Paris Fashion Week Model Castings – Where to find them ?
It’s not easy to find castings of interesting fashion or beauty projects, especially for models. When we want to start a modeling career, we tend to look for agencies to represent us and then we feel like we made it. But it’s totally wrong to think that way. Signing with model agencies doesn’t mean that jobs will start knocking on our door every day right away by doing nothing on our side. It’s important to act as if you were not signed and keep looking for opportunities. Let’s get right into the subject. Here are a few lists where you can find castings for Paris Fashion Week and even for other jobs.
1 – Sign into Facebook groups :
I think Facebook is underrated because is one of the oldest social media but you can be surprised how you can find opportunities and get contacts from there. There are so many Facebook groups where people post casting calls for models and it can be for runways or commercial projects. Here are a few French interesting Facebook groups:

Simple tip to find casting directors
You can find them pretty easily. For example, after a fashion show, you can go to the designers’ Instagram pages. Click on one of the photos of models walking. Then read the description, and you will see, most of the time, the whole team including the casting director or the people who scouted the models.
