Why Utrecht
For models from Utrecht the fairs (Jaarbeurs) are fixed dates in the calendar: product presentations, shows on the stand, content for social media.
As a university city, Utrecht is home to many young faces, and brands shoot campus and recruiting campaigns here. Students from Utrecht apply to us particularly often.
Utrecht is a mid-sized city where companies produce catalogues, campaigns and events. Many jobs for models from Utrecht are also in Amersfoort, Almere Stad and Amsterdam.
Travel and support
Applicants from Netherlands are welcome. From Utrecht everything up to the first casting happens online; jobs are in Netherlands and in Germany, with travel paid by the client.

Safety

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Utrecht?
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.
04What about my photos and data?
Your data stays with us and is deleted after the process if we do not work together. Nothing is shared without your agreement.
05Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
06Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
07Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Utrecht and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
08From what age can I apply?
From 18 directly. Between 16 and 17 with your parents' consent; we contact them before the first casting.
