About the Book

A common sense handbook written both in a journalistic and personal format.

Not just for the upcoming model, but for anybody who desires to be of model material and gain confidence.

Also, a beneficial read for parents and families of those aspiring models who wish to take their step into this forever-changing and vastly-growing modelling world.

My aim is to also guide ethnic models to break into mainstream modelling and to push the barriers further than just that of Asian bridal modelling and make-up. With advice and interviews from some of the world's biggest names in the industry – this guide will surely give you first-hand knowledge to make it to the top and to do so wisely.

Included also is expert advice on how to get published, pursue a career in becoming a professional and international model, as well as inspiring those of any age, colour and gender who wish to make it mainstream.

I have brought together in my book advice from leading celebrities and professionals within the modelling, fashion, media, health and beauty industry to help give weight and specific value.

On top of this, I have added chapters to expose the industry for what it really is and bring to light the deep and dark secrets of the modelling world.

About the Author

Ramilla Sisodia, born in England, United Kingdom. I never grew up dreaming to be a model, it was something that fell in place when I was scouted and I am forever grateful for it. My main passion to write has truly helped me bring this book to life.

I had my first ever photoshoot at the age of 16, but did not start modelling professionally until 17 and internationally until I was 18 years old.

I am a very proud mother of a beautiful baby girl, Ijaanti, who has inspired my following book titled 'Maternity Fashion and Child Modelling' of which I will be releasing next.

Whatever you know me by, or whether you have not heard of me at all, welcome to my book and welcome to this industry we all call modelling.

Customer Reviews

“Every aspiring model should get their hands on this book before they step into the modelling world. It is a great resource with practical information given by Ramilla who is herself a successful model. It is presented in a straight forward and comprehensive manner with Ramilla taking you step by step on what it takes to market yourself and the techniques that you need to become a successful model. The thing that makes this book so valuable is knowing that the information inside it has come from someone who has worked successfully within the modelling world. I thoroughly recommend this book and advise anyone interested in entering the world of modelling to pick up a copy as soon as possible. It will give you the confidence to approach any modelling agency”. www.purestorm.com

“I have read through it and it sounds great. It really covers all the basics. I think the scamming part is really important. Someone once tried to impersonate me on social media and get a young model to meet me in London, saying that I would help them. Luckily her mother was smart enough to find out who my agent was and call to confirm. It was obviously a huge disappointment for her daughter to find out that it was not me, but God knows what could have happened if she had gone. An informative book for anyone thinking of getting into the modelling industry, definitely a helpful and beneficial read. I would have liked to have read a book like this before I started :)”. www.leilunacollection.com

“Eye-opening, insightful, and inspiring. A must-read for anyone who is passionate about pursuing a career in modelling”. www.thesruthistandard.com

“My favourite chapter was ‘THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE IN-BETWEEN’, because I started my career in the industry as an international model myself, and I can honestly state that it opened up many doors for me to have a long term career in the entertainment industry. It was refreshing to see how Ramilla laid everything out in her book about using modelling as a platform to advance into other opportunities. I worked as an international model scout and then a casting director and now I am an executive Producer on my own show “Gown and Out in Beverly Hills” which is streaming on Prime. I loved the eloquence and down right honesty about how Ramilla breaks everything down in this chapter and makes it an easy and fun read. This book is a must for anyone that wants to know the ins and the outs of the modelling world, both in front of and behind the lenses”. www.patriksimpson.com

“I really enjoyed the book and the narrative, however what really caught my eye was the chapter on ‘DIFFERENT TYPES OF MODELLING - Some Definitions’, because as an international celebrity fashion designer with my flagship store located in the Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills, I have an extensive list of celebrities that have worn my gowns to EMMYS, OSCARS, GRAMMYS and SAG AWARDS. It was nice to see that Ramilla actually spelled out in a very concise and clear way, just what the different types of modelling are and what the actual qualifications and guidelines are. There are many different types of models and not everyone can be a fashion model for obvious reasons. That does not mean that someone cannot be a model in a different category and I like how direct and on point the definitions in this chapter were. I produce fashion shows annually and it is extremely important that the right type of model is selected to wear my latest designs. As Ramilla clearly points out, it is a true to life fact that the model that is selected to model the garments have a tough job in bringing my (or any designer’s) design to life and their personality from inside, combined with their physical features and the way they wear the couture can be a deciding factor on whether or not a buyer opts for the collection. I do not think many models even understand the magnitude of this when they are selected for show season”. www.polatteu.com
