Designer Model Selections.  More will be announced for Saturday(SEP 28) and Sunday (SEP 29).

All models selected for DC Fashion Week are in the finale’s model opening. Models must wear all black to participate. This is the final opportunity for all to see the model talent selected for cycle 41.

These are some of the designers’ model selections. We will continue to update the list as the information becomes available.

This page is only for Models, Volunteers, and support staff. Please do not share this webpage link with outside parties. It is only intended to be viewed by participating Models and Volunteers, not designers. Please note the schedule is subject to change. Models should visit this webpage for the latest information on fashion week.

***NOTE: Models do not get complimentary or discounted tickets to Saturday Show (Emerging Designers) or Sunday Show (International Couture Collections). You do not need a ticket as you are in the show, but parents, spouses, family members, managers, and others are REQUIRED to purchase a ticket.

PLEASE email US AT  castings@dcfashionweek.org. Please DO NOT call our office numbers; we must keep them open for designers, press, buyers, vendors, and those interested in attending our events. Do not email the executive director (Mr. Ean Williams) at all, but you are welcome to do so after fashion week.

Some designers will make their model selections on the show date.

The most critical document that DC Fashion Week uses to help provide essential information to prospective agencies and designers is your model stat sheet. These sheets are given to designers. This marketing tool helps designers select models for their fashion presentations. Do not guess your model’s measurements. Leave it blank and ask a DCFW staff member for assistance if unsure. Models must have several copies of their model stat sheet at each DC Fashion Week fitting or fashion show. We recommend bringing ten copies.

MODEL STAT SHEET

Please email castings@dcfashionweek.org with your model stat sheet and include your model audition number. If you do not do this, the designers will not be able to select you for their clothing. The email must be received within one week of the auditions. 

Link to Model Stat Sheet

PLEASE DO NOT put your contact information (i.e., email, telephone number) on your model stat sheet. Only DCFW will have your contact information, which is not shared. Designers will communicate directly with DC Fashion Week, and DCFW Staff will usually communicate directly with models via email. We prefer all communications to be in writing, so DCFW will not usually call a model unless it is an emergency or time-sensitive.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR EMAIL OR CONTACT INFORMATION ON THIS SHEET. Print at least ten copies of your stat sheet and put them in your model bag!  This page is only for models and support staff. Please do not share this webpage link with outside parties. It is only intended to be viewed by participating models and designers. Please note the schedule is subject to change. 

***NOTE:   Please DO NOT call our office numbers, as we must keep them open for designers, press, buyers, and vendors, and it opens the door to other lucrative job leads. One photo from this exciting event could launch your modeling career. Models are presented with all types of networking opportunities as well. Fashion photographers, designers, casting agents, modeling agencies, film producers, and recording artists are just a few industry professionals attending DCFASHIONWEEK and looking for new model talent.

Please help support Fashion Week by encouraging friends, family, social networks, etc., to come to Fashion Week.
