- Before you travel, ask the agency to confirm in writing what the apartment, test shoots and pocket money will cost – these are deducted from your fees.

How this list is made
Each agency is checked against public company registers, state licence requirements and professional-association member lists, then against its own website. Only agencies confirmed as operating are published. No agency pays to be listed and there are no rankings or reviews. Last verified: 2026-10-10.
01How many modeling agencies are there in Milan?
This catalogue lists 21 verified agencies in Milan, including Crew Model Management, Brave Models, Independent and I Love Models Management. Only agencies with a current licence or professional-association membership, or confirmed by at least two independent sources, are included.
02When are the Milan fashion weeks?
According to the CNMI calendar, the men's fashion week (Milano Moda Uomo) runs in January and June, and the women's (Milano Moda Donna) in late February to early March and in September. The next dates are men's on 15–19 January and 18–22 June 2027, and women's on 23 February to 1 March and 21–27 September 2027.
03Which parts of Milan are modeling agencies in?
Most are in three areas: the Tortona district near Porta Genova station, the De Angeli–Monte Rosa and Washington neighbourhoods in the west, and the historic centre (Municipio 1). A few are in the south, in the Tibaldi neighbourhood, and in the east near Corso XXII Marzo.
04How much does public transport cost in Milan?
Under ATM's January 2026 fares, a single ticket costs €2.20 and is valid for 90 minutes, a day ticket €7.60, a three-day ticket €15.50 and a carnet of 10 rides €19.50. A monthly city pass is €39, or €22 if you are under 27. The weekly pass (€18.50) covers the Mi1–Mi3 zone, which includes Milan and the neighbouring towns.
05When is the best time to come to Milan for the first time?
That is decided by the Milan agency representing you together with your mother agency. New faces usually arrive a few days before fashion week, when castings start, or between seasons, when there are more e-commerce and catalogue shoots. For men January and June matter most, for women February and September.
06Do Milan agencies take models from Lithuania?
Yes. According to AGCM, the models represented by Italian agencies are mostly foreign nationals. A Lithuanian model usually gets to Milan through a mother agency that sends digitals and measurements to Milan agencies. You can also apply directly, using the form or email address on the agency's own website.
