Lisbon in numbers
Why Lisbon
Around the fashion week in Lisbon we book line-ups for shows and presentations. For fashion models from Lisbon it is the most important time of the year.
Hotels, destinations and lifestyle brands in Lisbon book models for campaigns on location, often at short notice and in daylight. If you live in Lisbon, you have an advantage.
As the capital, Lisbon has agencies, media and brands that look for faces all the time: for campaigns, corporate productions and events. Models from Lisbon often work across several categories.
Travel and support
Applicants from Portugal are welcome. From Lisbon everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Portugal and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Lisbon?
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.
04What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
05Are there jobs in Lisbon?
Yes. Clients in Lisbon and in Amadora, Queluz and Setúbal book through us; campaigns and shows also take you to Amadora, Queluz and Setúbal.
06Will 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.
07Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
08Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Not for the application. The first conversation is a video call; castings happen in the region or in Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train.
