What are the requirements for becoming a male model?

New York City is home to many top male modeling agencies that are scouting for models with a variety of looks. The easiest way to tell if you have the “look” for what agencies are looking for is to view store brands to see the models they use in their current advertisements.

Top retail brands including GAP. Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister scout models with all-American looks. Most recently, the industry trend has been to scout male models with a mixed-ethnic background. That started in 2017 and until now, is popular in terms of getting signed.
