What to Wear!

Models Direct 


If you feel like you're failing to impress, then the way you dress might have something to do with it in one way or another. If you think this might be the case, it's time to go shopping! Fashion is not just the garments you buy, but the way you combine them for a greater effect. The moment you hit the mark, you'll know about it and so will those around you.

Shopping on a budget can be a pain, but its a necessity for the majority of people. Knowing where to get the best buys and when the outlet stores have new stock coming in can make it a lot easier. Whether you are into labels or not, you can get some great quality garments from the outlet stores for half what they would be on the high street and in general they last longer and look better than the unbranded alternatives.

Dressing correctly is a deceptively simple concept. Obviously you won't wear a dinner dress to go to the supermarket, but it doesn't mean you have to wear sweat pants either. Making an effort and looking good have a direct effect on your general mood and demeanor. Those who take care of themselves and make good decisions regarding their health and looks are far less susceptible to modern day problems such as stress or insomnia because they build up a resilience and feel proud of themselves.

What Every Model Should Know about Sugar

Models Direct take every effort to provide quality information on fitness and health; encouraging beneficial ways of staying on top of your shape and having a sustainable life style. After the binge eating of chocolate and sweets over the festive period, the team at Models Direct thought it would be a great idea to look at some (harsh!) facts about sugar and compiled this article in the hope that you can learn something that can benefit your day to day, whether you are a model or not. In the UK, obesity and type 2 diabetes are on the rise year on year. It has been observed that this may correlate with an increase in caffeine consumption. Sugar consumption is directly linked to coffee drinking. Scientists say that sugar is the most damaging component of the modern day diet!

Sugar contains no nutrients. It is also devastating to tooth enamel. You have probably heard this a lot before, but it is so easy to forget when you’re out and about on your day. Everything these days has added sugar and its nearly impossible to avoid it. Even fruit waters are 5-10 percent sugars. The worst types of sugars are sucrose and high fructose corn syrup. These do your body absolutely no good. They don’t contain any proteins, fats, vitamins or minerals. They are just instant energy and it is for this reason that they are called empty calories. If you have 400 calories per day worth of sugars, and only eat 2000 calories, you will still experience malnutrition as if you had only consumed 1600 and lost out on essential vitamins and nutrients. Sugar is also devastating on the liver. It enters the blood through the digestive system and is broken down. The resulting simple sugars are called glucose and fructose. 
Models Direct
You will know these names but perhaps not what they do, what they are used for and what too much of them can do to us. There is one major difference between them, glucose exists in every cell of every living thing on the planet. If we don’t consume it, our bodies actually produce it for us. Fructose is not produced by the body because we don’t need it. Fructose can only be used by our livers in small amounts, when there is an excess it converts it to glycogen and holds on to it until it is needed. If it fills up though, and you have far too much fructose too often then it turns it into fat. A fatty liver can become a serious health concern in the medium term. Remember that sugars in fruits are not under this bracket. Fruit juices on the other hand might have added sugars to over sweeten a sour harvest. The rule is to read the label and make a conscious effort to change old habits for the better.

Models Direct Tips for Buying Vintage

Models Direct Tips for Buying Vintage


Having been in the modelling industry for over 20 years, Models Direct are one of the most established modelling agencies in the UK. When it comes to textiles we have to remember that they are not very durable and that some of the vintage items you come across might not have been kept in the best conditions. When on the hunt for great bargains you may come across some lovely pieces that have moth holes in them or need a thorough clean. A stain at waist can be hidden with wide belt and a small hole can be darned, but the general rule is that if you can’t clean it or repair it easily; don’t buy it. These kinds of items are more trouble than they’re worth, especially if you’re planning to resell them.

If you’re lucky enough to have a curvaceous figure then don’t be afraid to try different styles because this is the best way to learn what works for your body and what doesn’t. Bringing along a friend who can be honest with you when you’re shopping for something new can really help this process. Remember that dresses are a staple of your wardrobe, so buying one that fits well and makes you look and feel great means that you are much more likely to get a lot of wear out of it.

Vintage dresses aren’t just for special occasions, they are also a comfortable choice for work and can be toned up or down with the right shoes and accessories, so it’s essential to find the style that works for you. If vintage items just need a freshening up it’s very important to know what type of wash they can withstand. Many items from the 80’s, 70’s, or even 60’s can be thrown in washing machine on a low heat without suffering because they’re usually made from man-made fabrics. If you are going to buy older pieces, keep in mind that they will need dry cleaning or hand washing, so factor in these expenses especially if adding a mark-up for resale.

Models Direct Walk the Walk


Models Direct look to the catwalk to give the best modelling platform to its aspiring talent.

Modelling isn't an exact science. It's about going with the flow, being in the moment and adapting. Developing your own style of walking doesn't mean coming up with a way to walk in a fashion show that's never been seen before. No need for that level of creativity (so if you're thinking that blowing a kiss and kicking up your heel each time you get to the end of the runway is a great idea, don't do it!).

Models Direct

For the love of all things modeling: keep it simple. You'd be surprised how much more of an impact subtlety will get you when it comes to this topic.

The more you practice your walk, the more you'll start doing little things that make you feel at your best whenever you're strutting. This could be anything from adding a touch more sway to your hips (for women) to shooting a sexy smirk when you pose at the end of the runway (in female modelling or male modelling).

Models Direct offer a springboard into the industry alongside its years of expertise in the modelling business. Check out this video for more about modelling with Models Direct.
