Fashion Models Carrer

The model who describes fashion as being in the most 'comfortable state' also believes that fashion is not about going over the top. Preeti Dhata is one lass who maintains a style statement that is edgy but yet colourful. Like any other bubbly girl, she also loves to go for movies, read books and indulges in gossip every now and then! Arguably the next big thing in the world of modelling, she gets candid in conversation with Stylekandy.com. 
Your early days. It all started with a metro ride, I was travelling by the metro and met a photographer who told me that I could make a career in modelling. I took it as a joke but I think that incident triggered it all. Best thing about being a model? Without any doubts, it has to be the travelling! It's a lot of fun hanging out with other models in a different city. In addition to that, we are in a field of fashion which is ever changing so I never bored.

Your style statement….Edgy yet colourful, I like short sweet dresses. But at the same time I have a good collection of various kinds of pants that I like to team up with funky shirts and gladiators or heels in footwear. I like things that are not too bizarre, but they should not be too boring also… Your fitness regime…Like many models, I'm not that blessed with a perfect figure, so I do have to maintain a lot. In order to stay in shape, I always try to follow a good and nutritious diet, and hit the gym 2-3 times a week.

Your beauty secret…I think using good skin products that suits your skin type and a good diet is every model´s beauty secret and mine is no different. What appeals to you more – walking the ramp or posing for print ads? They both are very different from each other but I like print, it gains more points because these days the shoots are not simple, they are very creative, thematic and challenging.

Do you agree that models are used as a hanger? This holds true only if models choose to be used as hangers. In my case, I don't think I am used as a mere hanger. Do you think that the Indian modelling industry has grown from past few years? The credit goes to whom? Fashion fraternity has really worked hard in bringing the industry to the position where it is now. Our designers have shown in Paris Fashion Week recently and have brought Indian fashion to international limelight. 
I think they are the major contributors to the immense growth that our industry has witnessed. Carrying the right look or the right attitude – Choose. I will go for both. It's like you cannot survive, if you lack either of them. It is most important to have an attitude that sets you apart from any other good looking face. Your favourite designer…Internationally, I love Karl Lager feld, Marc Jacobs… there are too many. Among the Indian designers.
I like Gaurav Gupta, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, Savio Jon…it's so hard to name just one. Your take on foreign models getting preferences in the Indian fashion weeks? Ah…I would say it totally depends on the look of the season. If designers feel that foreign models will fit into their theme, then it's totally their decision. Yeah…but I would like it if we get to see more Indian faces on ramp.

How do you cope with all the pressure and competition? I just do my work, focus on it rather than thinking about the competition. Tell us something, which most people don't know about? I have a secret crush on Milind Soman! (well, don't all girls do?) What next for you after modeling? Don't know yet, still have not thought about it. But I'm sure that it will not be something boring for me.

The Measurements -

The ideal measurements for female Indian models are 5'9", 34b x 24" x 34". If you find yourself within one inch of these parameters, then you have crossed half of the journey very well.  The fashion models are generally 5'7" to 6' height. These models are not necessarily beautiful, but one MUST have a well proportioned figure. It is highly important to give the exact measurements to the modeling agency, so you do not have to face a problem like the ‘clothes don't fit’ only as you gave the wrong information. For the male Indian models, the heights should be between 5'11" to 6'2" and the chest size should be between 40” to 42".

Further, send your pictures and resume to reputed modelling co-ordinators. You need to set-up appointments with them. Be punctual as these people are very busy. They will asses you and will tell you the whether you have it in you o not on the spot. If they reject you, do not give up yet. Each modeling agency is different, so always ask for any immediate changes (haircut, dental work, weight loss, skin treatment etc.) to work on it. And some coordinators and even former models offer training for fashion shows and print media. So, you can get trained through them easily.

If you get selected, then understand the further story. The modeling agencies make a commission on the model’s fee (15 to 20%). Be aware of some agencies that ask for money up front! Any reputed agency won’t do this. The coordinator or agency will introduce you with few photographers. It's totally up to you who you choose and pay the fee to the photographer not to the agency/coordinator. When you are given an assignment, keep copies of the papers like contracts. In future, you may need them in case you have a dispute. So, it is really wise to choose only the reputed agency or model coordinator very carefully, it will benefit you for long term career with them. Indian models that constantly change their agencies get a flighty and unprofessional reputation as a result. So refrain from this as much as possible.

Best of luck for your Indian Model Career

Model train scale info

Sure, you're planning to craft the ultimate model railroad blueprint this part of the river, "Just what scale do I choose to render this monster at home?" good, there's various things you need to think about and let's look at a number of of them.         

Firstly, a plain definition of scale on behalf of our objectives would the the compact scale comparative to the primary item being reproduced. The largely general model railroad magnitude is HO (Don Imus' favorite scale!) This is 1:87 in relation to the genuine machine. This scale is implemented by roughly 70% of model railroaders out there. Distinctions on this range include Hon3 and Nn3, which are slim gauge versions of the similar scale models. (narrow gauge meaning narrower gap flanked by the tracks.)      

HO is widely held very quite a few explanations. Firstly off, its scale lends it to mainly residential home set up devoid of being too tiny to be successful with. For area considerations and enlargeability HO serves good equally merely the ideal size for for the most part model railroad enthusiasts as the bare least for a nice design seems to be just about 4' X 8'. The scale of HO model trains could work good and demonstrate nicely. The HO scale also has by far the for the most part accessible and complete to roll kits, parts and accessories of whichever scale.       

Various collective scales include N(1:160), O(1:48), G(1:24) and Z(1:220). In attendance are additional scales than these, but they are not as much of mutual and tougher to obtain.       

N scale, is the subsequently plausible step down in scale from HO, being roughly partly its size. Part of either the charm and complexity of N scale trains and set up relates to their size. When it's undoubtebly awesome to have a miniature layout and you can unquestionably cover extra “ground” equally far as owning a replica of a greater area in a trivial room, toiling with models and landscape this tiny takes a batch of patience and certain darn fine motor know-how. (Watchmanufacturers jump to mind) This is due to the particularize handiwork on this finicky magnitude.
 
So for Z scale, the above applies in even added significance, equally this scale of model train is an additional third lesser, hence given that even additional challenges for those of us with either sizeable hands, failing eyesight or some various naturalutive problems.         

O scale was some time ago very widely held, and still holds roughly of that earliest status. A good number of of us had and maintain Old Lionel engines beating down the track, sounding prety genuine as it passes above rial joints and switches. This was the scale largely accepted being children's toys, since they were large enough to be impressive and playable.         

G scale had grow to be extra fashionable for backyard model railroaders. This 1:48 size tends to be the superlative scale in allowing for maximum function outside as well equally integrating well with existing and designed landscape. Yard management and the easiness of keeping your set-up landscaping under control are sure elements here, since you don't aspire to expend ALL your moment supervising the landscape. This is a significant basis why folks prefer the G scale, to be able to amalgamate two passions, model railroads and gardening.         

Currently for a word or two roughly speaking gauge. For a lengthy period and probably still, public have notions that size and gauge were interchangeable requisites, but that is not the basis. As mentioned on top of, scale is the size of the prototype in relation to the primary, and gauge is the measurement connecting the two rails of track. Gauge had been a difficult problem on behalf of model train traditionalists in the earlier period, as the proportions of the gauges almost always didn't match up with the scales being utilized, and as a result were historically and genuinely inaccurate. 
 
This led to the development of what came to be recognized as “finescale” values, which attempted to regulate the sizes for all concerned. When very much further accurately scaled, they however maintain had a difficult time being acknowledged by the mass-produced markets, as concerns same as buyer utilization and price have reared their unsightly heads. For the traditionalist, although, currently here is an answer to these questions!
