When it comes to modelling, fashion brings with it a whole world of on-trend apparel, splashed with funky key colours, prints and designs. Think of supermodels such as Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, through to Hu Bing and David Gandy strutting it down the catwalk like a boss in statement pieces for top names in fashion like Marc Jacob, Chanel and Max Mara. But fashion modelling goes beyond a catwalk and filters into other industries too, such as advertising and marketing.
Our expert modelling agency , Models Direct, is direct with our approach. We know that fashion models are sought after where our clients are on the lookout for the next model to showcase their products. (We like to tell you how it is, that's our ethos – direct, bold and out-of-the-box).
Our team of modelling experts have in-depth wizardly knowledge that’s been acquired and nurtured through our years of experience in this industry (rolling back since 1990 in case you’re wondering!).
Models Direct want to get the word out that fashion modelling is another booming subsidiary in the modelling world that you can easily break in to. You'll be paid for glamming up and showcasing key apparel – no doubt, a perfect job that you’d love waking up and getting ready for. What’s not to love?
Regardless of age, size or ethnicity, any budding model can tap into this field making it another diverse opportunity to be a part of.

I was thoroughly impressed with the organisation and caring attitude of all the TV crew involved during the assignment. Being a model for the day was really good fun and loved every minute of it! The best thing about the assignment was ending up with a gorgeous new hair colour/cut by a top London hairdresser. I was asked to Discuss new hair products with the presenter and produce an online video showing the various steps of dying hair from your home. I had quite a few speaking lines and a little acting involved too. Some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is It can be very glamorous and the money is well paid however, there are long hours and early morning starts involved too! As long as you are confident, organised and have a sense of humour, modelling is definitely a great profession.

Max thoroughly enjoyed his first session ever and it was a fantastic experience for us both. He was in ore about the whole thing and from my point of view it was a wonderful opportunity for him to be given this chance to learn another language which we would never be able to afford for him to take part in.
The whole crew were fantastic and Jim and Tracey did their up most to ensure the kids had a great time and had all their needs met. Daisy was the highlight of the whole 2 days and the kids really wanted to be like her by the end of the 2 days.
The other thing that struck me was that the kids all got on well and have formed a great friendship with each other and all seamed desperate to do it again!! They really believed they were part of the club!
Thanks for the whole experience and for all the help and advice you gave us in the build up we really appreciate it

The photographer gave us all superb direction which made the assignment very easy to accomplish and they were very pleased with what they had shot. Not only do you get paid for a great job you also meet new people which is so interesting.

I had an amazing time modelling as a “Country Loving Traditionalist”—such a fun and unique experience! To top it off, I even had a pretend husband for the day, which was a laugh. The shoots took place in stunning locations across Lincolnshire, showcasing the beautiful countryside. Afterward, we visited some charming pubs and restaurants. The whole team was absolutely lovely, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Date of experience: February 26, 2025

Professionalism at its finest
It was nice to be back on a set and working alongside other professionals, the shoot today went smoothly and we were all looked after and considered.
As there was a lot of equipment and setting up to be done, there was some down time however production made sure we were aware what was going on and thanked us for our patience.
Everyone was lovely and it is always great to network with other models and hear about their experiences. Production was clear on what shots they were looking for and gave excellent direction for what was needed.
All in all, it was a great day and I am glad I got to be a part of it.

Fantastic Modeling AgencyI recently had the amazing opportunity to take part in a shoot with Games Workshop for Warhammer through Models Direct, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.
It was my first time working on something like this, and I was thrilled to be involved with such a creative and iconic brand.On the day of the shoot, I was joined by a few other models who were also doing this for the first time, which made the atmosphere really friendly and supportive.
It was great to connect with others who were just as excited and a bit nervous—but we quickly bonded, and that helped everyone feel more relaxed and confident.
We shot a variety of scenes, inspired by the Warhammer universe. Scene Studio team was incredibly professional and welcoming, guiding us through each part of the process and making sure we all felt comfortable. The attention to detail on set was impressive, and it was such a fun and immersive experience.
I would like to thank Gemma at Models Direct, the experience was nothing short of fantastic.
From the very beginning, Models Direct were incredibly organised and professional—they kept us fully in the loop at every stage, and their communication was absolutely top class.
I felt well-prepared and confident going into the shoot, thanks to their clear guidance and support.
I’d recommend them to anyone looking to get started in the industry, and I’m really looking forward to my next opportunity!

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"
