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 did a shoot in Manchester and it was so professionally set up in a relaxed environment to say it was for quite a big campaign.
The whole process was very clearly explained by the models direct team and made it easy for me to turn up and just crack on with the task at hand!

First assignmentI recently completed my first assignment with Models Direct and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. As this was my first shoot, I was naturally a bit nervous beforehand, but the organization and clear communication I received quickly alleviated any nerves.
The information provided in the talent booking form was spot on, ensuring I knew exactly where to go, what to wear for the February weather, and what to expect on the day. During the shoot, the atmosphere was incredibly supportive. The production team and lead provided excellent direction, making me feel comfortable and confident while working as part of a 'group of friends'.
It was truly amazing to combine the joy of being out in nature with a professional team dedicated to capturing that essence. I am very impressed with how Models Direct handled the representation and would certainly accept an opportunity to work with them again.

Another great shoot today. This time, our daughter got to try out a new electronic gadget, and the customer made videos of her reactions. Everyone was very nice. Thank you for the opportunity!

I recently participated in a booking for a new campaign which must remain confidential at this moment.
Photos and videos were taken of us and we got to talk about digital wellbeing in an interview with a real presenter.
I met new kids who are also with models direct who are interested in the same thing as me and we got to know each other have fun and experience shoots together.
I hope there are many more opportunities like his for me in the future.

I had such great fun modeling. Trying on the wedding dresses was just superb! It was a dream assignment! I am not the 'standard' shape for modeling as I am curvy and never
imagined I could do something like this but in fact my shape was just
what the client was looking for and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
Coming from a life of being a mother and hardworking business-woman it
is so nice to be able to do something that i class as me-time, its a
great confidence boost too! Thank you for arranging for me to attend this assignment ! I had a
really great day, I really enjoyed it. I hope that the clients are
satisfied with the results and look forward to doing another assignment
in the future.

I would like to thank Charlie at Models Direct and Krow for a wonderful day yesterday. I was involved in a photo shoot for Aviva. The day went very smoothly from start to finish and I was given all the information that I needed prior to the shoot. I was given a lovely make over and all the staff at Krow were wonderful, very friendly, supportive and helpful. It was one of my best days and I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone involved.

Good experience on first shoot
Gemma has been a great agent to work with. She did all the logistical work for me which I couldn't appreciate more. Had a very good experience on my first shoot too.
Staff were polite and professional and I enjoyed working with other actors/models.

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.

Please be proactive in updating your profiles because this has helped immensely in securing a booking. hopefully one of many! The atmosphere that team fostered on set was welcoming. They made sure to give direction whilst allowing me to test poses without judgement, communicated off the set adding to my comfortability and they were genuinely positive people. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to be under the care of. Another piece of advice that helped is preparation. I would have had a tough time having to figure out body and facial poses on the spot. Luckily, I looked on social platforms beforehand. Best of luck!

What a great experience we have just had as a family. Superb organisation right from the very beginning by Gemma @ Models Direct.
Gemma was very supportive and communicative all the way through and everyone involved with the shoot was extremely professional, friendly and made the experience a very enjoyable one.
The shoot was at a Holiday park and we got to experience many aspects of the parks facilities including water slides, restaurant, cinema and even their wave surfer!
All was explained to us before the day and any changes enforced by the weather was communicated with us fully so we always knew what we were doing next.
Great experience. Thank you again for all of the support.

My two dalmatians were booked to appear at a Christmas 'animal movie magic' event, held at Two Rivers Shopping Centre in Staines. As this was Bongo and Boris's first assignment I did feel a little nervous beforehand as I didn't know what to expect, but we all ended up having such a fantastic day! Bingo, Boris and I enjoyed the huge attention we received by the general public and this was a great experience from both dogs. Everyone loved having their photos taken with them and it was such a proud moment to see Bongo's poster up on the Two Rivers billboards. This has definitely been a good experience for both dogs and something useful to put on the portfolio as well as probably having some good photos to show as the local paper came to take photos. We decided to join Models Direct to show off our dalmatians as they're very well behaved and classic looking dogs, and they certainly seemed to please all that met them today!
