Fashion models are sometimes featured in films reality TV shows (America’s Next Top Model and The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency); and music videos (“Freedom! ’90”, “Wicked Game”, “Daughters” and “Blurred Lines”).
Networking and connections are another essential but challenging aspect of the industry. Knowing the right photographers, stylists, agents, and designers can open doors, but building these relationships requires time, persistence, and often a willingness to work for little or no pay in the beginning. For many, this creates an additional barrier to entry.
