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.

FuntimesIt was a truly enjoyable and memorable experience with MD, even if it was a bit surreal getting into the festive spirit in the middle of June! It was my first time working on a campaign like this, and I found the whole process really engaging.
I especially appreciated the relaxed and friendly atmosphere on set, meeting and connecting with new people, and I even got the chance to step in as an extra for a Christmas family scene, which was a fun surprise.

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

The shoot went well and it was great to work with such a fun team! For me, everything is in the prep, and I was very impressed with Charlie’s guidance, preparation and paperwork ahead of the day. The location was nice and our team of 14 models felt really included in the project. The director was good and clear with his instructions. It was a lovely experience and I can’t wait to do it all over again!

Excellent service and wonderful experience.
I had my first booking with Models Direct today. It was a Charity Photoshoot to raise awareness about Crohn's and Colitis.
It was a moving experience meeting and speaking people with Crohn's Disease. They were really kind and very open to discussions, which I found insightful.
The ambience all through the charity shoot was very welcoming and so lovely. The term, models and all were all so pleasant and inclusive and so it felt more like a wonderful outing with family and friends. This made me feel less nervous and more relaxed.
All the information I received from Gemma from the initial telephone call, emails and messages up to the date of the shoot was most helpful. Thank you Gemma. Thank you so much. I had a great experience and I thank Models Direct immensely for the opportunity of being a part of this amazing charity shoot.

Last week I had another job booked through Models Direct, this time an advert for a popular wine brand. As always I was fully prepped and given all the necessary information beforehand from Molly, who was on hand to answer any of my queries. The filming team and cast were all very easy to work with, and made the two day shoot really enjoyable. I'm looking forward to seeing the footage and to my next assignment with Models Direct.

Really enjoyed today at the framework innovation shoot , the photographer was easy to work with and we had some laughs along the way.
Amy the other model was very easy to work with, in a professional business setting with great facilities, the owner was very exact in his requirements and everything just flowed along great.
Hopefully he got the required images he needed to enhance the business he his building.
Thanks again to Charlie and Gemma and the team for another successful experience

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.
