Asian models? I am very into modeling and not trying to be mean or controversial but I don't see many Asian women as top models.Or even models at all.Are they genetically not cut out for modeling perhaps? Such as many of them lack height and many have short legs and long torsos.I don't know.Don't get angry either just because they aren't cookie cutter "model" types doesn't mean they aren't beautiful! What do you think is the reason they're aren't very many Asian models? |
| It's exactly what you said, too short, too long of torso's, and their legs aren't long. And if you have noticed, most models have big eyes, something asians don't have unless they had surgery. |
Do you think Asian models get much work in Australia or USA? I really want to model and I'm Chinese, I feel that there aren't many asian models in Australia ( country I'm living in atm) or in the US (I want to live there when I'm older). Do you think Asian models get as much work as the blondes and brunettes? Do you think I could have potential to be a really well known model? I really look up to tyra banks, miranda kerr and heidi klum. |
only a handful, unfortunately. i think alot of asian women have very beautiful features but i think alot of them are too short to be runway models. i know that there is one asian victorias secret model (her name skips my head), and the japanese models ai tominaga and anne watanabe are top runway models and have campaigns with top designers.
i think youd have to really offer modelling agencies something new. i think non-european girls have to work so much harder to become successful models. particularly because the eastern-european look is very popular on the runways, you might have to work really hard. if you really want it and you work your butt off, theres nothing that says you cant be as successful as your idols. |
Is it me or are there barely any asian models? Anyone notice that these days?? 1 out of like 20 models are asian. And for some reason a lot of people I know think white women are like the "Beauty Standard" of america.
What is up with this???
Is anyone else noticing the lack of asian models or am I hallucinating? |
| Well, the majority of Americans are white so the majority of American models are white. It isn't a racist conspiracy, there just aren't many Asian women in America who fit the profile of a typical model. You'll find the same lack of diversity for Native American, Middle Eastern, and Latina models. |
Where can I find calendars and posters with Japanese or other Asian models and actresses. ? I have to get my 17 year old nephew a Christmas present and he likes Asian decor. It's stretching it a bit but I want to get him a calendar or posters with Japanese or other Asian models and actresses. It should be something in decent taste, not nude. |
It's just a part of so many web sites about J-Calendars. Some of the calendars may have adult issue because of demand and supply you have to have sort of attention in advance.
You'd better PG mode button first to avoid any embarrasing circumstance. The online shop can sell to overseas internationally. There is FAQ detailed about shipment to out of Japan.

Do you think there should be more Asian models that work internationally? i personally think the whole brazilian-european dominance is getting kinda old. there are females all over the world that will look just as beautiful, and even more unique on the runway or in mags/catalogs.
but i dont see them anywhere!! take victoria's secret. they dont have one asian model.
so what is your opinion?
=] |
| I definitely think there should be. Height is not an issue. If you look at Hong Kong and Shanghai Fashion Weeks, the catwalks are full of tall, gorgeous Asian models. I also worked on a shoot in Taiwan and the shortest female model there was 5'10" so there are tall Asian girls. |
Do you guys know any famous asian models? If so could you please tell me?
I'm talking about professional models, like high fashion, or been in magazines.
Because I search asian models, they give me inaporpoiate websites.
Thanks whoever tells me the most models (that are what i'm looking not porno or whatever) gets the points. |
There's a great blog all about Asian fashion models
asianmodelsblog.blogspot.com/ |
Are there any discriminations against asian models ? I'm asian and I feel as that most agencies don't want to hire asians or want to be their agency even if they have looks and the perfect body figure.
So this wouldn't take me go further into my modeling career like the famous ones Mirranda Kerr.
What do you think ??
I live in Brisbane btw and I'm 16. |
i personally think that some asian gals have a very sexy exotic look,some have very rare almond shaped eyes,that most model agencies scream for,i guess you just have to have what they want.Keep on trying,showing persistence might work
i live in Bundy,4 hours away from bris,im 17 |
Why are there so few Asian Models in America? I subscribe to alot of fashion magazines, and i stay very up to
date on current fashion trends. However i have noticed there are
extremely few Asian Models.. I see an increasing number
of Latin , Italian and Black models but few Asians...
It strikes me as strange because Asian women are beautiful!
I am mostly speaking of East Asian,
but i see even fewer Middle Eastern Models if any
whom are also very beautiful-in fact you never
see any Middle Eastern women in movies-i saw
one in Hidalgo i think, they usually get a white or
latin girl to play one, i would rather see more racial
diversity what do you think? |
| Yes racial diversity is great......but some cultures a modle is like the lowest on the totem pole. Such as arabic women. im sure u know about their culture.....cover up all exposed skin. As far as asian models in the industry i think its a height issue....not a cultural or the fact that they arent beautiful enough. to be a model u have to be tall extremely tall for a woman and i think thats why it is so hard to find them in the industry. |
Why arent there so many asian models in the world? im asian, well filipino and i wanna become a model but my cousin says that i will unlikely be one, and idk why?
-im not short or anything and im still growing and im pretty too..
-is it b/c asians have that exotic look and ppl dont like it, well the modeling industry? |
im asian
i dont think the reason there arent many asian models
is because of discrimination or
not liking their look
or anything like taht
usually asian women dont pursue this career
i mean you'll know where i am coming from
but they tend to chose more "brainy" jobs..
lol
i think you should try
and (no offense) ignore your cousin lol
hope this helps |
Why do Americans always use funny looking Asian models? There are so many other beautiful models in Asia. Americans or Europeans seem to always choose extremely high cheek-boned, extremely slented eyed Asian models who are not at all attractive compared to those who appear on the media in Asia. Strange |
| Yeah well, some of the black girls they use are black as tar. Not your 'usual' black girls either. |
