BASIC CPH is a modeling agency based in Copenhagen, Denmark, founded in 1991.
Worth knowing
The agency's FAQ says it sets no requirements for height, size or looks and takes in more models than many agencies because of its many different jobs, but does not allow models to be registered with several agencies at once. Everyone gets a reply within 2-3 weeks; no fees are mentioned.
Agency website, 2026-10-18In a news post dated 18 January 2023 the agency says BASIC CPH won a Børsen Gazelle 2022 as one of Denmark's fastest growing companies, having doubled its turnover over four years despite the corona crisis. Clients named include LEGO, Zara, Bilka, Velux and H&M.
Agency website, 2023-01-18The agency's own site says the story began in 1991 when Sissi Antonsen started 'Stjernebooking' and presented her first models to clients by bicycle around the city; in 2003 the agency was relaunched as BASIC CPH. Its archive today holds more than 6500 women, men, children, sports, plus-size, hand and body models and actors.

How to apply to BASIC CPH
- 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.
