Fashion Model Hands

Dani Korwin is the founder and president of Parts Models Inc., a New York City agency that specializes in body parts modeling. She represents more than 100 men and women, the most in-demand parts being hands, legs and feet.

Parts models can earn anywhere from $150 to several thousand dollars a day, depending on their reputation and what they're modeling for (advertising or editorial).

A current trend in parts modeling is a natural look. For example, in hand modeling, it's better to have a shorter nail as opposed to a longer, "glamour" length. For men looking to market their torso, it should not be overly ripped. Having a well-defined body is important, but muscle mania is not necessary.

Korwin advises aspiring parts models to be realistic. "Take a long, objective look at your various parts, and if you can give the time and energy to it, go for it," Korwin says."It's a great field for someone who doesn't have the requirements to be a showroom or runway model, and it's gives you a longer model 'shelf life'."

Models fashion personal advice

Many of the parts models model for hands as well as other body parts.

You must take exceptional care of your body parts do not expose your hands to any cleaning chemicals, harsh materials, anything that will cause cuts and scratches.

Many of the models wear gloves, booties if they are a foot model - sleep with oils and moisturizers on body parts, keep their parts covered up at almost all times.

For body modeling abs, torso, shoulders etc .. wear extra baggy clothing so the clothes do not leave marks on the skin.

You have to really be prepared to live while always thinking of your modeling parts.
