5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for any model, beginning or pro...., October 2, 2004
By 
K. Murphy "Model Fan" (Chicago, Il, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Guide for Models: Inside Advice from Industry Pros for Fashion Modeling (Paperback)
I loved this book because it gave me specific advice about all the different types of models, and the specific requirements for each specialty. It had interesting and informative stories, directly from supermodels, agents, and magazine editors. It also had beautiful color photographs illustrating poses, and "behind the scenes" of photoshoots. I would reccomend it to any beginning model, the parent of a model, or a model looking to come to NYC.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Loved the interview with Supermodel, Carmen Dell'Orefice., June 2, 2005
This review is from: Complete Guide for Models: Inside Advice from Industry Pros for Fashion Modeling (Paperback)
It was really informative hearing from a model who has modeled for 50+ years. I recently saw Carmen Dell'Orefice in a runway show in NYC, and she looks great. Great interview, great photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars I learned alot from this book, May 21, 2005
This review is from: Complete Guide for Models: Inside Advice from Industry Pros for Fashion Modeling (Paperback)
I live in a small town in California, and i want to be a model. I always dreamed of going to NYC and being a runway model. I asked a few of the agencies in nearby towns, but they didnt know much about NYC. I got this book, and it answered alot of questions i had about modeling. The modeling schools near me charged alot of money, to take classes, but i learned just as much from this book. I can't wait to go to NYC now.
