A perfect combination of a great body as well as a great attitude on the ramp, is what it takes to pull off haute couture with ease and aplomb.

Possession of a great body and a good metabolism, is definitely an attractive asset and enhances one's personality. Having the right attitude on the ramp, will bring in more appreciation and success. If a model has to break free from being typecast and termed as "just another pretty face", he/she must channelize their attitude in the proper way, otherwise it may be misunderstood for arrogance.

So a healthy mix of both attitude and looks, is the key to success in the world of fashion.

Answer 3

both should be given weightage..a great body with a floopy body language or a great attitude with a obese body will equally effect the haute couture worn by a person....

Answer 4

great body is more important because if u have great body u are more confident about yourself which will bring positive attitude in you which is more important.

Answer 5

Of course great attitude, but great attitude comes by itself when you have a great body, actually it gives a confidence that u r above the mark and attitude comes automatically or after some practice.

Answer 6

great attitude

Answer 7

Attitude makes a lot of difference. There are many people who dont have a great/perfect body but if one knows what suits them then good clothes are no limit. Same goes for the models

Answer 8

As asked what is more important

A great body would only make it a haute couture.. else it could probably become a reason for others to laugh..

But to make a statement both go hand in hand Attitude and Body

Answer 9

Attitude. A great body without the right attitude makes for a clothes horse. It's attitude that separates the grain from the chaff.

Answer 10

simply great attitute will do all the needful.

Answer 11

On the ramp a great body with a great attitude will work. Only great attitude is not sufficient on ramp without a great body and only great body will do nothing without great attitude.

self

Answer 14

Both because no attitude but a great body makes no impression just as a great body without a great attitude seems lifeless and least attractive. Body holds a little more importance than attitude alone as maybe for once a body can carry itself without great attitude

Answer 15

A great attitude on ramp is more important because without the attitude we cannot feel the beauty and the comfort of dress.

Answer 16

Carrying off haute couture requires a great attitude which if complemented by a great body can be a fabulous combination. Though the former is of prime importance but cannot be viewed in isolation.

Answer 17

Both,a great body and a great attitude are equally important... they go hand in hand. no matter how great the dress is designed, but it does not fit you, or u cannot walk in it with confidence, there is no use of the high priced dress... in fact it can make mockery of the designer, who has put a lot of effort to bring out that dress. and generally when you have a great body, you walk witha lot of confidence and with a right attitude and even a simple dress, can look absolutely fabulous on you.. it all depends you and the personality you project

Answer 18

Good Body is an important facet of great attitude. We feel better if the body contour supplements the great attitude we have in ourselves. So, in my opinion, to carry off haute couture both plays an significant role.

definition of haute couture on wikipedia says:
Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking"; pronounced [oːt kutyʁ]) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

Not everyone has a great body & great attitude can make any person look good :)

Answer 22

When you have a great body the attitude follows.
When you have a great body you the confidence in you to carry off the dress really well, this builds up the right kind of attitude.

Answer 24

Both great body n attitude.

Answer 25

A great body as for attitude it comes naturally. One has to have a great body to carry those awesome pieces of garments. Can you imagine an obese model wearing an evening off-shoulder gown with oodles of flesh hanging. NO so it has to be great body.

Answer 26

I was never on the ramp but I had seen some fashion shows in TV channels. And as I know the attitude is better than your great body. Your attitude shows your outfit or body language personally, when you run on the ramp. So its a very important to go on ramp with a great attitude rather than your body art.

Answer 27

a great body as well as great attitude is required.as without good body cannot have good attitude both are independent on each other.
good body=attitude+pesonality

Answer 28

A great attitude-The creation of a master doesnot necessary need to be fitted into a great body to be find its appropriate appreciation. A great body is okay for a pret creation. Haute Couture in its true sense stretches the limit of creativity and explores into an unknown world to bring back a new defination of form, silhouette & balance. It requires a certain degree of confidence to bring glory into it. It is absolutely a great attitude that is necessary. A great body could be cherry on the cake.

Answer 29

confident in your self and courage and dignity to carry your self in the ramp.

Answer 30

of course a great attitude!not every one has a great body-figure&height!

Answer 31

Not everyone has a great body & great attitude can make any person look good
