It is easy to learn the model gait, although it is an art to perfect it, but don’t worry, because practice is half the fun. Next, learn how to work out the technique of walking in high heels, keeping one foot in front of the other. Then, learn about techniques for maintaining a focused and balanced facial expression. Finally, express your personality with a rhythmic and confident gait.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Developing facial expressions

1. 1 Lower your chin slightly. Do not lower or tilt your head back as if you are supported by an invisible rope attached to the crown of your head. Since you will be above the audience on the catwalk, a slightly lowered chin will allow the audience to better see your face. In addition, a slightly lowered chin will give an angle to your face and allow you to attract more eyes.
2. 2 Don't smile and keep your mouth naturally closed. You don't want to distract attention from your outfit with a smile ?! Look in the mirror and try to hold back a smile to see how it looks from the outside. Ask someone what your facial expressions look like. Sometimes strangers manage to see things that you usually do not notice.
   • For example, ask your friend, "Do I look furious?"
   • If your lips don't come together naturally, you don't need to try to close them.
3. 3 Focus your attention on something in front of you. When it comes to good modeling facial expressions, the emphasis in facial expressions is on the eyes and eyebrows. Fix your gaze at a certain point, and do not look around. Concentrate on where you are going, be careful and attentive. Focus on something that gives you determination, and it will show in your gaze.
   • Making eye contact with someone in the audience can be tempting; however, restrain your facial expressions and avoid eye contact.
   • Be careful not to trip over when walking. You should check your gait periodically to maintain balance and confidence while walking.
   • Use a mirror or ask a friend to double-check how your image is impressed. Experiment with different fashion looks until you find one that feels natural.

Part 2 of 3: Gait and Poses

1. 1 Stand up straight! Imagine an invisible rope supporting you from back to crown. Pull your shoulders back slightly and stand as straight as possible. This pose is what will secure you a lot of contracts, despite the fact that in reality you do not have model growth.
   • Stay free when standing upright. You don't have to tense your body to stand upright. Practice a calm gait in front of the mirror.
2. 2 Place one foot in front of the other and place your feet wider. The one-foot-in-front gait will allow the hips to swing from side to side in a classic fashionable manner. As you head forward on the catwalk, project confidence with your gait. If you are a male model, you should not place one foot directly in front of the other; on the contrary, you can walk more naturally by placing your feet side by side rather than in front of each other.
   • Don't overdo your hip wiggle. You shouldn't be afraid to let your hips wiggle; however, you should not be purposeful and over-emphasizing movement.
3. 3 Put your hands down and relax them. You don't need to swing your arms as your body will do it for you. Let your arms swing slightly. This will help you look calm and calm when you walk on the catwalk. Relax your arms so that the rounded palms are slightly open. Also, do not press your fingers tightly together. A distance of 0.5 cm between the fingers is acceptable.
   • Do not strain your arms too much, bend them and swing weakly in rhythm with your body.
   • Try not to move your arms too much, as this will make you look anxious.
4. 4 Practice walking in heels. No catwalk is complete without a pair of high-heeled shoes that make you look taller. But if you haven't tried walking in high heels, it will take a little time to get used to them. Put on your heeled shoes in the morning while you get ready. Parade to get used to the fashionable gait and at the same time walking in high heels.

Part 3 of 3: Gait Training

1. 1 Feel the rhythm and match it with your gait. Listen to the beating music you like as you parade in high heels. Try to concentrate on the image that you are going to present and hold out in it as long as possible during the fashion show. If you can manage to put a sense of rhythm and image in your gait, it will liven up and exude fantastic model energy.
   • Think flirtatiously and confidently as soon as you hit the rhythm.
   • On the runway, imagine music that tunes you in on your wave, and indulge in it with gusto.
   • As you step in time, remember to keep your shoulders straight and your body calm.
2. 2 Take your pose. Once you have defiled to the end of the runway, after waiting a few seconds, lean on one hip with all your confidence and composure. At the moment, you can look at the audience and disperse your attention for a moment. You don't need to move your head too much, your image should mainly come from the eyes. Then return to your previous facial expression and gait and step off the podium.
   • Practice your posture in front of a mirror. Consider carefully how long you will pose and make eye contact with the audience. When you're in front of an audience, your excitement can turn a few seconds into eternity.Get in the habit of holding a pose for a few seconds in front of a mirror so you can rely on muscle memory in front of an audience.
3. 3 Defile on the catwalk like a predator. There are several inimitable model gaits, and Karlie Kloss's gait is known for its predatory style. Make your catwalk gait faster by lifting your knees slightly higher than usual and placing one foot in front of the other. This will give liveliness to your gait. Jiggle your hips more as your gait is faster. Your arms will also sway more from side to side. During the defile, gently turn your head back and forth in unison with your body.
4. 4 Parade with a posture like Naomi Campbell. Step on the path deliberately with determination and an even posture. Let your body bounce as you walk. Your shoulders will move slightly up and down. Since you will be in more motion, the swinging range of your hips will be slightly wider. Let your arms bounce and spring back and forth as they naturally do when walking. Turn your head slightly to one side and move it only slightly when walking.
5. 5 March like Sasha Pivovarova. With this gait, your arms barely move when you walk. In this gait, the legs are not placed one in front of the other, as in the traditional podium gait, on the contrary, they are placed slightly to the sides. Stomp smoothly down the path, but keep your body calm and balanced. Do not make sudden movements with your arms or head. Think calmly and decisively as you parade.
