What is a fitting model?

Fitting models, also known as fit models, are individuals hired by fashion brands and clothing manufacturers to try on garments during the design and production process. Their primary role is to provide feedback on the fit, comfort, and appearance of clothing to help designers make adjustments before the items go to market. Fitting models represent specific sizes and body types according to the brand’s target customer. Their feedback is crucial for ensuring that clothing fits well and meets quality standards. This job is different from fashion modeling, as it focuses on garment fit rather than promoting clothing in advertisements or runways.
