    3 agencies in the GetModel directory list Avant-Garde as a specialty. Avant-garde boards work the experimental end of fashion — conceptual editorials, art projects and the designers who cast against the conventional look.

    The largest avant-garde rosters are Viva Models, Lumpen Agency and Two Models Management. The grid below is ordered by roster size; each card opens the agency profile with its city offices, founding year, full specialty list and official submission contacts.

    Agencies usually run several divisions at once, so a board listed here may also cover other work — open the profile to see the full list. Browse the whole directory on the agencies hub, or read How to Choose a Modeling Agency before you sign anything.

    How to choose an agency

    No fees to sign

    A real agency is paid a commission on the work it books. Registration fees, compulsory paid courses and a mandatory in-house photographer are the standard warning signs.

    Look at the board, not the promise

    Open the agency's own site and see who it actually represents and which clients those models shoot for. A board full of recent work is worth more than any pitch.

    Match the market

    High fashion, commercial, curve and talent boards want different things. A mother agency in your city that places you abroad often beats a distant big name.

    Full guide: choosing an agency

    How to submit

    1. 1

      Shoot digitals

      Front, side and back plus a close-up. No makeup, no retouching, hair down, plain wall, natural light.

    2. 2

      Write down your stats

      Height, bust or chest, waist, hips, shoe size, hair and eye colour, your city and your age.

    3. 3

      Use the agency's own form

      Every profile here links the official site and social accounts. Submit through the agency's new-faces form or attend an open call — and never pay to apply.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a avant-garde modeling agency?
    Avant-garde boards work the experimental end of fashion — conceptual editorials, art projects and the designers who cast against the conventional look. An agency appears on this page because Avant-Garde is one of the specialties it states in our directory — 3 agencies do.
    How do I get signed by a avant-garde agency?
    Submit digitals — unretouched full-length, waist-up and face shots with no makeup — plus your measurements, through the agency's own form or open call; every agency here is listed with its website. These agencies actively want the features a classic board would call unusual; character, presence and a willingness to be photographed conceptually count more than measurements.
    Do avant-garde agencies charge models a fee?
    No legitimate agency charges for representation, whatever its specialty: it takes a commission on the jobs it books, usually around 20%. A demand to pay up front for a portfolio, a "registration" or training is the standard scam pattern, and it is just as common around avant-garde work as anywhere else.
