When it comes to modelling, fashion brings with it a whole world of on-trend apparel, splashed with funky key colours, prints and designs. Think of supermodels such as Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, through to Hu Bing and David Gandy strutting it down the catwalk like a boss in statement pieces for top names in fashion like Marc Jacob, Chanel and Max Mara. But fashion modelling goes beyond a catwalk and filters into other industries too, such as advertising and marketing.
Our expert modelling agency , Models Direct, is direct with our approach. We know that fashion models are sought after where our clients are on the lookout for the next model to showcase their products. (We like to tell you how it is, that's our ethos – direct, bold and out-of-the-box).
Our team of modelling experts have in-depth wizardly knowledge that’s been acquired and nurtured through our years of experience in this industry (rolling back since 1990 in case you’re wondering!).
Models Direct want to get the word out that fashion modelling is another booming subsidiary in the modelling world that you can easily break in to. You'll be paid for glamming up and showcasing key apparel – no doubt, a perfect job that you’d love waking up and getting ready for. What’s not to love?
Regardless of age, size or ethnicity, any budding model can tap into this field making it another diverse opportunity to be a part of.

I had fun at my first shoot with MD.
I shot for a promotional campaign for the women's F1, the job was well communicated with me and ran like any other creative job I've been on elsewhere.
It all went well, as expected and met some other lovely girls signed with MD.
Thank you, looking forward to booking my second job with you

Did another modelling shoot today at the Severn Hospice, Telford. Felt humble and most grateful for all the admirable work provided by the staff.
Once again worked with interesting people and every aspect was professional throughout. Support to me was provided pre and post shoot by Gemma from Models Direct which added to making today an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

I had an amazing time working with Models Direct on my very first shoot! We filmed a rugby promotion, and it was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everyone on set was so professional, kind, and supportive, making the whole day fun and stress-free. They really made sure we felt comfortable and confident, which was incredible. I couldn’t recommend Models Direct highly enough—it was an unforgettable experience!

I wasn't nervous before my shoot with the NHS. I had fun chatting to the 'doctor' on the shoot. I just had to lay in bed and answer questions about my reason for being in hospital, then I chatted with the 'doctor' on being discharged. I didn't necessarily learn new skills as I am used to working on stills shoots, but I would recommend this type of work as it is all great experience. In terms of joining an agency, I think you have to be patient and not expect too much too soon. I signed with Models Direct because they approached me.

We were offered the opportunity to help with a 2 day shoot for a company.
We were given all the required information by our bookings manager and supported right up until we attended our location.
We knew exactly what to expect so were able to go and thoroughly enjoy ourselves.
The photo team were excellent and knew what they were trying to achieve with us doing various activities.
So much fun and lovely people.
Thank you all at Models Direct!!

I recently participated in a booking for a new campaign which must remain confidential at this moment.
Photos and videos were taken of us and we got to talk about digital wellbeing in an interview with a real presenter.
I met new kids who are also with models direct who are interested in the same thing as me and we got to know each other have fun and experience shoots together.
I hope there are many more opportunities like his for me in the future.

Very straight forward shoot as an audience member for a filmed presentation. Communication beforehand was great, and overtime was paid for the shoot overunning. All good.

Everybody at Karndean Flooring was most welcoming and made both Fleur (my Great Dane) and I feel at home. We had to complete 3 different shots - two stills and one video. The crews were very patient and explained exactly what they wanted so I was able to direct Fleur accordingly. Fleur and I would definitely like do similar work in the future. The whole day was worthwhile and the venue was very suitable for animals as there was plenty of space for exercising them between shots. My advice to other aspiring pet models and owners? Relax and give it a go!

First JobWith this being my first job in the industry I didn’t really know what to expect. However from the minute I got to the job I was made to feel at ease but also throughout the day. I met some great people, and these people had previous experience. Which really helped me when doing the still shots, as it was meant to show people having a good enjoyable time.I’m looking forward to seeing the final shots, but also hopefully getting more jobs through models direct.
Considering my profile has only been live for 2 weeks, I hope this puts me in good stead.
The whole process has been very professional, Gemma has been brilliant. Sending me all the relevant info, and stating she’s there if you have any questions.Thanks to all at models direct again!

"Yesterday, myself and 4 other lucky models were asked to take part in an ice skating photo shoot at Bluewater Shopping Centre down in Dartford. After a warm welcome from the team, we were treated to getting our make up done by House of Fraser and had the personal stylists from Oasis and Topshop dress us. The day could not have gone any more perfectly. I met some amazing people and Charlie at Models Direct organised everything so smoothly and was extremely helpful. The crew on the day were also extremely attentive. This is my third project with Models Direct, I had such a great time and can't wait for the next one! Thanks for everything guys."

A wonderful exciting experience . It was my first time on shoot and didn't really know what to expect. A warm welcome and pointed in the right direction by the crew. The opportunity to meet other people taking part in the shoot that day was interesting and at the same time intriguing to get to talk to so many different people. My experience of the day was that I had loads of fun and laughs once I became less nervous. The only criticism of the day was the communication it could have been more fluent at times slightly confusing didn't know whether I needed to stay or go? That said all in all a fabulous day with fabulous people thank you for this new experience. Look forward to doing more.
