September is also a time of new beginnings.

Youngsters will be starting school again and the count-down to Christmas begins in the many businesses and industries for which the festive season is so important.

For those who work in modelling, it is also an exciting time.

At Modelling Direct, we experience a flurry of requests from clients who have returned from their holidays and quieter times at work ready to swing into action.

Furthermore, this is the time their Christmas campaigns really move into the fast lane as they step their activities up a gear or two and pull their plans together.

Potential new clients – anyone who thinks they might require a model or several models for a shoot, promotion or event – is therefore very welcome to contact us.

We have a great selection of models of all types and ages and a constant stream of new applications to ensure we can step up to help all our clients.

September is therefore not only a busy time for reputable agencies, such as ourselves, but also for our models.

Many of those who have worked for us for some time – male, female and child models – find this is traditionally a time when they are put forward for bookings.

And for others, who perhaps have no experience at all and are considering modelling for the first time, it may also be when they are offered their very first assignments.

Those who understand how the modelling industry works know there is never any guarantee of work but to be in the running you have to put yourself forward.

As highly experienced experts at finding the right models for the right jobs, our role is then to go through the portfolios of those on our books and to suggest anyone who might be suitable.

But, in order to do that, we have to know about you!

So, whether you are an experienced model or not, if you would like to see if there might be work out there for you this autumn season, tell us about yourself.

1.     Carefully read our website to find out more about modelling.

2.     Then peruse our review pages on our website to see whether you think modelling might be for you.

3.     If you think it might be, fill in an application form and send us some photographs.

4.     Then ensure you continue to update your e-portfolio and respond quickly if we get in touch.

You never know, this September might be the start of something new and exciting for you – it might be just the change of direction you are looking for.

Keeping it simple with black and whites

Teaming a white button-down shirt with a pair of black pants has been a classic combo. It’s been a long term go-to especially if you’ve run out of ideas or want to keep your look simple and sleek. This one we’ve picked is smart for the office whilst also being cool for meetups. 

We’ve seen this trend throughout the decades but it remains an ever-popular choice – think Kim Kardashian for inspo… 

A colour blocking summer

This year is all about bright colours which have paved the way for a new trend; colour blocking. Mixing up two, three or even four totally different colours to make a bold statement is what this trend is all about. T-shirts, jackets, dresses, pants, joggers and jeans are some examples of apparel that are implementing this trend.

This abstract and playful pattern has been seen on Kendall Jenner, Cate Blanchett and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. If you haven’t grabbed any colour blocking statement pieces, dive through your closet and pair up some bright colours even if they’re accessories to jazz up your look so you’re ready to meet up and socialise in style.

Co-ord sets for outdoor wear

Matching sets are moving beyond our loungewear where we were either working from home or 

just relaxing during the lockdown. This year Models Direct are seeing the co-ord sets coming in all types of styles and combos making this fashion look very versatile. So long as you don’t lose one of the pieces behind the back of your wardrobe, a co-ord set can create three separate looks making this sound even more amazing! We have seen style ideas such as crop tops with pencil skirts, skirt-suits, crop tops teamed with wide-leg pants and button-up tops paired with waist shorts. 

Oversized pants comeback

Remember the Beverly Hills 90210 days with those baggy pants the stars of the show would wear? Yup, they’re back! It seems like the loose-fitting clothes we were enjoying in 2020 are filtering through this year. You can add a fitted top or crop top to oversized pants to make the trend look more refined and appealing (and effortlessly on trend – who wouldn’t want that?) Celebs such as Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham have been rocking this summer style for us, giving us fashion inspo and motivation to be on the ball and ahead of the fashion crowd ready for work at the office or meeting our friends and family.

Bonus extra: oversized sleeves and shoulders 

Keeping up with the oversized theme, Models Direct have seen celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez sporting puffed-up sleeves and shoulders, bringing back the funky, fun and iconic 80s look.

Maximising maxi dresses

Hands up everyone who owns a maxi dress? Perfect for all occasions, maxi dresses are a must-have for casual and formal wear. Pairing it up with a short jean jacket, a pair of pants underneath and sneakers or with some heels and glam accessories is what makes having a maxi dress for this summer weather a lovely addition to your wardrobe.

Style it up this summer with some great summer looks you can create yourself. These trends are perfect for those of us transferring from working at home to back into the office. 

And there you have it! All the summer looks you can create yourself this year. We hope you enjoyed reading this – let us know your thoughts or if you have any other ideas.
