Here you want to see the famous “fire in the eyes” as an agency, so that you realize that the person in front of you really wants the job.įIV – About the performance in your agency I have a few more questions about your personal tips. At the same time you learn a lot about the model, the personality, your own ambitions and of course your appearance. Here you talk to each other in detail, models get to know the agency, the bookers but also the cooperation. In the second round we get to know each other at the introduction in the model agency. In the end, everything plays a role in the selection and selection process. During the quick evaluation there are many interesting details that make a model unique, for us as Model Scouts.Īccordingly, the decision-making process in agency meetings is often long, for example after a casting with 100 models. From striking faces, to extraordinary faces, freckles, the taunt of the skin, long and short hair or even tooth gaps. After that it is all about the contours of the face but also all the subtleties and special features that everyone has. Minimum size and proportions are always the first requirements. Discipline and ambition are unfortunately not apparent at first glance! In those few moments when you see someone who wants to become a model, it is primarily about figure and proportion. Stephan Czaja – Scouting is all about body size, facial contours and figure. What do you pay attention to when scouting young models, when you see and meet a potential model in the agency, or in other words, how do you recognize a good model as a model agent?

In return, we expect exactly the qualities I mentioned at the beginning of the interview: discipline and ambition. We as an agency pay and finance these trips, later on they are billed. This is also where you can get the leading brands in fashion such as Hermes, Burberry, Dior, Prada, Givenchy and many more. Young models then live in model shared flats, attend many castings every day and ideally get their first jobs. Stephan Czaja – After the build-up during his school time and after the first jobs, models who meet the requirements of size and proportion usually go to a city for 2 to 3 months. In cities like Shanghai, London but also New York there are the big advertising campaigns, haute couture shows, brands – For models, cities like New York, LA, Paris, Milan, London but also Shanghai and Hong Kong are the place to be.įIV – How does a model get jobs abroad? Are they individual campaigns or do you spend more time on location? The own model portfolio becomes stronger and stronger by new photo shoots and therefore models get bigger jobs. The more experience, the more different photo series, the better for the model. It’s not only about jobs, but also about international experience and of course photo shootings with the top photographer. Stephan Czaja – As a model who works professionally and wants to make a living from it, it is very advantageous to have worked in these cities for a certain time.
Modeling abroad: Paris, New York, London, ShanghaiįIV – So Paris, New York, Shanghai are the big destinations for models? The competition is fierce, especially when a model later goes to the big fashion capitals, to Paris, New York, Shanghai or Milan. That means punctuality, reliability and stamina.Īdded to this is ambition, that is the own, independent will to improve constantly. That’s why the discipline of a model is at the beginning of all. Stephan Czaja – discipline and ambition! Beautiful looks, talent for the catwalk and fashion shows, photo shoots, commercials, that everything can only be checked later. They work with companies like Hermès, Prada, CK, Dior, Nike, Levis, and many more.įIV – My first question: What do you think makes a good model? CM is one of the leading agencies in Germany with jobs all over Europe but also in USA and Asia.
If anyone knows what he’s doing, he does! We were able to meet him today between two appointments for an interview. Stephan Czaja is owner of CM Models, author of The Model Book, he brokers luxury real estate and has one of the leading social media agencies in Germany.
