What it’s Really Like Being a Brand King and Fit Modelling

Hnmm! I am proud to say that it was a difficult task going through

a training process in the pageantry camp….. but I will work and

leave to tell more of the story. Kudos!! To the man of Poise,

Class &

Etiquette, Ambassdor Brendan Niskak, CEO, great teacher, i

reserve other words for now.

Yes! I made to the position As Mr. Nigeria International 2016, fit

model; words are not enough to appreciate everyone who made

me got to this position.

As a fit model, for branding collection. “Either you are chosen

because you have a style that the brand connects with, or

somehow you embody what the designer senses in terms of

creativity and design,” says the model, at 5’10 (180 cm) I feel a

few inches short of the average height of a runway model, but “A

lot of it is just personal and emotional. The designer has to be

attracted to you and somehow, on a very human level, want to be

around you all day when you’re half-naked.”

The fit, or fitting, model is a vital but rarely talked about role in the

fashion industry. A living, breathing mannequin, a fitting model

tests out garments to make sure the cut and proportions are right,

and helps the brand and designers, pattern cutters and garment

technologists identify problems that could impact sales, such as

shallow pockets, or armholes cut too tight.

At 5’11 (180 cm), with a 40-inch chest and a 32-inch waist,

Nigeria-based fitting model, Erico Anthony ‘Mr. Nigeria

International 2016’ has the “perfect average medium” proportions

(medium is the best-selling size in menswear). “I hit exactly the

middle of medium — it’s tailor-made on me, and then sizing is by
scaling up and scaling down,” he says.

What it’s Really Like Being a Brand King and Commercial

Model??

Is being a thing of joy, a leading task at hand, and a focus to

showcase an exemplary life style to my follow models outside.

As a model, a king, ‘Mr. Nigeria International 2016’ I want to

explain a career in a groomed king language, as a commercial

model and a career in fashion. Editorial is kind of loosely only

referenced to fashion. The truth is that they’re completely different

types of careers. There are models who work for commercial

brands, like maybe a catalog, like Athletica, or there are a million

catalogs these days that models work for and they’re more on the

commercial side.

They’re never going to work for a designer. They’re not going to

be in the Calvin Klein advertising. They’re not going to walk in a

Calvin Klein show. They’re not going to work "Vogue Magazine".

But they’re going to work for sort of these commercial brands and

you might never know their name. But they work all the time and

they make great positive perfect impact to the society.

I think that fashion is great and you do make creative poise and

class creative ideals. It’s a longer road. It’s a different kind of a

road. "Commercial" is not a dirty word in the sense that because

you look more like a lot of different people, therefore you become

sort of nondescript. You’re the blonde guy. You’re the brunette

guy they use. You’re the guy that looks great in blue. You’re the

guy that looks great in black.

There are categories for those things. In commercial modeling,

maybe nobody knows your name, but as for me most people

known me as ‘Mr. Nigeria International 2016’ you can make a lot

of positive impact in the modeling industry, while working for the

brand. So, the difference of the work is kind of the difference of

the groomed career and ordinary commercial modeling goes on

everywhere and that’s the beauty of it.

Thou, commercial modeling goes on in Los Angeles. It goes on in

Chicago. It goes on in Dallas or Nigeria and every other African

country………

What do you have in return to the society & your supporters???

I am working on a project to give back to the society in

appreciations to their support during the competition

exercises. I want to believe that this project will make a positive

impact on the youth in focusing on their better tomorrow, stay away

from violent, live a reformed life in the present economic and be

positive in thinking..
