Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Solingen?
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.
04Will I hear back?
With a clear yes or no, once we have looked at your photos. If yes, we propose a date for the video call.
05Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
06Are there jobs in Solingen?
Solingen and the region offer jobs in e-commerce, commercial and events; for fashion and shows we book in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich as well.
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.
08Which photos should I send?
Four natural photos: face front, face profile, full body front, full body side. Daylight, plain clothes, no make-up, no filters.
