The Movement Models
Works with: women, men, new faces
The Movement Models is a modeling agency based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2014.
Worth knowing
The agency's own site says it guided the contestants of Holland's Next Top Model and represents the winners of the last three seasons. It also says the office at Herengracht 162 in Amsterdam is open by appointment only.
Agency website, 2026-10-12Vogue Nederland wrote on 19 December 2024 that it ran its Vogue's Model Search together with The Movement Models and Spark Productions. Nine people were chosen from more than a thousand entries, and the jury included the agency's co-owner Robbie Baauw and the model Jill Kortleve.
Vogue Nederland, 2024-12-19Het Parool reported on 16 August 2020 that co-owner Robbie Baauw started the agency from home with the aim of making the fashion industry more inclusive and representing models whom other agencies turned down over a few centimetres. According to the paper four of the agency's models made the cover of an international September issue that year.
Het Parool, 2020-08-16The company directory Creditsafe lists The Movement Models B.V. (KVK 59859075) as founded in 2014, and the agency's own site says it has been active for over a decade. Het Parool wrote on 16 August 2020 that the agency had started only three and a half years earlier, so the sources differ on the exact start.

The Movement Models in its own words
The Movement Models represents beauty that isn’t defined by the traditional standards. For over a decade, our Amsterdam-based modeling agency has highlighted exceptional models with equally remarkable personalities.
How to apply to The Movement Models
- Apply through the agency's own online form – the link is above. Prepare 4–6 unretouched digitals and your measurements.
- Check its website or Instagram for open-call days; if none are listed, apply online.
- If you are represented by a mother agency, let it make the introduction – that is how most placements abroad start.
- Models from abroad can apply; a work permit is arranged by the agency once a placement is agreed.
- Never pay to apply. A licensed agency earns a commission on your work, nothing upfront.
