If you’re just starting out as a model and you’re considering catwalk modelling then you’ll need to learn how to step out in style. Follow these simple steps to get started.
You need to be comfortable walking in up to 4 inch heels. If you’re unused to walking in heels then start with a low heel and work your way up. If you are walking in new shoes then either scratch the sole, or cover it with masking tape to give you extra grip.
In modelling, good posture is essential. Pull your shoulders back and push your pelvis forward, almost as if you’re leaning back. Keep your eyes up and focus on an object directly ahead of you.
As you walk make sure to put one foot directly in front of the other, as if you are walking along a tightrope. At the end of the catwalk, place your left foot forward, pause with your body facing the side of the runway and turn. Your walk will restart with your right foot and you should make sure you turn your face away from the audience last.
It’s important to practice and re-practice until you feel comfortable with your walk. You will usually be asked to show off your walk at model casting calls. These can be in rooms of very different sizes so make sure to practice your walk for different distances.
Once you’ve perfected your walk, sign up with our text service to receive up-to-date information on model auditions. You will receive no more than 3 texts a week, costing just £1.50 per text. Please be aware you must be over 18 to use this service.
