We had another great turn out for Omaha Fashion Week’s Model Search. By the 2:00 start time, we had over 170 models ready to show OFW and Develop Canada Pharmacy made of! Here’s a recap if you missed it:
First, check out this line. As we mentioned previously the line was growing long way before we began. Models got their numbers and waited until we were ready for them.
Models then got their picture taken by our amazing photographer, Herb Thompson.
After they got their beauty shot, models trekked on over to measurements. We had some great helpers with this important task!
Then models waited for their turn to strut their stuff on the runway in front of industry professionals.
Phew! That was a lot. The model search ended up being extremely successful! Models will be informed if they have made it into the OFW Model pool on, June 26th before midnight. Again, thank you to all who made this event possible! We can’t wait to have some fresh new faces on our runway.

See you there!
I have been designing and working with models for a long time now. I have seen some really great models and many that could definitely use some coaching. Anyone can stand around and be ridiculously good looking, but it takes a lot of practice to walk a runway, look confident, know cues, and make the garments you are wearing truly look amazing. Working with Develop Model Management has created a more polished look on the OFW runways and set a new standard for the models being cast. They know the business inside and out and are continuing to work with some outstanding models, sending them all over the world.
The casting prep workshop provides invaluable information, hints, and tips. Since it is free to attend(!), there is really no reason to not go! Designers notice the models who have gone to the workshops. Those models try a little harder, look more poised, and make us want to cast them. If you want to walk the runways, take the time to learn the basics. It can make all the difference to models and designers. See you there!
