Women Inherit Passion For High Heels

Research shows that a girl's passion for High Heels is hereditary. 

The study observed consumer trends and discovered that there are striking links between a mother and daughter's fashion tastes and their ability to walk in heels. 

Whereas 92% of those related, provided matching answers when asked about their perfect choice of shoe, from the color, to the style, those who were unrelated produced a wide range of answers, showing greater statistical variance. 

"Whether it's genetics or training in teenage years, we may never know, but it's clear that the saying 'like mother like daughter' applies to walking in heels," the Daily Mail quoted Natelle Baddeley, head of accessories design at Debenhams, as saying.

Modeling 101 Tips & Tricks

Pointing Your Toes: If you are posing for full length images barefoot, you will want to be sure your toes are pointed for all poses. It creates a seamless, and feminine line for your legs, making them appear longer. Flat feet look masculine and aren't pleasing to the eye in a photograph!

High Heels: Wearing heels tightens the leg and butt muscles as well as elongate the legs. You can also make a fashion statement of course with High Heels as they are the perfect accessory and completion to any wardrobe as there are SO many styles and colors!

Remove Hair Ties From Wrist: I'm guilty of it myself on a rare occasion, but no one wants to see a hair tie on your wrist in images. It doesn't look like an accessory, it looks like a hair tie, especially the ones with the metal pieces. They also create wrist lines. 

Stretch Your Neck: By stretching your neck, you elongate it as well. You don't want to lose your neck in images, as it makes it appear as your head is sitting on your shoulders. 

Practice Posing: Practice makes perfect! Become more comfortable posing by sitting or standing while posing in front of a full length mirror. This gives you an idea of the poses you like, what looks good, as well as help you learn great angles for your body and face! You can even try mimicking poses from magazine photographs! The more you do this, the more comfortable and versatile you will be on camera!

C-Curve and S-Curves: These are 2 different categories of feminine posing, that are meant to accentuate the curves on the body in images (as well as real life). The S-Curve is simply posing your body from head to toe forming a slight curve that resembles an S. The C-Curve is the same; forming the shape of a C with your body, typically by arching your back. Examples of both below!
