Japanese Beautiful Model

How to move from glamour modeling to fashion model?

I started doing some "sexy" photographs, but I want to move to fashion, but I don't want to use these photos in my portfolio, as reputation is quite important, or should I use them to show my modeling experience? Any advice from a fashion model maybe? thanks

2. I have many freinds and colleagues in modelling. Every working model has "sexy" photographs in their portfolio; if you've ever been to a runway show, you'll see that the models are often almost naked. However, fashion models generally are built very differently from glamour models. You need to be 5' 9", and 34-25-34 (give or take an inch) to be a fashion model. And you really don't need a portfolio to get started in fashion modeling; if you are the right size and shape, they will see it imemdiately. If you're not, you're not.
3. It depends how tasteful the "sexy" pictures are - do they look like they could be in Italian Vogue or do they look like they belong in Maxim/Playboy/FHM magazines? if they are high fashion sexy then it's fine, but if it's typical Playboy/Maxim sexy it's almost impossible to move into high fashion. http://foe.blog.so-net.ne.jp/_images/blog/_494/foe/sexy-gisele-bundchen-3.jpg or http://www.calikartel.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/vogue_gemma_ward005.jpg is a high fashion sexy look http://www.ericraddatz.com/eradproductions/imdb/carufe.jpeg or this http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/showhype/photos_large/2008/07/24/niki_ghazian_fhm.JPG are Maxim-style sexy look that is not at all fashion A fashion model can always do nude shots, but it's almost impossible for a nude model to transition into fashion modeling.
