Autumn 2026

Two weeks. One roster.

Four weeks apart, and the good models are booked across both. Show at either or at both: same roster, same team, one point of contact through the season.

01 · September 10–15, 2026

Fashion
Week

New York, September 2026

Seventy shows and presentations on the official schedule this September, and a city full of off-schedule ones. We cast the walk for the Spring/Summer 2027 collections, cover the fittings, and keep a standby list for the morning something changes.

  • Runway & presentation casting
  • Fittings, measurements and sizing confirmed up front
  • Backstage, front row and street content, captured alongside
  • Standby models on call for show day

02 · October 13–15, 2026

Bridal
Week

New York, October 2026

Three days of bridal market, showroom appointments and runway across the city. Bridal casting is its own craft: fit, proportion and poise carry the gown, and buyers are standing close enough to see all three.

  • Runway, salon and showroom models
  • Fit models for sample sizing and market week
  • Campaign and lookbook shot around the week
  • Creator content for the salon and the feed

What You Get

A shortlist you can book from.

Not a folder of headshots. A short, fitted selection, each face already checked against your 2026 dates, your samples and your budget.

✶

A shortlist in 48 hours

Brief in, selection out. Digitals, measurements, polaroids and rate against each name, so the decision takes one meeting instead of three.

◑

Fitted to the collection

Height, sizing, shoe and walk matched to your samples before you ever see the name. For bridal, sample fit is checked against the gown, not the average.

⬡

Booked and managed

Holds, options, fittings, call sheets, day rates and usage in writing. One point of accountability from the first option to the last look.

How It Works

Brief to show day, in a clear line.

  1. 01

    The brief

    The week, the dates, the looks and the budget. Ten minutes on a form is enough to start.

  2. 02

    The shortlist

    Within 48 hours: a fitted selection with digitals, measurements and rate against each name.

  3. 03

    Options & holds

    You choose; we place first options and hold the dates before the calendar tightens.

  4. 04

    Fittings

    Samples meet the models. Sizing confirmed, standbys named, call sheet issued.

  5. 05

    Show day

    Models on time and prepared, a producer on site, and content captured while it happens.

Booking deadlines

The roster fills in the order briefs arrive.

Fashion Week casting closes August 28, 2026; Bridal Week closes September 25, 2026. After those dates we cast against what is still open, and the best availability is usually gone.

Late brief, or a model down the morning of the show? Say so. We keep a standby list through both weeks.

Rates on request Send the brief
Questions

Everything, before you ask.

How fast is the shortlist?

Within 48 hours of the brief, and often the same day during show weeks. Each name comes with digitals, measurements, availability and rate, so you can book straight from it.

What exactly do you do?

We are a casting and production studio in New York. You send a brief; we shortlist models from our own vetted roster, place options and holds, run the fittings, issue the call sheet, and manage the models through show day. Content around the show is available on the same booking.

Can we still book this close to Fashion Week?

Yes, and the sooner the better. Availability tightens through the last week of August 2026. Send the brief anyway if you are late; we cast against what is open and keep standbys through the week.

Do you cover fittings?

Yes. Measurements and sizing are confirmed before you see the shortlist, and we schedule and staff the fittings ahead of the show.

What does it cost?

Day rates depend on the role, the hours and the usage. You get the rate against each name on the shortlist, before you commit to anyone.

Who owns the content shot around the show?

You do, on the terms we agree. Territory and term in writing, organic usage included; paid and in-perpetuity available.

We are not a New York brand. Does that work?

It does. Most of our season clients ship the collection in. We handle casting, fittings, crew and location on the ground here.

A short brief is enough: your dates in September or October 2026, the looks, the budget. The shortlist comes back within 48 hours, with rates against every name.
