Calling all aspiring fashion models

THE iconic Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) will host an open model casting on Friday, 1 March and Saturday, 2 March.

Now in its 8th year, this fashion extravaganza, hosted by eThekwini Municipality, has become a highlight on the annual fashion calendar.

The Municipality will host the open model scouting days for men and women who have not yet signed up to a model agency to model at the Durban Fashion Fair later this year. No experience is required to be part of this audition. All selected individuals will be trained professionally to walk on a runway.

All aspirant/new face models must be in good physical shape and must be between the ages of 16 to 35 years and have a valid ID document and proof of residence to take with them to the casting.
