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.

The shoot yesterday for the client was a great assignment and such a fun day! We played tennis, we ate some delicious food and we walked around the beautiful grounds of the establishment. I had a great male model partner and the photographer and videographer were very friendly, professional, engaging and helpful. It was a very smooth day and I look forward to seeing the pictures. Charlie from MD was great to deal with and very helpful and friendly and made the whole transaction very smooth. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!

Working with this company was such a genuinely lovely experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth, kindness and a really positive atmosphere. Even though the session was fast-paced to fit everything into the timeframe, the team made sure I felt comfortable and supported throughout.
They walked me through every part of the process as many times as I needed, offered drinks, set up a portable heater because the warehouse was cold, and made sure I had privacy whenever I needed it. They also helped with hair and make-up, and their photographer was so friendly and reassuring — it made the whole shoot feel relaxed, fun, and natural rather than strict or pressured.
There were lots of smiles, lots of laughing and so much encouragement. I genuinely enjoyed every shoot and working with their products. Overall, it was such a lovely experience and I would 100% work with them again.

Once again, I had such a brilliant experience on this being my 3rd assignment through Models Direct. The idea of this project was to hand out balloons in a busy town centre on behalf of a fertility clinic. I was required to engage the public and raise awareness of the national shortage of egg donors in the UK. Working closely with the team from the fertility clinic and the advertising company from 6am till 1pm, the £160 I will receive for this assignment is extremely worth it as it was very enjoyable. I really recommend using this agency and I look forward to my next assignment.

The shoot itself was amazing and all the other models, the co-ordinator, photographer and make up artist were so kind and fun to work with.

This was an incredible experience filming for The Slimming Clinic. Neil (the director) and myself had a long 7 hour drive up to Edinburgh but we hit it off straight away and chatted the whole time. After arriving we went into filming practically straight away and everyone worked so hard. We were a team and bounced ideas off each other, to make filming feel as natural as possible, since it was a training video. All those involved from Charlotte the doctor, Lesley the Dietitian and Phil the movement coach, to Dan the other videographer, they were all so supportive and made me feel so welcome. Over the 2 days, we worked for many hours none stop, but we all did it with such great positivity to achieve as much as possible. Filming wrapped for now, but what an absolutely epic weekend!!! Such an awesome assignment,with awesome people and I remembered my lines!! I stayed in a lovely hotel, ate some super tasty grub and managed to keep my energy up for the whole 2 days. So humbled and greatful to have been chosen for this assignment. Thank you Charlie @ models direct for being so supportive as well. Xx

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.

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of modelling for a charity, and it was one of the most uplifting experiences I’ve had.
The shoot took place at a beautiful private hospital which was light-filled, spacious, and full of calm energy.
From the moment I walked in, the organisers and fellow model made me feel completely at ease, like part of a family.
Every shot captured more than just images, it captured purpose, compassion, and connection.
The whole day was inspiring, fun, and deeply meaningful.
I can’t recommend this agency enough; every encounter with them has been a joy, and I’m already excited for the next project!

Glasgow clinic promotional shootThis was my first shoot after being on MDs books for a while so I was a little nervous but Gemma was very supportive and spoke to me on the phone before the day and sent me through the brief from the company which was very helpful.
I was greeted by Laura ( marketing manager) and the videographer, Richie at the aesthetic clinic where the shoot was taking place.
They were both so friendly and welcoming that my nerves soon disappeared.
I was there for just under four hours as expected and it was a really enjoyable experience for my first time.
I was even given coffee and a sandwich!
The clinic itself was gorgeous and very local.
Overall I loved the day and hope for more like it.

When we received the call from Models Direct about the assignment, we were very excited as it was the first time Adam was called for a shoot. We told him that he was going to play in a little movie. Adam thought it was going to play in Annie, the musical - he was very excited and couldn't wait. On the way to the set we explained his role which was to play happy child of foster parents and play with them on a bed. Anyway, Adam who is a very sociable child got along with everyone on set - the actors, the producers etc and he did exactly as he was told. The more Adam was asked to repeat his scene, the better he was getting as he bonded with his model parents. Overall, Adam said that he had a great time and he would do it again!

Summer Campaign – London Shoot
We had an absolutely brilliant day shooting asummer campaign in London.
The energy on set was relaxed, collaborative, and full of those little moments that make a production genuinely enjoyable.
I had the pleasure of working with a mix of familiar faces and new talent, and the blend couldn’t have been better.
The returning models slipped straight back into that easy chemistry we’ve built over previous shoot, while the new additions brought fresh energy and enthusiasm that lifted the whole day.
A special shout‑out to Gemma at Models Direct, who was fantastic from start to finish. She kept me fully informed throughout the entire process — smooth communication, quick responses, and a real sense of care for both the production and the models. It made the whole experience seamless.
And of course… the model of the day — without question — was Lars the Bassett Hound. Stealing scenes, hearts, and probably a few snacks, Lars delivered every look with natural charm and comedic timing that no human can compete with. An absolute pro.
All in all, a great shoot with a great team. Looking forward to the next one.

We recently had the opportunity to take part in a family modelling shoot for Verdant Leisure at Pease Bay Holiday Park, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.It was a full family experience for us — myself, my wife, our two children and our dog — and from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The staff at the holiday park were professional, friendly and warm, and the accommodation was beautiful. We were kindly put up the night before, which made the whole experience relaxed and stress-free.The modelling day itself was exceptional.

As first-time models, we weren’t sure what to expect, but the team were incredibly patient and encouraging, and the kids had an absolute blast.What we particularly loved was that it didn’t feel like we were simply posing for photographs. Most of the day involved genuine family activities — playing football, enjoying the play park, building sandcastles, getting involved with the entertainment team and generally having fun together. It felt very natural, and the photographers and crew did a fantastic job of capturing those genuine family moments.The support from Models Direct throughout the whole experience was also fantastic. Their communication was excellent — they called to make sure we had arrived safely, checked in with us throughout the day and were always available if we needed anything.
