Become a model
Become a model in Düsseldorf
Becoming a model in Düsseldorf starts at ROW ONE with four photos and your measurements. The application takes five minutes, application and admission are free, and we answer every application. Castings take place by video call, in our rooms in Frankfurt or at the production site; jobs come up in Düsseldorf, in the region and across Europe.
Why Düsseldorf
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.
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Düsseldorf and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.

Düsseldorf in numbers
Why Düsseldorf
With around 620,000 inhabitants, Düsseldorf has companies, agencies and studios that book models regularly, plus productions in Neuss, Krefeld and Solingen within easy reach.
Düsseldorf is a fashion capital; working here as a model takes availability and nerves for last-minute castings. We filter the requests and only send what fits.
For models from Düsseldorf the fairs (Igedo, boot, drupa, MEDICA and K) are fixed dates in the calendar: product presentations, shows on the stand, content for social media.
Travel and support
Castings and polaroid sessions for applicants from Düsseldorf usually take place in Frankfurt, reachable by train or car in under two hours. Jobs in the Rhine-Main region come up regularly, often without overnight stays.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Düsseldorf?
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?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
04Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
05What 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.
06What does a model earn?
Fees are agreed per job and paid after the production. We negotiate the rate, you see the figures before you accept.
07Will I get a comp card?
Yes, once you are on the board. The comp card is produced by us, free of charge, and updated with every new set of pictures.
08What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
