why do the modleing agencies in belgium have to be so snoby? it isn't like i don't have what they're looking for. i'm 5'7, a size 34 and photogenic enough .... i guess the real reason would be cos i'm black. I don't know wat i can do to show them i'm a beta model if they refuse to see past the tone of my skin.
:cantlook:

I don't think that the main reason is because you are black. Maybe it can be, but in my opinion its more because of your height (170) and your age (20).
The height matters for most European fashion agencies, only glamour agencies doesn't care about the height a lot. Of course there are good models at this height also, but its very very very tough to present yourself. you need to have very strong portfolio and experience in order to get to the agencies at this height.
the Age matters only if you are a new model, models at 20 are considered old models already and they need to have a strong book to follow their carrier. For starting model its very very hard to do that, but its possible, if somebody wants that a lot.

I would agree with Jurgita, A 20 year old female model is considered older due to a womens look maturing faster then males. They seem to like younger fresh faces. I dont think its because your black, also a strong portfolio is key for older models;)

Hy!

My name is Marina and I am 21 years old.I have tree my mother agency in world, and i am only 170cm..(tj.168-but my agency always write me more on my sed-cards).
But with in hight-mode like revia..is hard because most of girls are taller than 176cm-178cm..
Best regards

actually, jurgita u are wrong, it is because i'm black, i am a minority in belgium and most agencies/clients aren't looking for that right now. they aren't ready for that. but it's ok, paris and england are a safe bet, so i'm thinkin of packin up and goin there. it ain't on be easy... but it's a start.

Acculy you r right!
In Belgium is wery snobic agencies and they looking at the skin colour!
But I dont think its a reason to change country!

Hang in there. Based on your profile you have worked with some in brussels. Be patient. Your break will come. Just keep trying.

With an attitude like that - I don't know how you made it this far - Jurgita has been modeling for quite a while, so she knows her sh*t - If you think its your skin colour - actually your wrong-;)

actually cory, ur the one with an attitude problem, and jurgita isn't here in belgium and she isn't black so to tell you the truth she doesn't know anything about the experiences i have been true being black and tryna make it in the modelling world!i'm not sayin doesn't know anything, but she isn't in ma shoes and to tell you the truth neither are you, so please don't come here accsuing meg if you don't know half of what's going on!! and i am changing coutires, because i am taking the modeling bizz very seriously, and don't worry peeps i hv friends in london and paris!! so lol....no worries!! i'll be alright!

I agree, the modeling agencies in Belgium do seem to be very picky, but I guess that attests to the fact that the European Industry has always been more difficult to get into. They've been around longer and there are probably a lot more people that they have to choose from, and even more that they have to turn away.

Personally I'd look at it as a challenge and a goal, and when an agency does finally agree to represent you, throw a HUGE party :D.

lol!! i'll def do that!!
