Become a model: Requirements
Models in Milan face particular competitive pressure. One of the basic requirements is height. A minimum height of 1.75 m has been considered one of the entry cards for a professional modeling career for years (in general, exceptions do exist, but they are rare). Although exceptions like Kate Moss repeatedly make headlines, these models remain the exception rather than the rule for a professional model agency. Age is also a decisive factor as the second criterion. Most newcomers start modeling between the ages of 16 and 20. Some models are discovered even earlier, although these are usually occasional side jobs that require parental consent until the age of majority. Other characteristics also play a significant role in modeling. Above all, these include clear skin with no visible pores as well as well-groomed hair that allows for a variety of different looks.
Anyone who meets these basic requirements and has long considered working as a model can take the first step toward a modeling career by submitting an application to a Milan-based model agency. For this, both a formal letter and professionally taken photographs by a photographer are required. Those who have already worked as models usually have a portfolio, which should not be missing at any interview. Reputable agencies do not charge their models for being added to their card index or for creating a sedcard. These expenses are considered an investment, as the agencies also earn a share of the profits from their models’ future bookings. Another basic requirement for working as a model is to demonstrate discipline. This applies to every type of booking as well as the castings that take place beforehand.

Jobs & Booking for Advertising and Fashion
As a model, the tasks are extremely diverse. In advertising it starts with shootings for Instagram, for example product photos as a hand model, and as you get better you will do online shop photos and with a lot of practice even your first commercials. Then there is also the huge area of fashion: from the lookbook for star designers to the fashion show.
Fashion and fashion show
Many young models initially always think first of the fashion show! Did you know? Before you start on a fashion show, your first bookings are usually in the showroom. In the showroom, designers present their fashion. Customers take a look at the pieces you present as a model. Here you meet designers, but also learn punctuality and discipline. If you convince your customers, and therefore also your agency, you will also get jobs for shows. If you have the perfect measurements, you can also work internationally and travel from Milan to the big metropolises, such as Paris, London and New York. Here you can walk for the biggest designers in the world. A real dream for every new model from Milan!
Advertising, Online Shop and Social Media
Advertising is a multifaceted area full of various challenges. Besides the already mentioned photo shoots for Instagram and online stores, there are even greater challenges. Just think about an outdoor shoot where you, along with four other models, have to run, laugh, and interact at the same time. All five models must be perfectly in sync when the camera is triggered, so that your photographer is guaranteed to have strong photos to choose from. Commercial spots are even more demanding—think about speaking roles, acting, and of course, travel planning.
Influencer Marketing and Concept
Since we work a lot with fashion and advertising agencies and young models, Instagram, YouTube, and also TikTok are always very close to us. Therefore, many customers in Milan also come back to us in the topic of influencer marketing and concepts. Social media marketing goes much deeper, from the concept to the strategy, up to the building of reach, content creation, and naturally also monitoring. However, the analysis is always at the beginning.
We check and analyze the proven media key figures and opportunities for your advertising campaign in Berlin or regionally, as well as for later reports (monitoring = quality assessment of individual campaigns). When it comes to advertising campaigns and concepts for multimedia marketing, we look very closely as a media agency at possible opportunities and potentials within the target group. With 3.5 million inhabitants, Berlin is one of the largest German cities – better yet, Berlin is the largest city and therefore also holds the most potential.
Every day, users from Berlin alone give 2,369,905 likes, send a total of 5,266,455 messages to friends and family, or upload 184,326 images daily. In addition, there are 2,501,566 interactions in social networks every day – figures upon figures. Here, advertising to the right target group is a real art! Companies, whether in fashion or more traditional industries, statistically invest over 370 million euros just in online advertising, just in Berlin. Almost half a billion euros for digital advertising, every year. During prime time, around 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., even 739,207 users are online in social networks at the same time – the best advertising time, just like on TV. Berlin thus significantly shapes media usage in Berlin. Therefore, influencer marketing is also gaining influence. We help you find the right way.

Become a model – Fashion, Advertising and Magazines
A significant part of the job consists of waiting times, working hours that often extend well into the night, and holding poses for the perfect image. All of this is just as much a part of the job as makeup and hair styling. Since young girls or male models are only a part of a whole team, it is important to suppress one’s ego and quickly demonstrate a professional work attitude in order to be truly successful as a model. Therefore, the punctuality of a model is one of the keys to success. This is especially true for outdoor shootings, where often little time remains to make use of the perfect lighting conditions. Discipline and punctuality are already instilled in many German models from an early age in Milan.
It is also important not to underestimate the ability to take criticism to heart, but not to lose the joy of the profession due to frequent rejections during castings. Because often the people in charge already have a clear image of the models for their campaigns in mind, where even small details can be the deciding factor for a rejection. Therefore, for a successful modeling career, it is a big advantage to build a network. With contacts to photographers or other people in the fashion industry or advertising, it is easier to remain memorable and thus be in the shortlist for a future project. The dependence on castings is much less strong through the network than without these additional opportunities and chances.
Minimum height: Measurements and Weight
The “right” measurements and the “perfect” weight are always a topic for models, even from the very first second. However, there is no single ideal image, different areas require different foundations. For High Fashion, slim and tall is the standard, while for Commercial (advertising) the conditions are already more flexible. The requirements also vary depending on whether you want to work nationally or internationally. Roughly, the sizes can be divided like this. The closer you are to these measurements, the better the requirements – aside from personality.
- Women
Body height for fashion: 176 – 180cm / International
Slim figure, usually long hair - Men
Body height for fashion: 186 – 190cm / International
Slim or slightly athletic figure
Model Application: Cover letter and Photos
The most important rule is to keep your cover letter short at all times – ideally, always use the application form on the website. Why? Here, all the important information is already requested, so you can’t forget anything, but you also don’t invest too much time in your model agency cover letter and your application. After all, in a reputable and good model agency, up to 50 to 100 applications may arrive daily. If there is only one scout in the agency, he has only a few seconds for each application, aside from his actual agency work. Therefore, you need to stand out with your photo, not with a long cover letter. How to do this, you will learn here: Photos for Applications.
Model Agency: Introduction and Interview
At every job interview, stage fright increases, of course also when presenting yourself at the model agency. But there’s one thing you need to know, top agencies like ours and others are super friendly! Why? Because photoshoots and video shoots are all about fun, joy, and laughter – almost always. That’s why a trusting collaboration with your model management is essential. That’s exactly why you start off friendly from the very first minute and it stays that way! Therefore, you don’t need to have stage fright, just be completely natural! Here you can find more tips for your job interview.
Requirements: Modeling with Ambition and Discipline
Requirements for models vary greatly, depending on which market you want to / will be working in. Here you can distinguish between:
- National, Intercontinental or International?
- High Fashion and Haute Couture or Commercial (Advertising)?
- Age and Competition?
Best Agers over 60 have very little competition, but it’s completely different with New Faces! If you make it to cities like New York, Paris, or Milan, you’ll also see it at castings. But there are also many people in Berlin who want to become models. So what’s important for you is always: patience, ambition, and discipline. Because no one becomes a star overnight.
Fashion show: Haute Couture & Pret-A-Porter
You’ve never heard of High Fashion, Haute Couture, or Pret-A-Porter before? Then read through our basics here so that you know exactly what to say during your next small talk or during your first visit to a model agency.
Multi Talents – International Advertising Productions
Commercials as a model are not only shot for the German market, they are often also published in other countries all over the world.
Commercials for Streaming, TV and Cinema
Once you’ve made it, many doors will open to you. A good model agency is your key to international partner agencies, advertising agencies, creative directors, casting agencies, and much more. This naturally leads to steps into international jobs, such as here with Janine and Mark for Henkell. A super success and your way to great jobs, travels, and interesting people around models, photographers, and many others.
Application, Casting & Jobs!
Become a model – The big dream! Photoshoots, Instagram, traveling and meeting many interesting and colorful people at exclusive influencer events. The truth is: The journey is long.

Modeling in Milan
Milan models who believe glamorous photo shoots and the elegant walk on the catwalk are the only facets of the profession soon experience the other sides of a model’s daily life. This includes, for example, the competitive situation that the predominantly young girls face not only at the model agency, but also at the castings. Fixed appointments are only given in individual cases at these events, which is why waiting times make up a large part of everyday life. In addition, a model only earns money with the jobs, not with the castings. However, there is no guarantee that a casting will lead to a coveted job. But one should not lose courage and think positively.
Between Dream Job and Reality
The prevailing belief to date that models can earn a lot of money in a short time and lead a luxurious life is only a reality for very few models. For the majority of models in Berlin or other cities, this profession is a full-time job that leaves little free time or room for other activities. Instead of starting in their own apartment, modeling careers predominantly begin with other models in a shared apartment, which rarely matches the standard they are used to at home. Living in these shared apartments also includes constantly changing roommates, leaving little time to get to know each other or form deeper friendships. As a model, you are therefore often on the move and must be prepared for every situation. Take a look here at the Model Basics on traveling, castings, and jobs.
A stepping stone to an international career between Paris and New York
Milan is still regarded by many models as a stepping stone to international model metropolises such as Paris, Rome or New York. Once they arrive here, the international competition of the most beautiful models from all six continents reaches a new level. Because every model who has made it this far is pursuing the same goal – to walk the runways during the major fashion weeks and present the latest collections of the most renowned designers. Naturally, only the models who have achieved this goal with the help of a model agency become publicly known, such as Gigi Hadid. The many unknown faces in the modeling industry quickly fade into oblivion. What distinguishes these few lucky ones today, besides their jobs, is also the promotion of their own person on social networks. From Instagram to Facebook, a successful modeling career today is connected with much more self-initiative than just photo shoots or catwalk appearances. In the end, however, it is always luck that decides which model people will still remember in 10 or 20 years.
Model jobs: Waiting time and professionalism
In the job, a model’s daily routine in Milan also repeatedly consists of waiting times. For the model, this means sitting still for several minutes or even hours during makeup and styling, or waiting for the setup of a shoot. Anyone who loses patience here not only behaves unprofessionally, but also leaves a negative impression on the client. This applies not only to behavior, as the model’s body also becomes a symbol of their own professionalism. Appearing at the set with oily hair or skin imperfections is therefore just as much of a no-go as letting oneself go. Clients expect this from the models they book, as well as from the model agency, since each shoot is usually associated with a tight schedule and an exact budget, leaving little room for a new casting. In this regard, the daily routine on set has little in common with what casting shows for models convey. After all, in the real working world of a model, it’s not the jury’s evaluation that counts, but rather whether the model fits the respective collection or advertising concept. Being at the right place at the right time is therefore the true catalyst for a long-term career as a model.
