Modelfolios is poised to take the fashion industry by storm this January. This new professional networking website and online community provides models, photographers, stylists and other fashion industry professionals the tools and resources to connect and cultivate invaluable career opportunities.
Modelfolios capitalizes on the momentum and growing number of professional networking sites. The website provides innovative tools for aspiring and professional models to market themselves on a global scale, giving them an opportunity to gain international exposure among top agencies and industry professionals looking for the next generation of supermodels.
While Modelfolios caters to models who are seeking creative ways to get discovered, the website also targets top international modeling agencies that are looking for alternative ways to find fresh faces.
“Our goal is to become the standard for online talent scouting and become one of the primary resources for modeling agencies and industry professionals worldwide for discovering new modeling talent,” says Ibby Kenku, CEO and founder of Ibby Group, the company that owns Modelfolios.
Models and fashion creatives who use Modelfolios to host their online portfolios can upload up to 50 images. The portfolio is a great opportunity for models to showcase their versatility and talent, and it’s a dynamic way for agencies to gauge the model’s potential.
In addition to having stylish online portfolios on the site, models and fashion creatives can network with other members via the community forums. They can also stay on top of the latest in fashion and modeling industry news, and get useful professional tips via the website’s blog. The website will give models direct access to modeling agencies, photographers, stylists, make-up artists, hair stylists and designers who are shaping fashion trends and modeling industry standards in all regions of the globe.
While the founder of Modelfolios is excited about the launch of the site, he’s even more excited about its future. “It’s important to us that Modelfolios evolves based on the needs of its users,” says Kenku. “The site was created for them so we’re giving our users the power to shape its evolution.”
