The title says it all, readers. If you’re dreaming of modelling but don’t live in the fashion capital of London, you might be thinking that you might be at a disadvantage. Why? To soak in all the opportunities, you’ll need to be in the heart of the city.
However, that’s not the case. Yes, London is the hot spot where fashion powerhouses are fierce, unveiling their designs and making powerful connections, but the industry is not limited to it.
No matter where you’re based in the UK, villages, towns, or cities, north, east, south, or west, our particular effort is to help you land a modelling gig and set sail with your new career.
Models Direct HQ is based in Norwich, and we recently opened an office in London, due to the expanding demand for diverse models and clients requesting to hire them. Whether it’s been for a newborn model, child model, teen model, adult, or mature model, we’ve been a pretty busy agency for the past 35 years. Oh yes, and we can’t leave out our animal population. So any pets out there with modelling qualities [we’ll discuss this in more depth later], Models Direct will represent you.
We know that the hustle and bustle of London life can be appealing to modelling enthusiasts, but our clients are dotted across the country and across all industries.
As a model, you’ll need to have some qualities that our agency and our clients will be looking for. They are:
A can-do attitude
Being happy to follow directions and instructions from the production crew
Being punctual
Being communicative
Being open to learning new skills
Being flexible
Being ready for the challenge
Models Direct is a diverse and inclusive agency with the drive to make the modelling profession accessible to everyone. It’s all about bringing everyday, regular people who are interested in upleveling their part-time modelling career. It’s about getting them on board and getting them to try out the profession, as there is a demand for real people who are authentic and represent the population. The work we receive varies, as does the request for our diverse models. Our jobs board highlights a kaleidoscope of assignments where we open the floor to direct applications as and when our registered models wish to. We give them the control so that they don’t have to wait for us to inform them if they’ve been selected for a modelling assignment. Our jobs board is available online 24/7, so they can log in and apply whenever they would like to.
