01
Can I apply if my measurements are off?

The industry requires models within a specific height range (1,70 to 1,80 for women / 1,85 to 1,90 for men) in order to fit the sample sizes. Unless you are still at a growing stage we kindly ask you not to submit if your height falls outside of this range, as your application will not be considered. Don’t hesitate to apply in case you still need to work on other variable measurements. We are also accepting curve and plus size applications.

02
What kind of pictures do I need to apply?

We need to see you at your most natural. We recommend grabbing a friend, parent, or your self-timer and taking some simple snaps with good lighting in front of a plain background. Please do not submit previous modeling shots, your phone camera is enough! If you can, always go for natural light over artificial, and make sure it comes directly from the front. Avoid ceiling lights at all costs! Your best option is to stand in front of a big window. Always keep a straight face (think passport pictures over fashion shoot), chin down, relaxed mouth, and focused eyes. Please do not use your phone’s wide-angle camera to appear taller 👀

03
What should I wear?

We need to be able to see your shape so it's better to wear tight clothes in neutral colors, preferably black. Google “model polaroids” for more inspiration. If you feel confident go for a bikini, but please avoid any type of lingerie.

04
Is makeup allowed?

No makeup and no retouch is allowed, we need to see you as a blank canvas. You can cover a pimple or two, groom your eyebrows and use lip balm, but anything more than that is considered too much and will get your application rejected.

05
WHEN WILL I HEAR BACK?

If we think you have potential we will get back in no time. Unfortunately, if you don’t hear back in a matter of 3 working days it’s most likely your application got rejected. You can try applying with new pictures after a few months.

06
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A MODEL?

Besides having the right look for the industry and our client base, we are searching for people willing to do this professionally. Building a career takes time and commitment from both sides. If you like the idea of leading an international lifestyle, lifetime commitment to sports, proper diet, and personal care, then you are a good match!

07
are you a mother agency?

Yes 👽

08
CAN I APPLY IF I’M NOT BASED IN Bucharest?

Sure! We already represent and manage remotely models from all over the world (and country).

09
ARE THERE ANY COSTS OR FEES?

No, and there should never be when applying to any real agency. Also, all portfolio development costs are paid in advance by the agency, so starting out is easy.

10
dO I HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT?

Yes, it is a mother agency exclusive contract.

11
WHAT IF I'M UNDERAGE?

Parents or a legal guardian are required to sign in case the model is underage. Although we sign models starting 14 years old, your actual career will only take off later in time. To work in European markets you need to be 16+

12
WILL I HAVE TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL?

No, models have worked for generations throughout their teens and mid-twenties successfully managing to both get an education.
