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.
Great shoot! Friendly clients and onsite team who were great with the girls who looking forward to the next shoot!

AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER
I personally joined Models Direct as I have always wanted to do modelling. This was my first modelling assignment and it is something I would definitely like to do again.I was really nervous to begin, but all the staff were very welcoming and made my time there enjoyable. The best part of the assignment was being able to try different clothes on while the stylist decided what looked best. The assignment was based on mother/daughter relationships which involved me having an informal interview over the phone answering questions about my mum, before travelling to the studio in London. There I had clothes chosen, a hair and make-up stylist and then a photo shoot.I gained confidence in this shoot, thanks to the welcoming staff, and gained the skills of posing in front of the camera, and socialising in a different environment. I would definitely recommend this to others - everyone enjoys a bit of pampering and this is exactly what happened! The whole day was informal and friendly and it was an experience to remember, especially having everything done for you.

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.

This was an amazing professional 4 hour video/photography shoot showcasing a particular product. Anna and I had so much fun in the kitchen decorating cookies and making pizza. Beautiful location, we were well looked after by the crew with lunch, refreshments and a great chic wardrobe of clothes to wear on set! Great communication from Charlie at Models Direct as always.

Everybody at Karndean Flooring was most welcoming and made both Fleur (my Great Dane) and I feel at home. We had to complete 3 different shots - two stills and one video. The crews were very patient and explained exactly what they wanted so I was able to direct Fleur accordingly. Fleur and I would definitely like do similar work in the future. The whole day was worthwhile and the venue was very suitable for animals as there was plenty of space for exercising them between shots. My advice to other aspiring pet models and owners? Relax and give it a go!

1st modelling experience
I received a notification that I had been shortlisted for an assignment and asked about availability for the date.
This was 3 weeks ahead. After confirming the date was ok, I was then told I was selected.
After receiving joining instructions and advice it was soon the date for the assignment. I was nervous but once on site enjoyed a great experience between the client, photographers and other participants.

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.

I did a photo shoot with Sunrise Medical in Birmingham. It was such good fun, the company made me feel so welcome and I learnt quite a bit from both sides of the camera. I look forward to other opportunities that may come my way.

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.
