The Winter Sales with Models Direct

Tips for the Winter Sales from Models Direct

Before you leave the house to hit the sales, you should know exactly what you’re looking for and how much you can spend. First of all, figure out how much you’d be happy to spend, and then decide how much you can really take with you. Having a strict budget will stop you from overspending. If you’re the type of person who puts things on credit card habitually and sometimes loses track, take cash with you and leave the cards at home!

To be able to identify the real bargains you’ll need a reference point in terms of prices. We have all seen shops with constant ‘sales’ on, but the items were never, and will never be, the full marked price. Retailers use this tactic to make things seem like even better value so don’t be fooled into making impulse buys before checking prices online.

You can use your phone to search the bar-code or the brand and style online. Doing this means you won’t be duped into thinking you have a real bargain and then going home to see the same item on the net for less! If you’re on the hunt for a new look for a photo shoot, perhaps with an eye to get into fashion modelling, agencies like Models Direct can often give guidance. It’s too easy to get bogged down trying to compare prices between stores and online, so if it starts getting stressful just remember your spending rules and remember what you needed to buy. If you stick to the rules, you won’t find yourself unloading bag after bag in the lounge and wondering what on earth you were thinking! The returns queues are at their longest after sales because too many women fall into this trap. Also remember that you often can’t get a cash refund for discounted items and might end up with a lot of store credit that you don’t really want.

Models Direct Male Modelling Beauty Advice

Models Direct Male Modelling Beauty Advice

Models Direct help aspiring male models break into the industry. Here are some tips that you, to succeed in male modelling, should bear in mind.

Models Direct

Modelling is a profession where presentation is extremely important because it caters to the visual aspect. Therefore, grooming is an extremely important factor. They say that the cameras do not lie and hence your overall appearance matters a lot. 

Hair is an important feature that draws immediate attention. The hair style should be neat whether your hair is short or long. Keeping your hair clean is your duty. If you have long hair, then clean it in sections, whereas short hair is easy to clean. Remember you cannot afford to have dandruff on your scalp and hairs.

Face is another vital factor. If you have a good facial structure, you are blessed. Even if you do not have that, it is important to keep your skin glowing. This is one of the most important male model tips for grooming. Stay away from strong astringents and clean your face often which will remove the dirt. However, use products that suit your skin type.

Feedback for Modelling Job (Coco Blu - £80):


Theo was chosen to do his second clothes fittings with Old Brown/Coco Blu.  We arrived and were greeted by the same friendly faces who immediately made Theo feel comfortable and at ease. They took attention to detail such as making sure the heating was right and they engaged with Theo on his level. The experience was quick and very welcoming just like his first clothes fittings session. Theo has now had 3 jobs with Talent Management, who have kept me well informed and put him forward for the roles which were very suitable to his character and talent. Theo was provided with a boys magazine which catered to him to keep him entertained and engaged.

I would surely recommend other parents consider modelling for their children through Talent Management as it has helped Theo grow in confidence, especially at his age where he is growing into a boy rather than a toddler.  Talent Management have kept me as a parent up to date and I am so very proud to have Theo as a model with the agency.  We look forward to more adventures with Talent Management!

Baby Modelling Tips

Are you convinced your baby has modelling potential? Models Direct has a few tips to help you out!

 It can be a fun way to fill the first year and spend time with your new-born. While my heart burst at the seams when her pictures appeared in magazines and catalogs, what I wasn't expecting was how it developed her confidence and self-esteem. It also teaches babies about working with others.

To find a reputable baby and child model agency, search online, and ask mums whose children model about their experiences. Do your research and avoid makeover studios posing as modelling agencies. In order to get an agency to see the potential in your baby, get professional, simple shots taken. These should not be airbrushed or digitally manipulated.

No silly shots in sunglasses or eating ice cream. Clear facial head shots and full-length shots are best at showing if your baby has what it takes.
Agencies are always looking for new-borns because they have a short modelling span.

They are always on the lookout for the next fresh face. Six months is a popular age because by then babies are sociable and smiley, plus they're stronger and starting to sit. It is before they reach the terrible two’s!

One thing that's guaranteed is if you've spent three hours on a packed train getting to a job or casting, you'll arrive with a grumpy tired toddler. You need to sacrifice your time to take your baby to these modelling auditions, and they might not get the part. If you know a good local agency, use them.

Models Direct Review: Become A Child Model

Models Direct

At Models Direct we pride ourselves on the service we offer. We are here to get you work and make your career happen. For more information, visit the Models Direct website. Here is a real review written by one of our new clients. 

You have probably covered this kind of story before but here goes. We are the parents of a 4 year old boy. We have always had lots of comments about how good looking he is and so decided to put him forward for modelling. We sent his picture to start up models who then rang us and raved about his look. Big ego boost to us but questions in our mind about how legit it was. Went for the photo shoot with them where he was a natural and they again raved about him. Then talked us into paying for a portfolio of 10 photos for £600 (rip off???!!!). We then sent these photos of to a number of agencies and at least 12 agencies got back to us offering to represent him, either for a hefty registration fee or after we had paid for more photos. As new parents to this industry you feel as though you are being conned at every turn and that people are playing on your role as doting parents. How do you know who to trust?
Look forward to hearing from you

Ps.
Our son is registered with talent management who did charge a registration fee but who also offered services that the other agencies did not offer.
