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.

Everyone we worked with today was really welcoming.
They made myself and my little one feel at ease.
Direction was clear on what we needed to do and my 3 year old took to what was being asked of him quite well and with all members that was there with him. They told me that for a 3 year old and his first time shooting, he had done very well, which was great and reassuring to hear. Also hearing directly from the photographer that we had taken the visual shot that he was hoping for, was a very awesome feeling.
This shoot has a very moving concept and myself and my little one feel privileged to have been chosen to be a part of it. The additional unexpected gifts that were given to my little one at the end of the shoot was really kind of everyone and it is greatly appreciated...he absolutely loves his Christmas themed musical bear.
I would also like to say thank you to Charlie for the opportunity and for continually checking in to make sure that any questions we had were answered, and that we were happy as well as up to date with everything that was happening.

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!

I loved the experience: agency and client staff was professional and supportive; photographer and videomaker were knowledgeable and guided us through the process step-by-step; colleagues were friendly and approachable. So it's was the best way to be eased in a new context. Before this, I had no clue what to expect, and was somewhat stressed. But as I said, everyone made me feel more comfortable and at ease. Would love to do this again!

I had my first booked assignment with Models direct and it was fun. I appreciate that communication from Charlie has been so efficient throughout the process. Everything was well-explained and well-organised. During the filming day, I was taking part in a Ted talk style presentation together with another models. While waiting for our time to come in for the scene, I had such lovely conversations with the other models. I enjoyed being in the set with the production team and doing something in a group. It was truly a teamwork. I look forward to working on more projects with Models Direct. Thank you so much.

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity

Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc. Amelia particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made 2 new friends. The assignment was to be a baby model for Channel 4's "Sex Education Show". Amelia's part in this was to be cared for by 2 teenagers who were asked to change her nappy and feed her. The idea was to show teenagers the consequences of unprotected sex and how much hard work is involved in having a baby. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew. We hope any future assignments are as successful as today!
