The Model Agency Mega Thread (January 2004 - March 2010)

^^ that happens often. Even if it was the case that 2 bookers out of 5 were interested and the 3 weren't it would be at your disadvantage to go with them. The booking table at an agency (or at bigger agencies the booking table of a division) should be unanimously interested. Different agents have different relationships and it's most benficial if you get a full push from the entire team.

i have a few questions:

1. which are the top agencies that accept 5'7 models in NYC and London?
2. if you send pictures to agencies and call u back for an open call, do they pay or you pay?
3. which is the best place to start? nyc or london?

Pay for what? Pay you to come in or for your travel? They don't pay for either.

I gotta say Women Management did a great job with their new website. It's run the same way as DNA, except a little bit easier. The format of the page really makes the portfolios of the models outstanding, and the polaroids are a great part as well. You really get the feeling that they are an agency that's on top.

the London agency that seems to be geeting all the top girls from UK and abroad has to be the only and only STORM - they added Coco Rocha, Daiane C, Hannah Putz and loads of otehrs. Home grown stars like Behati prinsloo, Kate Moss, Lily Cole are all theirs. And they have up and coming models like Holly, Imogen and Eve G are sure to go far.

Storm has been one of the top agencies for a long time. Kate Moss put them on the map but Sara Doukas has since really shown a keen eye for spotting unique girls and getting great jobs.

Clicking on it doesn't work, but they made these young 16 years olds model maternity underwear?!!! Does this look realistic to you?

 

[Surfbunny]

^well nowadays..

 

[Deleted member 49693]

^ hahaha...but seriously they should have models that look in their 20s and 30s to model maternity wear. This is the first time, I saw underage girls model maturnity underwear...

Sorry for sounding really stupid, but on the main page how do i get to the next lot of models after Jourdan Dunn? I can't seem to scroll down or turn the page, or whatever you need to do.

There's a bar on the side you can drag down, or if you click below it, the page will move down

 

[verna_gold]

Thank you, yourbestfriend! That's been frustrating me for days! For some reason, the bar doesn't load for me, but by clicking on blank space i can scroll down! Thanks, again!

And i agree with you, their site is now worthy of a top agency. Before, it was a bit ropey, to say the least, with those tiny thumbnails.

 

[vogueness]

Love Womens new site. I totally agree, yourbestfriend, they are on top- looks like they have some future stars (Jourdan, Kasia) as well as the really top models like Vlada and Natasha and Alison.

Does anybody know of VNY Model Management? Models.com has some good things to say about it.

It also says that Irina K was signed with them!

[jakeee]

^if ur thinking of irina kulikova...thats a totally different irina

 

[evedwards]

What do you mean, it says Irina k is with Trump?

 

[style_star]

^You're right, that is a different Irina. I missed the name on their site. Sorry.

Anyways, any opinions on them?

 

[evedwards]

They are OK, they have some models who have done really well, but a lot of models leave them for various reasons. I have noticed that the tests they get their girls really suck and the website is so ghetto.
