Karin in its own words
KARIN MODELS, founded in Paris in 1978, is an internationally renowned agency representing both celebrities and models across every area of the industry, including editorial, advertising, commercial campaigns, fashion shows, and more.
How to apply to Karin
- Apply through the agency's website (see the link above): most agencies have a "become a model" page with a form or an e-mail address. 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.
Looking for an agency that can place you abroad?
Supermodels is a mother agency in Vilnius, Lithuania, working since 2001. It develops new faces and places models with agencies in Paris, Milan, London and Asia. Applying is free and commits you to nothing.
Jurgita is published by Supermodels, so this is our own agency. Other agencies' profiles are based on public sources and their own information.
