some of the industry’s highest paid models and most prominent fashion editors, photographers, art directors, designers and fashion stylists.

in New York’s Fashion Week is an amazing opportunity for a new model.
However most of the opportunities during Fashion Week are given to
established models. Additionally, many of the events are only open to fashion industry professionals,
top models, buyers, media, celebrities and socialites. However, in
recent years other cities throughout the United States have begun to
launch their own version of Fashion Week, which are far more accessible
for individuals new the industry. These events found in San Francisco,
Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore and many other cities can be a
great opportunity for new models to either break into the industry or work as interns and volunteers to learn more about the business and make useful contacts.
So how do you get your foot in the door? Contact the Fashion Week staff listed on the website
to inquire about opportunities for new models or interns and

photographers that are participating are usually posted on the website,
so feel free to contact them directly as well.
