| In the globalization of economic information, all trades and professions present the situation of contention of a hundred schools of thought. The rapid rise of Chinese modeling industry, an emerging industry in China, has showed good development trend, and become the bond among fashion, media and a series of industry. Time slipping by days, during the period of ten years from1989to1999, Chinese modeling industry developed gradually with China’s reform and opening and the development of Chinese fashion industry. And it began to enter the period of opening up, integration formation and development of industrialization, specialization and mercerization. With modeling contests as leading role and service brands as the support, China’s model industry has gradually formed and found a path of industrial development with the Chinese characteristics. Starting from the formation and development of Chinese clothing model, and an in-depth research on the model industry combined, this text implements analysis of the present situation and the existing problems the development of the Chinese modeling industry. Accordingly, it points out the trend of future development for the Chinese modeling industry to enter into the international T stage, and puts forward some theoretical basis for the development of our modeling industry in the future.As Chinese economy develops rapidly, the modeling industry of China also flourishes. Since its origin in1980, China’s industry has been developed and made great progress. However, China is still lagging behind other countries in modeling industry development and has a long way to go aboard. There exist various problems in the process of Chinese models going abroad, such as immaturity, lack of unified standards and norms, and lowering of models’age. The brand effect of Chinese model has not been produced under the original management system, which will be a major challenge confronting China’s modeling industry. On the basis of status quo of Chinese modeling industry, fashion models should maintain an understanding for the product they show, and for fashion, thus grasping and expressing the design concept by body language.Another major challenge that the China’s modeling industry is confronted with lies in how to spread the fashion idea through efficient media and accelerate the development of China’s modeling industry. To solve this problem, we should create a theoretical system and keep improving it on the basis of social development, thus enhancing the quality of modeling talents and speeding up the process of talent training in modern China.

An excellent model should be equipped with not only good physical condition, but also a deep understanding and cognitive competence for the product as well as profound cultural background. To compete in international stage, modeling industry of China need to train more excellent talents by optimize teaching content, abridging outmoded theories and absorbing new information. By so doing, fashion show major in colleges will have a potential for developing and a great education perspective. At present, we should think more about and make more effort in the education of models. As long as we make our minds, the modeling industry of China will excel in the international competition. |
