About GLAM!
GLAM! Modeling is a modeling organization that focuses on model training for pre-teens, teens and young adults. The focus of our program is to provide aspiring models with relevant training and experience while they are under the guidance of GLAM! Fashion Network. We feel that the classroom experience alone does not fully meet the needs of aspiring models and modeling students unless it is supplemented with real fashion event experiences, as well. Therefore, GLAM! Fashion Network seeks to find opportunities for its students that offer real fashion industry experiences, from auditions to castings, competitions and conventions, photoshoots and actual fashion presentations with fashion industry professionals from around the country. In the process of identifying these opportunities for our students, we also have the opportunity to introduce trained talent to companies, organizations and individuals looking for models for their projects. We are not an agency, we do not receive commissions or "farm out" talent. We are simply the kind of organization that most models wish they had come across when they first started modeling!
