What to bring

Bring a headshot, your contact information, your social media info, and your modeling experience if applicable.

Accurate measurements help us match models with designers and keep casting, fittings, and show day running smoothly.

If you do not have a headshot or measurements, that is okay! We will be taking photos and measurements at the casting. Just fill out the form as best as you can.

Every model signs a casting release at check-in. Save time on casting day: download it, read it, and bring it signed. Models under 18 need a parent or legal guardian to sign it too.
