Here is a selection of tips and guidelines from experts and international modeling schools for good manners, well-practiced movements and posture and some attitudes that will make your class stand out.
HOW TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
GOING UP AND DOWN STAIRS
When going up or down a flight of stairs, remember to be gentle. Follow the finger rule, place your fingers on the handrail. Don't grab it with your whole hand and don't ignore it completely.
Safety is a graceful thing, so look in front of you. Don't lower your head to look at your feet (unless you feel you're about to fall). Keep your head up and your eyes straight ahead. It's not such a difficult task for a woman to adjust her field of vision and see what's around her.
One exercise that models do to maintain an air of grace and balance is to practice walking up and down stairs carrying a book or other object in their hands. This helps them maintain their balance and posture, even when their hands are not free.
They also practice going up and down stairs with their eyes closed, to help them learn to trust their balance and instincts.
They also practice wearing different types of shoes, such as high heels, sandals and sneakers. This helps them gain confidence in their ability to walk gracefully in different types of footwear.
GETTING IN AND OUT OF A CAR
When you get into the car, you should sit with both legs outside the car on the side of the seat, facing the open door and with your back to the car seat, then when you are seated, pull both legs into the car.
You should do the same when you get out of the car, especially if you're wearing a skirt, open the car door, put both legs out, turn your body and stand up gracefully.
WALKING
When walking, with each step, one foot should be directly in front of the other. Your feet should not stride parallel to each other as you walk. They should follow the same straight line. As well as elegance, this results in a more feminine gait.
You should also make an effort to keep your back and neck straight, because posture is extremely important.
Swinging your arms as you walk is natural, but make sure they don't make exaggerated movements to avoid looking awkward.
SITTING
When sitting on a chair or sofa, avoid bending over too much, maintain your posture and bend your legs, gently tilting your torso.
Crossing your legs is also not recommended; royalty has mastered this etiquette. For those who want to show politeness and refinement, this is a golden rule
BEHAVING AT THE TABLE
Elbows should be kept away from the table, only rest your forearms on it.
Never forget to speak with your mouth full or chew with your mouth open.
If you need a salt shaker or a plate that's on the other side of the table, don't reach over other people to get what you need. Instead, you should politely ask the nearest person to pass it to you.
Unsure how to use the cutlery? The classic tip is to wait for the others to start using it so that you can keep up the pace, whether it's an informal or formal meeting.
BENDING DOWN
Dropped something, need to get down? Bend your legs and lower your whole body. Leave the stiff to the gym.
SHOWING POLITENESS
It doesn't matter if you're taking part in a photo shoot, a friends' party or a fancy wedding. It's rude to be late. If there is an exact time of arrival, you should arrive five minutes early. Live by the rule: "If you're not early, you're late."
PROTECTING YOUR REPUTATION
Anyone in the film, music or fashion industry, as a rule, struggles to maintain a good reputation (although some don't). Models are taught to avoid getting drunk in public, where there will be photographers everywhere.
You may think "I'm not followed by paparazzi", but people close to you can still take pictures of you in an embarrassing situation, which is the last thing you want. These images could become public online, future employers could see the photos and refuse to hire you, or even jeopardize a future serious relationship.
BEING KIND
When talking to people, be kind, the magic word "Please" should always be on your lips and don't forget to say thank you.
Have you borrowed some clothes? Return it in good condition, and if possible, washed. The same goes for a book or anything else you've borrowed.
Kindness should be practiced at all times, in all places, with all people, even those who are serving you.
HAVING A GOOD CONVERSATION
Having a conversation? Avoid looking away, looking at your smartphone or being distracted. Pay attention. Don't interrupt all the time, listen, wait your turn.
CONCLUSION
Don't be alarmed if these practices seem a little difficult to incorporate, no one is born knowing, be patient and persistent in your journey of self-polishing, after all, every diamond goes through this.
