Casting runway models

Runway is its own discipline: height, proportion, pace and the ability to hold a garment's line under show lighting. South Africa's show calendar runs through fashion weeks, designer collections, mall launches and trade presentations, and designers usually cast direct rather than through a show producer. Every runway model below lists height, measurements and show experience on their profile.

Common questions

What height do runway models need in South Africa?

Designer shows commonly look for around 175 cm and up for women and 183 cm and up for men, but retail and trade shows cast far more broadly. Height is listed on every profile so you can filter at a glance.

How far ahead should I cast a show?

Two to four weeks is comfortable for a local show; fashion week dates book out sooner. Send fitting dates as well as show dates in your first message.

Do runway models charge per show or per day?

Both are common — a show fee plus a separate fitting fee, or a day rate covering both. Each profile lists a guide rate; agree the structure with the model before confirming.
