Become a model in Winterthur
Want to become a model in Winterthur? ROW ONE accepts applications from Winterthur and the surrounding area free of charge: four natural photos, your measurements and contact details are enough. You hear from us either way, and we meet by video call or at a casting nearby. No fees, no courses, jobs in fashion, commercial, e-commerce and shows.
Why Winterthur
Winterthur is 290 kilometres from our Frankfurt office, reachable by plane or train. The first conversation happens by video call; castings and polaroids are done in the region or in Frankfurt, depending on what is easier for you.
The agency grew out of THE GOOD STAFF, which has staffed events for years. We know what clients book, and we only take models we can actually place. That is why the board is small and the jobs are real.

Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Winterthur?
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.
04Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
05Do you also represent men?
Men are welcome; many jobs in Winterthur and in the region are for mixed line-ups.
06Will 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.
07Which 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.
08Do I have to be exclusive with ROW ONE?
You decide. Some models are exclusive with us, others are not; both work.
