Models at New York Fashion Week are facing an even more competitive environment as many designers continue to down-size and opt for cheaper presentations over runway shows, said Marques Nolan, an agent for Code Model Management.
Model Emily Fox, backstage before the Academy of Arts runway show, said designers are holding less castings making it even more competitive than usual to get modeling work. It has also become more common for models to be paid in clothes rather than money, she said.
Another model, Alice Gibb, said she was told last minute she wouldn’t be needed for a show she had been booked for.
