The Model Workshop: What It Actually Takes To Stand Out
Learn the reality of how models get selected, booked, and re-booked straight from a designer and working professionals.
Getting booked is about more than just having a strong portfolio. You may have been taught the basics of industry professionalism, but the reality of what actually gets you selected and re-booked often goes much deeper than standard expectations.
Join us on Wednesday, June 24th for a workshop dedicated to the practical reality of the fashion business. I will be breaking down exactly how I select models for my runway shows, from spotting the red flags on a producer's comp card list to reviewing your digital presence, and what ultimately makes me reach out to a model for a direct booking.
I will be joined by incredible guest models who will share their firsthand experiences and actionable advice on navigating the industry, handling the chaos of fittings and shows, and building a lasting career.
Walk away knowing:
Exactly how to stand out on a producer's roster.
How your online presence impacts direct bookings.
The on-set habits that guarantee you get re-booked.
Real-world insights from our guest model panel.
Who Should Attend? This event is built to bring the fashion community together. It is for models, designers, photographers, and anyone in the industry looking to elevate our local standard and advance their careers.
It is also highly recommended for show producers. As a designer, the quality and accuracy of the information you provide on your model rosters directly determines whether I will work with you again, recommend you to my peers, or advise them to stay away. This is an opportunity to learn exactly what designers need to see from you to make confident selections.
