MODEL CALL FAQ
Who can attend?
- Each designer chooses their own models based on what fits their collection best, so we encourage models of all shapes, colors, and sizes to come! We do not place any requirements on weight or body type but we do require a minimum height of 5’6” without heels. This streamlines the tailoring process when designers sell pieces from the runway - it’s easier to hem a garment than add material!
- Models should be at least 12 years old. Parker Fashion Week and Develop Model Management do not cast children during our Model Calls. Our models typically range in age from 12-30 (female) and 15-30 (male), but designers choose all ages!
What should I wear?
Men and women alike should wear something form fitting so designers can see your silhouette. Preferably ALL BLACK. Women are encouraged to wear heels at least 3 inches tall when recording their runway walk. We also suggest avoiding jewelry that will make loud noises as you walk. This is distracting to those trying to see your talent!
What do I need?
Yourself! A positive attitude, a cloth measuring tape, and a smart phone or computer to complete registration. Men: it is helpful if you know your inseam measurement ahead of time.
Who can see the photos and video taken of me at Model Call?
After Model Call, photo and video is uploaded to a private website. The link to this site is shared only with current Parker Fashion Week designers for the purpose of selecting their models.
When do I find out if I made the cut?
Selected models will be notified by email. If you were not selected, you will not receive any notification. Please do not email Parker Fashion Week or Develop Model Management regarding your status. It is very important that you provide an accurate email address so you can be notified if you were cast!
What if I don't make it?
Don't be discouraged! Stay tuned to Parker Fashion Week social media and website for information on our next model call. Each season brings a new set of designers looking for a different aesthetic. Or if you still want to be involved, consider volunteering at our shows to learn more about Omaha Fashion Week!
