In short
- The catalogue has one agency in Wolfisheim, S Models.
- It presents itself as an agency working in Strasbourg, Paris, Nancy and Metz; we know it from its Instagram account and an agency directory.
- North-eastern France has one more agency in the catalogue, Notoys in Saint-Avold.
Modeling work in Wolfisheim
Wolfisheim is a suburb of Strasbourg in Alsace. The jurgita.com catalogue lists one agency here: S Models. On Instagram it presents itself as a modeling agency based in Wolfisheim and working in Strasbourg, Paris, Nancy and Metz, and the French agency directory mannequinat.fr says it was created in 2015. The agency's website did not respond when we checked, so the catalogue assigns it no boards or address.
Work in the region is mostly commercial: advertising, catalogues, e-commerce and events. Before you apply, ask for the licence number and which company would sign the contract.
The nearest markets
- Saint-Avold – Notoys, whose website states a licence number and its approval for working with children.
- Paris – the main market, with the fashion weeks and 94 catalogue agencies.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial work in the region, start with the local agency; 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. First check on the agency's profile whether it charges applicants and how much. In France advice about becoming a model is free by law, and an agency can recover what it spends on your career only through deductions from your pay.
- Before you sign, ask the agency for its licence number: the licence is compulsory for every model agency in France. The profile shows whether a licence number and SYNAM or FFAM membership are known.
- Watch out for pressure to decide or pay on the spot and for contracts that renew automatically; more warning signs are in modeling scams. Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the France agencies page.
