Ask Joey: Photo Approvals Are Getting Stringent

Heads up folks! ModelWire Network’s photo requirements are getting more stringent. The agencies love the scouting feature and are requiring the MWN team to up their game on photo approvals. We understand that there are a lot of folks on here that just started out and we want them on here, so they can build their portfolios and find connections, but at the same time this platform is for professionals. Some people are going to get hurt feelings...

Tip of the Week: Digital Polaroids

Here at ModelWire Network, we ask that all photos be professionally shot, with the exception of Digital Polaroids. These are important photos for any models who currently do not have representation. Anyone can look amazing when their hair and makeup has been done and the photo has been touched up. Agencies require all models they are inquiring about to take Digital Polaroids, as they need to see how they look like in real life - with NO Makeup...

Preview- Rick Owens Spring 2012

I've always loved Rick Owens for his innovation and ability to play with silhouettes and the Spring 2012 collection preview is no exception. Reworked simplicity in amazing hues, combined with sickening wedges. The pillar skirts and jackets with voluminous sleeves add height, depth and richness. Owens gives us ensembles for thought and I'm eagerly awaiting the snapshots from the entire collection. Pics via Vogue....

We're big fans of this street fashion concept and can't...

Ted Gibson Talks Celebrity Hairstyles, The Oscars & The Brand That's Changing Our World

Everyone loves Ted Gibson.  He's good looking, can rock a fitted pink shirt and his vibe is inviting, welcoming and grounded. This is not your typical Hollywood hairdresser. I met Ted when I first began modeling. His star has continued to rise and now it's about to explode again as Ted makes the astral leap from successful businessman to household name. If you haven't already heard the name Ted Gibson, it's time to start paying attention....

Third-Eye Make-up

I was recently introduced to a wonderful make-up artist named Philippine. We did a test shoot together and got some interesting and colorful shots. The whole concept was about a lonely artist who lives in her cluttered studio. She was left at the alter, forcing her to constantly wallow in self-pity as she paints away her sorrows. It was an intense shoot but the images are quite painterly and emotional. Philippine is currently working on expanding...

New Faces- i-D Fall 2011

In i-D Fall 2011, New Faces gives us a brilliant and unadulterated look at the up and coming models of today. I love how their portrait of beauty encompasses such a wide spectrum of ethnicities and looks. Each woman has her own distinct story, goals and distinguishing features, making "unique" beauty the new standard. With each passing fashion year, the term "cookie cutter" gets thrown out the window a little more, heightening...

Work of Art-- Prada Spring 2012

Prada Spring 2012 is a work of art. It's so pretty, I almost didn't believe it was real. Most collections, I look over the pics once and decide yes or no...but PRADA oh PRADA. Such amazing separates in a color palette that is both feminine and aggressive. A car or hot rod added in here and there with the delicate, soft movement of a knee length skirt and those ridiculously genius heels. Miuccia has been giving us such remarkable collections...
