Can People Work as Both Fashion and Commercial Models?

I recently got a question on my facebook page (www.facebook.com/howtomodel) from a woman who wanted to know if it was possible to work as both a fashion and a commercial model. Here is my response to her.

Dear Aly:

There are some people who have the ability and looks to do both commercial and fashion modeling. The important thing to remember is to have two separate composite sheets. Many people run into problems when trying to combine both looks onto one card. That does create problems. The fashion people will see you as too commercial and the commercial people will see you as having too much of a fashion look.

You can give it a shot, but create two different composite sheets.
