BARBIZON:  Great question, Lisa!  There are several qualities that makes a good runway model.  1)  She’s never late; always on time. 2) She is prepared with a model’s tote bag. 3) She should fit into garments with little or no alternation.  4) She is objective and willing to wear garments that she mays not like personally.  5) She is cooperative with staff and other models.  6) She is businesslike and professional and realizes that her job is to sell garments on the runway and make them look appealing to the audience.

BARBIZON: Great question, Clarissa! Because each Barbizon School is individually owned, it would depend. However, most accept those between the ages of 5-17. Please contact the Barbizon in your area to see what their age requirements are. You can find the location nearest you by visiting the Location Finder on our website http://www.barbizonmodeling.com.
