Why Bern
Our board is diverse: fashion, commercial and classic, women and men from 16 to over 60. If you are not sure whether you fit, apply anyway; we would rather look twice than miss a face.

Bern in numbers
Why Bern
Models from smaller cities like Bern are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Basel, Lausanne and Mulhouse among them.
In the capital in Switzerland models are booked for editorial, advertising and events; demand is broad, and so is the competition. We place selectively, not in bulk.
If you live in Bern, you will mostly work in the region and travel to Zürich, Geneva and Basel for campaigns and shows. Travel costs are paid by the client.
Travel and support
Applicants from Switzerland are welcome. From Bern everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Switzerland and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Bern?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.
02Does the application cost anything?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
03How tall do I need to be?
For fashion, women from about 172 cm and men from about 184 cm. Commercial and classic have no fixed limits; the face and the presence matter more.
04Are there jobs in Bern?
Yes. Clients in Bern and in Basel, Lausanne and Mulhouse book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Zürich, Geneva and Basel.
05Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
06What about my photos and data?
Your data stays with us and is deleted after the process if we do not work together. Nothing is shared without your agreement.
07Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Bern and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
08Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Bern the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
