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 whole experience was amazing - I met some really lovely people that I plan on keeping in contact with and it has really boosted my confidence as a model. The best part of the day was when we had all finished and the models got together and did a big silly photo, which worked really well and everyone seemed to be having so much fun! Thank you Models Direct for this opportunity.

When we got there they asked us if we could dress Oliver in a pair of mama's papa's khaki trousers for him to wear one of his own tops (we took a selection) Oliver was sat in a really nice wooden highchair at the end of breakfast table laid out with breakfast bowls several mini muffins....Oliver was given a muffin to eat whilst photos where being taken, he loved it he looked really happy and at ease......Darren and i stood behind the photographer every now and then waving and pulling silly faces to make him giggle and smile! The photo shoot took approx 45 mins they said they where really happy with the many photos they had taken esspecially a full frontal shot. We then cleaned up Oliver (the muffins where a little chocolatey) changed oliver then said our goodbyes as they had what they needed and left to make our way home. They did mention that they needed a photo of a baby asleep in a different reclining highchair......we all agreed that oliver was by this point wide awake and we would not beable to get him to sleep easily. Everyone was really friendly and made us feel at ease (i felt quite nervous for him before we got there) all in all i think he enjoyed it and both darren and i felt very proud.
Oliver secured his first assignment within 6 weeks of registering

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!

It was less than 2 days between me hearing I was shortlisted to completing the assignment; everything was handled very promptly and with plenty of support from Models Direct.
I was tasked to play a Groom for a themed wedding. The assignment involved me and the model Bride taking promotional photographs around Oxford and within the Hotel venue for the Client's Wedding Planning portfolio.
I had no issues at all with communication on the side of the Client via MD, or with MD directly. It was clear what I needed to do to prepare, where/when I needed to be, and I overall I just had a great time taking part in my first professional modelling gig.
I am highly looking forward to my next assignment!
