That is so true about the asian models. You can be a bit shorter but HAVE to be thinner this was a great video :)

[@TatianaKurnosova]

[@g-inlasgna2046]

Hi Tatiana, I will add that when you have worked in a Primary market like Paris, it often leads to lucrative contracts in the secondary markets. It did for me when I was in my 20's, I modeled in Paris and then the owners of Zucca approached me after I walked in Jean-Louis Scherrer Haute Couture. They offered me a lucrative contract and I spent 30 days in Tokyo modeling the collections there and I made twice as much as my guarentee. Are the Tokyo agencies still offering those contracts? Mine was for 10,000 but I made more than two times that. Modeling in the primary markets adds a lot of prestige to a modeling career and helps the model get work in other markets.

Hi Jamil, yes, they still do this, but not that often, especially since the pandemic situation... Everything has changed. And btw it was so nice to hear your story. Do you still continue working?

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

I found this so helpful and informative, i used to work with models when I first graduated and the model industry has changed so much since then so it’s helpful to know what it is like today!

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Thank you ❤ Oh, I've noticed that you studied in Parsons, it's so amazing! What are you up to now? Just curious 😊

[@ColdBrewBarbie]

Tatiana Kurnosova I still work in fashion, I work for a larger company instead of a design house!

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Hi again Tatiana. Good video you posted here. :D

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Hi Carlos, thanks so much! And good to hear from you, hope you're doing well 😊☀️

[@playgamescarlos]

@@TatianaKurnosova I'm doing great thank you! ^Hugs^

[@yourcolorfulplate1263]

Great information! I'm just curious. Are there any secondary markets/cities in the U.S.A.? I really enjoyed your video!

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear it! :) When I think of secondary markets in US, the first ones that come in mind are Miami, Dallas and Chicago. There are plenty of commercial jobs in Chicago and there's even a swimwear fashio week in Miami, so these 2 cities are really good for modeling. I guess there are some jobs in almost every city with average population, you just need to do some research and find the right clients :)

[@yourcolorfulplate1263]

@@TatianaKurnosova I'm surprised Atlanta isn't one since they have so much film and music production. Also, L.A., that's surprising. Thanks for the info. I would've never guessed Dallas and Chicago.

Thanks for the tips!

You're welcome :)

[@galimualem]

Can you do a video about plus size models?

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Maybe I will in the future. At the moment I’m less focusing on modelling- related content.

[@dxcmodelacademy8879]

Hi Tatiana please are African models / black models welcome in the asian market ? I’ll be glad to get a feedback thanks

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Hello, unfrotunately black models aren't really popular in Asian markets. Although the situation is slowly changing and I've been seeing more of black / mixed models there, still the situation isn't that good. They usually choose the models who seem to look like "a bit Asian", for example if the black model has the eyes that can look Asian with certain make-up or if she has a baby face, because baby faces are highly requested in Asia too. The different case scenario is if African / black model already has a student visa or work permit (working visa) in Asian country, then it's possible to successfully work there. Same as if she's already famous. It's sad, but Asian markets aren't so diverse yet.

[@GenovNaoki]

Are the requirements lower for asian market ? Im a male and i would like to become a model in South Korea but I only measure 175cm.

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Hello, for male models the lowest height in professional modeing in Asia is ~ 182 cm. It doesn’t mean it’s absolutely impossible to work there if you’re not that tall, but it will be harder and also many things depend on your overall visual appearance, experience + visa status. If you already have an appropriate type of visa, it will be easier to find the right path / niche in the industry. I recommend you to check my playlist about modeling in Korea kzbin.info/aero/PL2n0G6Jp9TLbFD-24OCtnqf4r1SyWS5cT&si=fmPmd5RbvitaVhRN I share helpful advices there and explain details about visas too. And watch my videos about the basics of modeling too, it will help you understand how everything works. If you’re serious about this career, you may consider having a model coaching session with me - I will help you out and we’ll create an effective and realistic career - plan for you. You can find the details about it here tatianakurnosova.com/index.php?page=Coaching Anyways, wishing you best of luck!

[@caseyphariss1615]

Wow the requirement list is quiet long. I had no idea it was that hard to do modeling

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Yes, it's a taugh industry, but still worth trying if you're passionate about it :)

[@caseyphariss1615]

@@TatianaKurnosova anything is worth trying as long as you're passionate about it. It's something I never got into. I always loved art

Hi !! I am 5'2 and from india. If i want to succeed as a petite model. From which country should i start from

[@TatianaKurnosova]

Hi and thank you for watching 💜 If talking about petite modeling, unfortunately everything isn’t that easy. I always recommend to start working in your home country first, then thinking about opportunities worldwide.

[@orangejuice1522]

If you work with these secondary places (eg japan or China) do you have to live there?

[@TatianaKurnosova]

No, not necessarily. You either get a contract there via your Mother Agency (usually it's a short term contract for 2-3 months) or move there.
