Lille for international models
- Non-EU models need a work permit; the French agency applies for it once a placement is agreed – you cannot work on a tourist visa.
- Fashion weeks: late February–early March and late September–early October; agencies book castings weeks ahead.
- Commission is regulated: the agency takes its fee from the client side as well as a share from the model, both stated in the contract.
- Most Paris agencies accept applications online with digitals and measurements; many prefer an introduction from a mother agency.
How to spot a real model agency
- A real agency never charges for applying, “registration” or a place in its book. It earns a commission when the model gets paid work.
- It does not push you into an expensive shoot with “its” photographer. Simple, unretouched digitals (polaroids) are all a first test needs.
- You can take the contract home; it states the commission and the term clearly.
- It represents real models who work for known clients, which you can check in their portfolios and on social media.
- Minors are only ever spoken to with their parents present.
How to apply to any of these agencies
- Take 4–6 simple photos in daylight: face front, profile, half and full length. No make-up, fitted dark clothes.
- Measure your height, bust, waist and hips, and note your shoe size.
- Use the agency's own form where it has one; otherwise e-mail your digitals and measurements. Never pay to apply.
