The world of modeling doesn’t prescribe a particular starting position or gait. Rather, these elements will vary based on factors such as a designer’s personal style preferences, the type of clothes being modeled, and practical considerations for photoshoots or runway events.

Typically, models are taught to walk with one foot placed ahead of the other; this technique creates a long fluid stride that adds elegance to their movement. When standing still, models may be coached to shift their weight onto one hip – this helps accentuate curves that highlight garment lines and shapes. To achieve these effects effectively each model should do what is most natural for them – choosing a starting leg based on comfort levels whilst always remaining confident and expressive throughout.
