Oslo in numbers
Why Oslo
In the capital in Norway models are booked for editorial, advertising and events; demand is broad, and so is the competition. We place selectively, not in bulk.
Oslo is big enough for its own production scene. If you live here, studios and sets are usually a train ride away, and many jobs are day productions.
Around the fashion week in Oslo we book line-ups for shows and presentations. For fashion models from Oslo it is the most important time of the year.
Travel and support
Oslo is 1,098 kilometres from Frankfurt, reachable by plane or train. We work with models across Norway; interview and polaroids happen by video, castings in the region or on set.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Oslo?
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.
04What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
05Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Yes. Classic models are in demand for commercial, corporate and healthcare productions; there is no upper age limit.
08Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
