Modeling work in Boulogne-Billancourt
Boulogne-Billancourt is the western neighbour of Paris, so both catalogue agencies based here work in the capital's market.
Emily Models calls itself an agency for models and advertising actors. It offers people of all types and ages from 16, as well as parts models for lingerie, lips, hands, legs and feet. The work it lists includes commercials, photo shoots, runway shows, showrooms, fittings and editorials. It belongs to the company Hexagone Talents, which, according to the website, holds model agency licence No. 75.16.017, and its models' pay is covered by a financial guarantee. Emily Models is an FFAM member, and its office is on Rue d'Aguesseau.
MayJune was created in 2011 and presents itself as a models and talent agency for women and men. It writes that it has recently started working internationally too, with New York and London. The work it mentions includes runway shows, advertising campaigns and fittings, and its website states a financial guarantee and state licence No. 75.17.005. Besides women and men, it has curve, parts, faces, influencer, senior, sport and talent lists. Its office is on Rue de l'Est.
Catalogue lists by board are on these pages: women, men, curve, senior, sport, talent.
Paris is a few metro stops away
Boulogne-Billancourt has stations on Paris metro lines 9 and 10, so you can reach castings in the capital without changing to a train. The fashion weeks, most clients and 78 catalogue agencies are in Paris; that page also shows where agencies are by arrondissement.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- Choose an agency by the board you fit: both local agencies suit advertising and commercial work, and for runway and magazine work look at the Paris agencies as well.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay for registration or a shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Before you sign, ask the agency for its licence number: the licence is compulsory for every model agency in France.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the France agencies page.
