Happy
Works with: women, men
Happy is a modeling agency based in Paris, France, founded in 2005. It holds the state licence required to place models in its country and is a member of SYNAM.
How to apply to Happy
- Apply through the agency's own online form – the link is above. Prepare 4–6 unretouched digitals and your measurements.
- Check its website or Instagram for open-call days; if none are listed, apply online.
- If you are represented by a mother agency, let it make the introduction – that is how most placements abroad start.
- Models from abroad can apply; a work permit is arranged by the agency once a placement is agreed.
- Never pay to apply. A licensed agency earns a commission on your work, nothing upfront.

What you need before applying
