10 Poses To Get You Into Vogue

Genius.

From fashionindie.com:

Having paged through my fair share of Vogues since acquiring my first issue some ten years ago, I’ve picked up a trick or two. There are certain poses models always do –  poses that are “classicVogue.” So to master these is to get one horse-like step closer to those hallowed, glossy editorial pages.

1. The Stride

What you’re thinking: I’m on my way to werq, get out of my way — oh, look a camera — I’m giving — now I’m walking away.

What you’re doing: Walking slow enough to get in frame and making sure your legs are spread wide enough apart for a dynamic shot.

2. The Editorial Jump

What you’re thinking: You know I feel so great right now I’m just going to fly everywhere I go today, while still looking relatively motionless. Oh, look a unicorn…gorjuss.

What you’re doing: Squatting before jumping and giving face at the apex of your jump.

3. The Pensive Jut

What you’re thinking: I’m deep in thought — about what, who cares? But I’m looking at the solution to all my problems way off in the distance…and it just winked at me.

What you’re doing: Hand on hip, other hand at an opposing but complimentary angle with one leg  straight and the other slightly bent.

4. In Repose

What you’re thinking: Ugh, it’s sooooo hard being this glamorous, but I’ve got to keep it together. Waiter, where’s my goddamn cocktail? Oh, there it is…with a Vicodin chaser. Quelle surprise.

What you’re doing: Staggering your legs, framing your face with your arms, sucking everything in and finding your light.

5. The Stroll

What you’re thinking: Oh, look! I’m walking again! This is becoming a habit. I’m going about my way, but for some reason everyone around me keeps dying of envy…and I. Love it.

What you’re doing: Catwalking towards the camera slowly either giving full face to the camera or feigning distraction.
