Worth knowing
The agency's application page says it is not a children's agency, so applicants must be at least 14. Open castings are held every Friday from 14.00 to 16.00, natural photos without make-up are requested, and a reply within 14 days comes only if the agency is interested. No fees are mentioned.
Agency website, 2026-10-18Fashion Forum wrote on 20 May 2025 that Unique Models joined the European alliance FAIRe with more than 50 agencies to draw up ethical rules for the use of AI in fashion. CEO Jacqueline Svane also represents the eight largest Danish agencies on the steering committee of the Danish Fashion Ethical Charter.
Fashion Forum, 2025-05-20The agency's press release via Ritzau on 4 April 2018 about scouting in Salling department stores said girls must be 15-21 and at least 169 cm and boys 15-25.

Ritzau, 2018-04-04The agency's own site says Unique Models opened its doors in 1989. The Lex encyclopedia adds that it was founded by a group of shareholders and Alexandra Foss Springborg, and that the owners today are Salling, Aller, Egmont, Jacqueline Friis-Mikkelsen (Svane) and Jesper Thomsen. The agency discovered Freja Beha Erichsen, Eddie Klint, Josephine Skriver and Oliver Bjerrehuus.

Unique Models in its own words

How to apply to Unique 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.
