How this list is made
The list includes every agency that represents models. We check the facts on each agency's own website, in public company registers, on association member lists and in the press, and publish what we find: fees charged to applicants, schools, company status, press reports, history and memberships. We do not vouch for or recommend agencies. No agency pays to be listed and there are no rankings. Last checked: 2026-10-10.
01How many modeling agencies are there in Riga?
This catalogue lists 16 agencies in Riga, including Terri Model Agency, Baltic Casting Agency, Moon Models and Bro Models. It includes every agency that represents models; we do not vouch for them, and each profile shows the facts we found, good and bad.
02How many modeling agencies are there in Riga?
Our catalogue has 16, out of 17 for all of Latvia. Nine are fashion and mother agencies, two work with children, two with older models, two are casting agencies with a database and one belongs to a fashion house. Nine agencies have a women's board, four a men's board, four a new faces board, and one each a kids and a senior board.
03Where in Riga are the modeling agencies?
The map shows 9 of the 16 agencies, those whose address we have. Two are in the Old Town and by the boulevard ring (Kaļķu iela and Raiņa bulvāris), four on central streets (Krišjāņa Barona, Dzirnavu, Avotu and Krišjāņa Valdemāra) and three further from the centre (Brīvības gatve and Uriekstes iela). We have no address for the other seven.
04How much do model schools in Riga cost?
Prices we found on the agencies' websites in October 2026: the Baltic Kids Models (Babochka) school for children is €80 to €110 a month, DEAM Model Management €120, the Freyja Models online course €130 and the Modnye Models school for women aged 30 and over €140 a month. 8 Studios charges €34.50 for a place in its model catalogue. A school is not representation, so ask what you get before you pay.
05When is Riga Fashion Week?
The fashion week runs twice a year, in spring and autumn. The 43rd edition, in autumn 2026, takes place on 20–24 October, with the main runway shows at Zunda Towers on 21 October and at Hanzas Perons on 22–23 October. It is organised by the Baltic Fashion Federation and the exact schedule is published on rfw.lv.
06What is the quickest way from Vilnius to a casting in Riga?
The LTG Link train from Vilnius to Riga runs daily with no changes: it leaves early in the morning, arrives around midday after about 4 hours, and returns in the afternoon. Riga station is in the city centre, close to agencies and studios. Buy tickets in advance, as this train often sells out.
07Is it worth a Lithuanian model having an agency in Riga?
If you already have a mother agency in Lithuania, ask it about Riga first: it may have a partner agency in Latvia and handle bookings there. Riga is useful for extra jobs and fashion week shows, but it is a small market similar in size to Vilnius, so living off it alone is hard.
08Do I need permits to work in Latvia?
Licensing, law, tax and work permit questions are covered on the Latvia page rather than here, including what applies to EU and non-EU citizens and to minors.
