Do you think the idea of friendship between models is genuine, or a publicity stunt?<\/p>\n

As you get older, making friends tends to be harder. School allows us to form close bonds with our peers, as does regular 9-5 work. But modelling is unlike other types of jobs. You’ll be working with strangers regularly whilst travelling all over the country (and in some cases, the world) for work.<\/p>\n

Having friends is crucial for our well-being. It’s vital we have people we can rely on, who we can socialise with when we’re feeling lonely and who can give advice and support when we need it. In fact, many studies have shown how the impact of loneliness and a lack of friends can result in health issues including depression.<\/p>\n

So how do you go about making friends in the modelling industry? In such a cut-throat, competitive industry, it can perhaps seem counter-intuitive to form close connections with the same people we are competing against for work. And with stories about back-stabbing, cliques and fall-outs always rife in the media, how do we ensure our friendships are healthy and nurtured, as opposed to toxic and potentially damaging?<\/p>\n

Here, we take a look at how to form friendships in the modelling industry.<\/p>\n
