can anyone tell me anything about ikon models? thanks in advance

I don't know much; a girl I was friends with was signed with them for about six months and wasn't very happy/didn't get many jobs, but it could've just been her.

can anyone tell me anything about ikon models? thanks in advance

I've worked with one girl who was signed with Ikon a few months ago for a paid shoot. From what I can tell the girls aren't really "high fashion" material, alot more commercial.

this was probably asked a bajillion times before... are there any agencies that will take 5'6/7/8 teens

 

[manette]

^I think our tfs member sassestefanie is with Future Management. you could PM her

 

[Modelgirlie]

I wonder if it is worth to send photos to agencies if they havent given a special ''become a model'' email, but send to ''contact'' email?

Yes just put attn:women's new faces or attn:men's new faces in the subject line.

do you guys know around how much guys and girls make, per show, rather than shoot, on average.

 

[model_mom]

Im really impressed with DNA's new girls most of all:

Bette, Eva, Sarra, Nynke and Alyona.

 

[leggy_e11e]

^^ Me too! Especially Bette, Nynke and Sarra Jane!

hmmmm if im 5'3" and 14 years old i wouldnt be considered for modeling due to my height right? Im not seriously considering modeling but im interested in knowing about what would happen for someone in my circumstances. Would any agencies be interested?

 

[leggy_e11e]

^^^I think 5'3 is a bit too short ... Most agencies state at least 5'8" or 5'9", and even the shortest models are 5'6" or more ...

It sucks, I know. I hate being "short" at 5'7.5" , and believe me, I don't consider myself tall!

Although, perhaps you could get commercial work? And you may even have a few inches growth in you if your only 14! You could have a massive growth spurt and get to 5'8"? How tall are your parents?

[yourbestfriend]

Even if you are the required height, if you dont have the face you wont be a model.
