Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Coimbra?
No. Most of our models started without experience. What matters is natural photos, honest measurements and time for castings and jobs.
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.
04Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Coimbra the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
05What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07What about my photos and data?
Application photos are stored in private storage, not on the website, and deleted if we do not take you on. Board photos are published only with your consent.
08Will I hear back?
We read every application in Coimbra and answer each one, with a clear yes or no.
