Is fashion design, modelling, acting, painting allowed in Islam?

My family is very religious, and in my childhood they didn't let me opt for modelling and fashion design as a career! I had good grades and was forced to get into "good noble profession" for ladies. The problem is I am extremely depressed and not happy at all. My personality is doomed but I can't find a way. Is fashion design, modelling, acting, painting allowed in Islam?
