Are you body confident and proud of who you are?
If you are self-assured, comfortable in your skin and curvier than average, then you could potentially become one of our plus-size models!
Models Direct has been working with men and women who are larger than the norm for decades now – and over the years we have seen great change.
We are proud to have been a leader finding work for plus-size models, celebrating people of all gorgeous appearances for who they are.
Increasingly, the world of advertising is realising that most of us don’t want to see only stick-thin models on our screens, magazine pages and social media platforms.
We want to see people like us who are of every healthy size on the spectrum – and of every height, skin colour, gender and heritage.
And as such, we are able to find work for our plus-size models in a range of places.
- Could you be a plus-size model?
- Mature models – you have just the poise, reliability and enthusiasm we need!
- All modelling agencies should embrace diversity
- What kind of male modelling jobs do you get?
- Modelling with my family – what to expect
Of course, like the other men, women and children on our books, our plus-size models are employed as everyday models to represent genuine members of the public as they really are.
After all, if you walk down any street you will see people of all sorts of wonderful body shapes.
Furthermore, there is an increasing amount of modelling work available for plus-size models as fashion labels and high street stores are cottoning on to the fact that this market segment has been under-catered for.
Just like everyone else, people who are above average in size want to be able to buy clothes, shoes and other products that look good and feel great.
And, if the product is right – and pitched properly to them through advertising and campaigns – then they are far more likely to buy it.
Plus-size people want to see plus-size models wearing the outfits they are considering digging deep for.
This isn’t rocket science!
So how do you become a plus-size model?
Firstly, join an agency you know you can trust.
We are highly experienced in this field – you only have to read the multitude of reviews from the many other models who have worked with us to see this.
Then, fill in our form, tell us a little about yourself and upload some photos.
One of our lovely agents will then call you to discuss modelling with us further.
You can ask them any questions at all and they will do their best to answer.
They will explain how our process works and tell you more about the kinds of assignments our plus-size models are put forward for.
Modelling with us can be great fun – one of our longstanding plus-size models, Neri, has even been seen on screen with none other than Gok Wan!
This is what she told us afterwards:
“This was a last-minute assignment, that ended up being one of the most empowering experiences since becoming professional.
“I got to work with four of the most beautiful confident ladies, a fantastic film crew and the man with the naked plan, Gok Wan.
“Not only did we help others feel confident, but it also reinforced how confident I am with my own body.
“From the costume designer to the makeup artist and the runners, everyone was so welcoming and worked so hard to make sure we felt relaxed and comfortable in the environment.
“Gok was lovely and gave direction really clearly. He was so fun and we all had such a giggle.
“The assignment went really quickly and Molly was so supportive.
“Such an exciting experience. I’m so glad I was accepted and thank Molly for putting her trust in me and putting me forward.”
What a star!
