This is the agency’s 2017 auditions that is set for Saturday at the Paddock in the capital city. The agency is looking forward to selecting 40 models both female and male.
The agency is mainly scouting for plus-size, ramp, advertorial models to feature on TV commercials and billboards, promo models to do shoots for clothing brands to mention just a few.
“There are different categories in modelling that require different things, for example fashion modelling is very strict and requires tall and slim models with no compromise. Then we have commercial modelling, which is not strict on height and type of body,” Leatile Motlhalamme, the X models director said, as he validated why they are scouting for all-size models.
When attending the auditions models are required to bring a Zcard and to those that do not have one they should bring full body A4 pictures in colour format.
Motlhalamme noted that apart from body size the agency does not have much restrictions as it is also calling out for models that are parents, with skin-related challenges such as stretch marks and spots. He advised models to make some research on modelling prior to coming for the auditions.
A panel of modelling fashion and creatives will be put as judges to select the best 40 models at the auditions.
The two-year-old modelling agency is the home of albino models Rumbi and Junior Motsopa.
The agency has previously done jobs for different commercial entities such as banks, ministries and parastatals.
The auditions are set to begin at 9am till 5pm. Models are required to bring P100 for registration, Black Vest and Black Jeans and heels for female models.
