Win a shoot with Mario Testino!

   Fashion week´s here again!
   This is THE period for our girls, it´s the time for shows and they have many many castings... It´s is not even possible to take the underground without seeing them running somewhere! They come from all over the world to Paris so if you want to meet the most amazing models from every continent, they are all in town outside in the streets.

   Everyone who has already seen a topmodel in the underground of in the street knows how surprising it can be: usually they are the tallest ones wearing tight clothes and their tan is so light... That may inspire you to take pictures of them secretly with your smartphones...Why not sending them to us? We will reward you by organizing a shooting with Mario Testino, a famous photographer.

Skinny ≠ Anorexic!

   Recently a model of the model agency named WM was criticized in the press and qualified as anorexic.  This event launched the traditional debate about models suffering from anorexia. It is true that models may face severe critics from the bookers about their weight and because this may really hurt, that may become the start of anorexia for the girl.

   Behind the grace claims a healthy way of life for the girls because we know that young girls are the most beautiful when they are natural: We tell girls to go to the casting without any makeup, with neat natural hair and we tell them to never skip meals that should just be healthy.  

   Skinny doesn´t mean anorexic. Successful agencies get it.

                     Your devoted and healthy model.

Let´s discover a backstage

My loyal followers, I advise you these entries today. All about our fashion world. Some are an iconoclast lookout, others are a crazy vision but all participate to offer us a different vision of the fashion show and its cliché. Highly recommended...

About this blog

   Model´s editorials, pictures of professional photographers, pictures from the press shows, etc…we have seen them already so many times. They show a model´s life in the most glamorous way, which represents 5% of her professional life. We´ll show the other 95% in my posts. Because they are not pictures, but human beings having fun when discovering backstage...and because they attract so many curious people.

   Behind the grace is a Parisian modeling agency´s blog. Working with models is a hard work because it consists in managing human beings: they have feelings. They might feel unsafe in a huge new city and they arrived for work in Paris without having any friends in town. That is why it is important to show the agency the best way possible from this point of view. Because agents are supposed to take care of their models and make sure they are happy.

   All agencies communicates on their blogs about how successful are their models. Our state of mind is different: we will expose the model´s point of view instead of the photographer´s one, speak about how hard it can be to spend whole days in the street walking and doing castings all around the city, how many efforts it takes to stay cool in a huge new city without friends at the arrival, but also how funny it can be when you finally get the job and see crazy backstage.
This blog is made by a student and a model, someone who has experience in this domain but also someone who has a critic regard on it and who can analyze general trends.
