Since 4-5 years, particularly in the eastern EU countries like Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, some clients in Milan but also some in Paris and London book models directly without the use of agencies in their cities..
Some of the best organized mother agencies have even somebody dedicated to deal these direct jobs.
It seems, that this way of working might grow, as before that was mainly for small clients (let's say level of small brand show rooms in Milan), but more and more, some upper clients starts to contact mother agent directly too.
for exemple Ashley Brokaw will be in the coming weeks in these countries, she contacted agencies, with details requests, telling that she was seeking new faces for Balenciaga jobs, and that she expected that agencies could introduce her new faces completely free of contract with abroad agencies.
I personally think it is quiet exciting to see that move.
