Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Sunderland?
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.
04Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
05What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07Do I have to come to Frankfurt?
Only if it suits you. From Sunderland the interview happens online, polaroids follow our guide, castings take place where the jobs are.
08From what age can I apply?
From 18 without further ado, from 16 with parental consent. There is no upper limit: classic models over 40 are in demand.
