Try on clothes and get paid for it!
See director of fit modeling, Michelle Mokalla, on The View from the Bay talking about fit modeling at Marla Dell Talent Inc.  |
Our fit modeling division caters to fashion industry leaders like the Gap, Levi-Strauss, Old Navy, and Banana Republic among many others. Fit modeling is an aspect of the modeling industry most people are not familiar with.
When people think of "modeling" they think of fashion shows and photo-shoots but this is a special kind of modeling. Fit models get the rare opportunity to work closely with designers, merchandisers, and buyers. This job requires models to try on sample clothing so the technical design staff can determine if there are garment imperfections or if style changes are needed before it is mass-produced and distributed to stores. Listed below are the specific fit modeling catergoies and size measurements required by various companies.
A fit model’s schedule will vary depending on their particular measurements; there could be the opportunity to work part-time on a daily basis or only 1 to 3 hours per week. Fit rates for adults range from $85-$187.50 per hour and children range $82-$130 per hour. Please keep in mind that in some cases travel is required.
Unlike the unpredictable world of print modeling and acting, fit modeling is a great way to work steadily in this business! Please keep in mind that fittings are often booked last minute, so you must live within one hour of the San Francisco Bay Area. We encourage you to send in your measurements along with your submissions. If you are only interested in fit modeling, please forward your measurements along with your availability and contact information to michelle@marladell.com.
How To Measure
How to Submit
1. Enclose two to three 4x6 snapshots, both close-up and body. Please put your name, address, phone number and all measurements on the back of each photo. Please include your e-mail address so that we may contact you to set up an interview if we are interested in representing you or your child. Do not invest in professional pictures, snapshots are sufficient.
2. Please include a cover letter or a letter of introduction.
3. Please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope so we can send your photos back to you. Please do not submit cd's as pictures as we do not have time to review electronic files.
