In the 60s when fashion ruled the world, there was a strange old stereotype about models: it seemed that they were not too bright in the head, struggled to find where their next shoot was and that they constantly worried about their weight. These beautiful people have long since left that stereotype behind; nowadays they wouldn’t even think about worrying about their weight or panicking about the next location – their iPhone does it for them!

5. Spotify – Free
Every model needs to get “pumped up” before a big catwalk or a special photo shoot. This app allows you to choose any music in the entire world to suit your mood; whether it’s New Order’s catwalk classic ‘Blue Monday’ or Rage Against the Machine adrenaline-fuelled ‘Killing In The Name’, this app will get your blood pumping and your adrenaline rushing, ready to make your mark on the catwalk.
6. Metro Maps – $5.99
If you’re in a foreign city and the Bentley doesn’t show up to escort you to your shoot, you’re gonna need a tube/metro map to get you there on time (or fashionably late, of course). This app is highly useful and the best thing about it is that anyone can use it. No need to carry around those inconvenient, confusing paper maps; this app now covers 49 cities around the world, so even if your photo shoot happens to be in Venezuela, you’ll know where to go.
7. Skyscanner: All flights, Everywhere! – FREE
If that pesky agent of yours is always unreliable, get on this app and book those flights right away for ridiculously cheap prices! Skyscanner shows you literally any flight anywhere at any time at the cheapest possible price! Paris, Milan, New York…take your pick!
8. Instagram – FREE, Developed by Burbn, Inc.
Being a model allows you the chance to mix within the social scene of the rich and famous fairly regularly; so you must always be prepared and not miss the chance to get a snap with your idol, or a shot with those irritating fans that follow you around. If, for example, you are backstage at some fashion show in Paris and you catch a glimpse of the one and only David Bowie’s cut-glass cheekbones and electric blonde quiff, you have to assume that he’s going to beg to have a picture with you. Give Bowie the affirmative with a simple nod and a wink and whip out your Instagram app! Also, this app is great for taking pictures of your face i.e. checking make-up and hair etc.
9. Twitter – Free
Where would any of us be without finding out what each other is doing and thinking every minute of the day? Nowhere, is the answer to that question. Being a model, you have to be alert in the fashion social scene. The public seem fascinated by finding out what celebrities, musicians and models are doing, thinking, watching or eating (ha!); so you have to give the public what they want. ‘Tweet’ your thoughts on Victoria Beckham’s latest lingerie line or your fabulous new diet plan for all of your followers to see!
10. My Fashion Closet: Free
All models need to have the perfect outfit on, whatever the situation; you never know when the paps might strike. This app is as simple as walking down a runway in a straight line; you just take a picture of all the clothes in your wardrobe and My Fashion Closet will organise all of your garments and make it easy to match the perfect outfit. Once you have decided on the perfect attire for the occasion, you can share your finalised outfit with your model buddies and hear the jealousy in their voices as they say, “looks absolutely lovely, darling”.
Absolutely brilliant!
Love it!
