The indispensable 'model's bag' carries the tools of your trade, which
can vary from city to city. With time and experience, you will learn
what to carry and be able to anticipate what clients will want. For
me, the fact that models bring their model's bag along is just as important
as their looks. If they haven't brought anything to assist the shoot,
I consider that a point against them.
For now, the basic requirements for auditions and video tests are:
For

Men

Hygiene

Your
wardrobe should include jeans, T-shirts and two basic outfits
- casual and formal. Take along saris with matching blouses
and petticoats since they are requested for frequently. Pastel
shades work best.
