Many celebrated fashion women have made a name for themselves appearing on the pages of glossy men’s magazine. The most well-known of these being the cover of Sports Illustrated including Tyra Banks, Elle MacPherson and Petra Nemcova.
In recent times men's magazine favorites, such as Joanna Krupa & Emily Scott, have become household names as a result of this new type of media exposure.
Becoming a
bikini model isn't quite the same as becoming a top fashion model you see on the catwalks of Milan or the pages of Vogue. Top Fashion models are required to be between 5'9 and 6' and typically have bust-waist-hip measurements close to 34-24-34. Whereas there appears to be a little more lenience in the realm of swimsuit modeling.
Following steps you can take to get the better of the world of swimsuit modeling:
Enter Competitions - Many fashion magazine hold bikini competitions through various nightclubs & bar venues - this is a great way to get you noticed.
Approach Photographers - highly regarded photographers only, preferably photographers who have previously been published in the magazine you would like to appear in.
Approach Swimwear Companies - And other swimsuit related products. Maybe your friends uncle owns a surfboard company or a car company that uses bikini girls in their advertising, once you have some photos to add to your portfolio it makes everything easier.
Workout - Your body is going to have to be in top shape to even have a chance in this market.
