Become a model in Geneva
Want to become a model in Geneva? ROW ONE accepts applications from Geneva and the surrounding area free of charge: four natural photos, your measurements and contact details are enough. You hear from us either way, and we meet by video call or at a casting nearby. No fees, no courses, jobs in fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows.
Why Geneva
ROW ONE is the model agency of THE GOOD STAFF, based in Frankfurt. We book models for productions across Europe, including Geneva and the region, and we are open to applicants who have never modelled before.
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.

Geneva in numbers
Why Geneva
For corporate productions in Geneva we look for commercial and classic models who come across as credible and approachable.
Models from smaller cities like Geneva are on our board too. Jobs come from regional companies and from the larger cities nearby, Lausanne, Bern and Villeurbanne among them.
Luxury brands in Geneva expect poise and discretion. Models from Geneva with showroom experience are booked for campaigns and private sales.
Travel and support
Applicants from Switzerland are welcome. From Geneva 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 Geneva?
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?
No. Application, admission and first polaroids are free. We earn a commission on jobs, never from you.
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 be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
05What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
06Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
07Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Geneva and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
08What 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.
