MODELING IN THE CITY OF ANGELS & THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Modeling in Los Angeles is becoming one of the newest destinations for models who wanted to have the variety and diversity in their career.
Not to be compared to, say, a 3-week stay in Paris for a dip in the runway arena and be fitted for a trendy Dior Homme suit or a "chaotic" trip to Milan for 3 shows, LA offers something these fashion capitals do not have- Hollywood and the chance to be seen with the stars.
As enticing as having a first big name fashion campaign, most models would not pass on the opportunity to take on Hollywood and be directed by Steve Sodderberg or Wes Anderson.
As the LA modeling industry thrives to make it as competitive as its New York rival, it offers production shows for avant-garde and new & upcoming designers. Of course, these agencies also do business all over California and even Arizona.
