Models
Austin Fashion Week is always looking for fresh faces that can strut their stuff down the catwalk. If you’re interested in modeling, you don’t necessarily need experience and we cast models of all genders, ethnicities, ages, sizes and ability levels. All applicants will be invited to an open model call and we’ll take it from there!
MODEL INFORMATION
Austin Fashion Week focuses on inclusive runways. We cast models that fit the more traditional “professional model” category along with models of various sizes, abilities, genders and more.
While the majority of the models we cast are people we’ve worked with in the past, we are always on the lookout for fresh faces.
Typically, we host at least one open model call each season. Once you have completed the application, you will be given further model call details. You will not hear from us until a couple of weeks before the model call. The next model call will be held in September 2025.
If you have a child that would like to model, please complete the application, but opportunities for children models are extremely limited.
Please note: All Austin Fashion Week events are 100% inclusive. We do not discriminate for any reason whatsoever. You can have an intellectual or physical disability. You can be transgender. You can be short or tall. You can be size 0 to size 100. We are always willing to review any potential model and will ultimately cast models based on designer needs and wants and how those align with our mission.
Please apply using the form below and give us as much information as possible.
