Modeling work in Wasquehal
Wasquehal lies between Lille and Roubaix, in the Lille metropolitan area. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: Les Filles Models Agency, based on Avenue de la Marne. The agency writes that it was founded in Roubaix in 2006 and that it specialises in mass retail: it supports retail chains and manufacturers with their photo and video campaigns and advertising material. It says it selects models for their reliability and their ease in front of the camera.
On its website the women's board is split into mainboard, classic, development and curve lists, and the men's board into mainboard, classic and development. Talent, kids and new faces are shown separately. The legal page names a limited company that is entered in the company register as Models Attitude. Catalogue lists by board are on these pages: women, men, kids, curve, talent, new faces.
The nearest markets and how to get there
- Roubaix – The Casting, a models and actors agency working with women, men and children.
- Lille – Perfect Model, Little Model and Minded Model. Wasquehal has two stations on Lille metro line 2, and the same line runs on to Roubaix.
- Paris – the main market, with the fashion weeks and most catalogue agencies. The fastest train from Lille to Paris takes 58 minutes.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and catalogue work in the region, the local agency or the ones in Lille and Roubaix fit; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Paris and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay for registration or a shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Before you sign, ask the agency for its licence number: the licence is compulsory for every model agency in France.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the France agencies page.
