Casting Call: How YOU Can Model for College Fashion Week

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WPUNJ chapter.

Hey, collegiettes! Have you ever dreamed of being a model? Is it your life’s goal to walk a runway? Or, maybe you just like getting dressed up?

If you’ve been feverishly nodding your head for any (or all) of these questions, then College Fashion Week is for you!

Her Campus is casting models for College Fashion Week in Boston (10/4), New York City (10/11), Chicago (10/18), and San Francisco (10/25)! College Fashion Week is obviously about cute clothes and high-fashion, but it’s also all about featuring real student models of all body types. Her Campus is collecting model applicant photos to ensure that the runway reflects diversity among collegiettes everywhere, and they want you (yes, you) to submit these photos via Instagram!

Applying to be a College Fashion Week model is super-easy. All you’ve got to do is post one “selfie” headshot to your public Instagram. (Seriously, this selfie can be the only picture you’ve got on your entire account; just make sure you’ve got this one.) Tag @hercampuscfw and @europeanwax and use #CastMeCFW and the hashtag of the city you want to model in. You can see Her Campus Co-Founder Windsor’s selfie below!

Once you’ve gone Insta-glam, head to CollegeFashionWeek.com to fill out the model application form – don’t forget to include the link to your selfie!

Models should be available from 12pm-9pm on the day of the show they want to model in, and they should be present for the entire day before for a rehearsal and a pre-show party!

As a CFW Model, you’ll get tons of perks. Of course, you’ll get to model 2 different boohoo.com looks at College Fashion Week in the city of your choice. You’ll also receive a complimentary brow wax, courtesy of CFW sponsor European Wax Center. Plus, you’ll be pampered by TRESemmé and bareMinerals. If that’s not enough, you’ll receive a VIP goody bag (filled, we’re sure, with loads of awesome treats), and you’ll get professional photos to add to your modeling portfolio – or you’ll get some really, really great profile pics. Either way.

Even if you’re not really the modeling type, there’s nothing stopping you from attending CFW and checking out the styles rocked by your fellow collegiettes. Additionally, European Wax Center is hosting a brow bar at CFW NYC, open to all attendees, which means there are even perks for just showing up. There’s literally no reason not to go!

So get excited, collegiettes – College Fashion Week is coming to NYC on 10/11 at Santos Party House (96 Lafayette St, NY 10013) from 6pm-9pm! See you there.
