Several models missed rehearsal/fitting on FEB 8 for various reasons. We are now requesting the designers to send us their updated model selections as some made changes. The designers who were not at the fitting will keep the same models they already selected.

If you are a model for @fedelenero, contact him on instagram to let him know you are still availble for his collection. Only models who are already selected by the designer should contact him.

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 the model stat sheet. These sheets are given to designers. This marketing tool allows designers to 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 [email protected] 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 speak 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, and social networks to attend.

MODEL EXPECTATIONS

Models should bring a robe or quick cover-up to change in between rooms. Models cannot wear the designer’s clothes back and forth.
Don’t forget the lotion or body moisturizer.
NEVER directly exchange contact information with designers, boutique staff, or clients during the fitting/rehearsal or show. All inquiries and instructions should go through DC Fashion Week. You can exchange it after fashion week.
Be cooperative and pay attention.
Keep the designers’ and stylists’ merchandise in perfect condition.
Never sit, eat, smoke, or drink in a designer’s outfit. This will get you ejected from the show, especially if the director sees it.
Do not eat or smoke once your makeup has been done. Drinking is permitted ONLY with a straw.
Keep backstage conversation to a minimum, using a low whisper.
Dress and undress quickly.
Line up immediately as required during the show and always be accessible.
Listen carefully to the Model Coordinator and Commentator for instructions.
Never bring children, friends, or family backstage, in prep areas, or to the dressing room at any time.
Feel free to bring reading materials, iPods, or anything to keep you occupied. It’s going to be a long day. You are responsible for your belongings.
Never walk or linger in the hallways, especially during intermission. There should be no models in the hallways 30 minutes before the scheduled door opening time.
Support the events by inviting friends and family to the show and by posting the events online. (Email invitations, Facebook, Twitter, personal websites, etc.)
