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.

Th assignment was fun and challenging. In one sentence being a model for the day felt great and fulfilling. The best thing about the assignment was the people i worked with were very warm so that made the job a lot easier than i thought. I was asked to do some photo shoot with football,playing pool,playing
computer solitaire game, i also had to get on the bus into town to do
another photo shoot going in and out of a Pub,Supermarket, using the
Cash Machine and posing to be shopping and finally paying at the
checkout counter.

Phoebe said " at first I was a little nervous as this was my first assignment and didn't know what to expect. The crew were funny and made me and Toby laugh. I had to play games with Toby while photos were taken. I forgot about the camera as I was having fun playing! I learnt that we have to sit up straight and keep smiling as we were playing. I had fun and would like to do it again"
Phoebe had been with Models Direct for two years before securing this assignment posing for Learning Resources catalogue, so you need to be patient and most importantly make sure that your profile is updated regularly.

I recently had my first photo shoot with Alzheimer's Research UK.
It being so hot outside made it very challenging because the shoot was supposed to look autumnal.
The photographer was very professional and managed to seek out areas with enough shade.
It was nice to meet the other models and exchange stories, as well as be given advice.
I would like to thank Models Direct for the opportunity.
I look forward to the next exciting assignment.

Just had my first shoot -
I just had my first shoot which was actually really good.
It was for a students accommodation advert.
There was many other models to work with. Working along with them was really fun and the other team behind it was good as well.
They helped with the shoot and explained what to do and how to act in such situation.
As a first time i really enjoyed the shoot and the process.
Looking forward for more shoots as well

The staffs were lovely and welcoming.
It wasn't as nerve racking as I taught it would be mostly because everything was well organised.
Drinks were offered as soon as we arrived, clear explanation and goal of the day was given at the beginning which helped understand what was expected of me.

It was lovely to do another modelling assignment for Models Direct.
I got to meet other amazing models in a relaxed environment. Everyone got on really well and we were made to feel at ease.
The shoot was for a well known pub chain and the day went smoothly as we were given clear directions on what to do.
I’m looking forward to my next assignment.

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.

Soon as we arrived we felt at ease, everything was explained as to what would be happening throughout the day.
Firstly videos / photos was taken on the bowling lanes, lots of fun for my daughter! Recording the speed of the bowls, even bowling backwards.
Afterwards it was the arcade, plenty of photos took whilst on the games, videos, questions asked E.g half term survival tips.
This was all made fun & enjoyable.
We made a vlog of our day we had including voice over, everyone involved was great, helpful and lovely making my daughter feel comfortable.
Our day was great and thank you to all involved!

Filming an internal video for this luxury car company, was a very good experience for Vaneesha She was asked to perform not just act as it was a difficult virtual situation, filming in front of a green screen. The environment was very friendly and crew members were helpful.Thanks Models Direct, looking forward for more live assignments.

Working as a model for Models Direct for a promotional shoot in a studio was such a fabulous experience, and something completely unknown and new to me of what actually happens BTS in a studio and how all the takes complete a final product!
Models Direct (Gemma) was once again supportive from the beginning with issuing a brief beforehand of what to expect, a check-in phone call the day before the shoot, a follow-up call the day after the shoot and lots of encouragement and praise, thank you! Models Direct nurture us models from start (signing up) to finish (booking jobs) and it is so lovely to experience the care and support given, and something I'm sure doesn't happen with every Agency.
I had such a fun day and am grateful for the opportunity.
