What to expect at the model casting in Barcelona
A live casting differs fundamentally from a classic online application. You meet our scouting team in person, receive direct feedback and have the chance to show your personality in just a few minutes — something no photo in the world can replace. Those who want to know how a professional
The typical on-site procedure
After your registration, you will receive an invitation with the exact time and address in Barcelona. On site, you will be interviewed briefly first, then we will take some photos — professional shots are not necessary, a natural look is explicitly desired.

What happens after the casting?

Requirements for the Casting in Barcelona
A common question is: Do I need to meet certain measurements or a minimum height? The honest answer is — it depends on the segment. The classic high-fashion world has different requirements than commercial modelling or curvy modelling. At our casting, we are looking for talents for various areas, which is why we explicitly invite models outside of traditional standard measurements.
Height and Measurements — what really matters
Those who want to find out about specific requirements will find a detailed overview at Model Measurements and Requirements. For anyone unsure whether their height is sufficient, a look at
Curvy and Plus-Size Models are welcome
The market for Curvy Models is growing constantly — brands worldwide are embracing real diversity in their campaigns. Those who want to become a Curvy Model have better chances than ever before. The segment of models of larger sizes is also developing rapidly. Our Barcelona casting is explicitly open to all body types.
A quick overview of the most common requirements by model segment:
| Segment | Minimum height (Women) | Minimum height (Men) | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Fashion / Runway | from 175 cm | from 185 cm | Fashion show, Editorial |
| Commercial | from 168 cm | from 178 cm | Advertising, Catalogue |
| Curvy / Plus-Size | from 168 cm | individual | Fashion, Lifestyle |
| Fitness / Sports | from 165 cm | from 178 cm | Sport, Beauty |
| Petite | under 170 cm | under 180 cm | Online, Social Media |

After Barcelona — where will your career take you?
Barcelona is the starting point, not the destination. Models we scout in Barcelona then work across Europe and worldwide. The most well-known platforms are the major Fashion Weeks: anyone wanting to walk the runway should find out more about
Jobs in German and European markets
Many of our models start locally and then grow internationally. Those who initially want to work in the German-speaking region will find excellent entry opportunities through the
Modelling alongside a career — is that possible?
Yes — and it is more common than you might think. Many successful models start their modelling career as a side job before making the full switch. How this works in practice is shown in the article on
- Barcelona → agency contract → first jobs
- Test shoots for a portfolio and book
- Go-sees with brands and photographers
- Casting for Fashion Weeks and campaigns
- International representation via agency

Frequently asked questions about casting in Barcelona
Do I need modelling experience to apply?
No — experience is explicitly not a requirement. We are looking for fresh faces and undiscovered talents. Many of our most successful models had no prior experience at their first casting. What matters is presence, naturalness and the will to make something of the opportunity.
What does participation in the casting cost?
The application and casting process are completely free of charge. Reputable modelling agencies never ask for advance fees for castings. If you have questions about costs in the modelling industry, we recommend the article on
Which photos should I send for the application?
Current smartphone photos are sufficient — ideally a full-body shot and a portrait, each in good light, without heavy filters. A natural look is better than elaborate make-up. We want to see how you really look — not an over-edited version of it.
What happens if I am not selected for the casting?
A single casting is never the final word. The fashion market is diverse, and a “not now” does not mean “never”. We will give you honest feedback and show you alternatives if applicable — for example, other segments or markets where your look is in higher demand. Additionally, it’s worth regularly checking the requirements for becoming a model, as requirements can change depending on the market and season.
