Fashion Casting | Event Talent for Fashion and Lifestyle
Fashion and lifestyle event bookings

Two divisions. One standard.

One division is business — a brand, a designer, a showroom. The other is private — a dinner, a party, a week away. Different divisions, one standard: the rate, the hours and the duties are written down before anyone says yes, and the talent is paid the day they work.

Coverage of our talent and the houses we cast for.

The agency

Two divisions, told as a pair

Fashion is the business division: brands, designers, showrooms, retailers. Lifestyle is the private division: hosts, concierge firms, hotels and clubs. Two very different evenings — and one set of terms underneath both, so a talent who works for either knows exactly what they have agreed to.

If you are booking

You tell us the division, the date and the budget. We come back with faces, rates and a written brief — no shortlist fees, no drip of invoices. One agency, one contact, both divisions.

Book talent
If you are being booked

You see the rate, the hours and exactly what the day asks of you before you accept — and you can say no with no penalty. Travel is booked and paid for by us. You are paid the day you work.

Fashion

The business division. A collection shown to buyers, a launch evening, a showroom week — the talent is there to make the product read and the room work. No runway, no campaign shoots. Three kinds of client, two kinds of booking each.

Private brand presentations

Invite-only presentations for VIP clients, buyers, investors and media.

Brand launch events

02 · Niche fashion designers

Independent designers, couture ateliers and bespoke tailors.

Private designer presentations

One-to-one or small-group previews for VIP clients and collectors.

Fittings and made-to-measure

Talent present garments during bespoke consultations and fitting sessions.

03 · Niche showrooms

Luxury showrooms, buying offices and wholesale agencies.

Buyer appointments

Division 02

Lifestyle

The private division. A dinner, a club night, a villa week — the talent arrives as a guest of the host: present, dressed to the brief, good company. Nothing beyond the brief is ever asked, and the terms are the same ones the Fashion board runs on.

Private clients

Founders, chief executives, investors, family offices, private collectors, international travellers, celebrities, athletes and public figures.

Concierge and luxury services

Lifestyle and private concierge firms, personal and executive assistants, estate and household managers, VIP management companies.

Hospitality

Private events

Private dinners, cocktail receptions, white parties, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, wedding hospitality, yacht and villa parties, networking dinners.

Corporate lifestyle

Executive dinners, client entertainment, investor events, corporate hospitality, product launches, award ceremonies, charity galas, gallery openings and wine tastings.

How booking works, step by step

Six steps. The same six whether you are booking or being booked, and the same six in both divisions. Everything runs over messenger, so every term has a written record you can scroll back to.

Preferred channels
WhatsApp · Telegram · Signal
1
Confirmation

Booking details, confirmed in writing

Over WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal you send the event details, date, time, location, budget and the duties involved. We confirm availability and send back a booking summary.

We present selected profiles with photographs, statistics and rates. You choose. We align the final details and what is expected on the day.

Arrival

Talent arrives on schedule

Talent reaches the venue or city as scheduled. We coordinate the arrival and see that check-in runs without friction.

Talent works to the brief

Written terms

Rates

What talent is paid, per event day

Standard rates run from $1,000 to $10,000 per event day, and the two divisions sit in different bands. Talent at the top of the market is quoted above the range. Every quotation is built from three factors and no others.

Factor 01
Client budget

The budget the client confirms for the engagement.

Factor 02
Talent profile

Experience, credits, titles and audience reach.

Factor 03
City and continent

The market the event runs in, and the cost of working there.

Commission

What we take, and what reduces it

Commission comes out of the booking, not out of a joining fee. One split for everyone, fixed at signature and printed on every brief.

The commission
70 / 30

30% commission on the gross booking to Fashion Casting. 70% net to the talent. One basis for everyone, and you stay free to work with other agencies.

What it excludes

Travel, accommodation and per diem are quoted separately and advanced by us. Nothing is deducted from the fee.

How you are shown
Once approved

A booker reads your portfolio by hand. Once approved it goes on the board clients browse before they enquire.

Before that

Nothing of yours is published. We present you privately, to one client at a time, over messenger.

Referral waiver
5 – 10%

Introduce talent or a client and we waive 5% of your commission. Keep introducing and the waiver rises to 10%.

Fee structures

Talent choose how they are paid, and we pay on the day of the event.

Per event day Per campaign Buyout Usage extension Fitting fee Travel and per diem
What it costs to join

Nothing.

No joining fee, no portfolio fee, no monthly fee. We are paid only when you are — commission comes out of the booking and is printed on the brief.

Written into every brief
Rate

Fixed at booking. It cannot be revised down after the event.

Duties

What the talent is there to do, named before they accept.

Schedule

Call time, duration and finish. Overtime is agreed on the day.

Usage

Where images may run, and for how long. Anything beyond it is a new fee.

Payment

Paid on the day of the event, by the method the talent chose.

Cancellation

50% of the rate inside 48 hours of call time. Always.

“Nobody should have to chase an invoice for work they already did.”

Why Fashion Casting exists
What we commit to

Questions

The parts people usually have to ask twice

Joining costs nothing — no joining fee, no portfolio fee, no monthly fee. Commission comes out of the booking: 30% gross to us, 70% net to you. One basis for everyone. Introduce talent or a client and we waive 5% to 10% of your commission, so you can reach 80%.

On the day of the event. The talent chooses the payment method and it is written on the brief before they accept. There is no waiting period and no clearing window.

We pay on the day whether or not the client has settled. That is the point. Chasing the client is our job, not the talent's.

The brief names the territory and the term — where the images run and for how long. Any use outside that is a new fee, quoted and agreed before it runs.

50% of the agreed rate if the cancellation lands inside 48 hours of call time. It is written into every brief, so it is not a negotiation after the fact.

No. Agency-represented and independent talent work here on identical terms. If you are represented, your agent is added to the brief.
