashion show is to transform, modify, improve and beautify the action in life, and then show it naturally and smoothly in the performance, so that the action comes from life and has artistic characteristics, forming the unique body language of the model.
Model performance
In the process of performance, we often see many models with excellent physical conditions and natural performances, but they often forget that what should be shown is clothing, not the modeling posture of the model or the model himself. This happens because the model does not use display consciousness to guide body language movements in the performance, and it is difficult for the audience to form a deep impression on the clothing. A fashion show is not a beauty contest. Here, the model is just a carrier, not a center, and the center is the clothes to be displayed. Therefore, in the performance, there should be a sense of display from far and near, from dynamic to static. The professional mission of fashion models is to show the artistic charm and wearing effect of clothing to the maximum extent through the skills of dressing, footwork, body language and positioning appearance, to convey its unique vitality and elegant style to the audience, and to make the audience infected, intoxicated and shocked by the connotation of fashion performance. This is the purpose of the fashion show.
Model clothes
Whether in the east or the west, the aesthetic view of dress always requires to be achieved: people are clothes and clothes are people's. The most harmonious state. People's clothing is required to represent their personality, hobbies, ideals and interests, as well as their appearance, demeanor and temperament. If a person reasonably designs and chooses clothes according to his innate conditions, he will certainly achieve the best harmony. But as a model, we should use all kinds of expression methods to adapt to the specific image of various clothes. Therefore, it is not enough for fashion models to have good physical conditions, and it is not enough for them to perform optically. Because clothes are various, fashion designers have different design guidelines and different clothing connotations when designing each piece of clothes. If a designer can only show people's inner spiritual temperament and style charm through clothing, it is the most spiritual work design, then a model can also show the specific personality of clothing through appropriate spiritual temperament and style charm in performance, which is the most spiritual performance. Therefore, fashion models should be good at discovering the inherent vitality of clothing, expressing the connotation of clothing through the changes of their body language and various modeling postures, and conveying it to people. People feel this vitality through the display and performance of fashion models, so as to feel life and beauty, which is the best state that fashion models should achieve.
