Breaking into the Dubai Modeling Scene: Tips for Success

Dubai Fashion Week 2024 has just wrapped up, and we couldn't be more proud of the exceptional performance by Noorall Models Dubai talent. This year's event, held at the iconic Dubai Design District, showcased the latest collections from both established designers and emerging talents, with our models playing a crucial role in bringing these creative visions to life.

A Record-Breaking Presence

Noorall Models Dubai had its strongest presence ever at this year's fashion week, with 28 of our models walking in various shows throughout the week-long event. Our talents represented a diverse range of designers, from luxury powerhouses to innovative local brands making their mark on the global fashion scene.

Some highlights include:

  • Sophia, our cover model, opening and closing the prestigious Abdul Rashid luxury show
  • Amina walking for five different designers, a record for a single model at Dubai Fashion Week
  • Alexander and Omar featured in the groundbreaking menswear showcase by international designer Karim Hassan

Behind the Scenes

Fashion week is always an intense period for models, with back-to-back castings, fittings, and shows. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure that all our models were prepared, on time, and looking their best for each event.

The typical day during fashion week started at 5:00 AM with early call times for hair and makeup, followed by rehearsals and then shows throughout the day and evening. Some of our models participated in up to three different shows in a single day, requiring quick changes and transportation between venues.

Despite the hectic schedule, our models maintained their professionalism and energy, impressing designers and fashion insiders with their runway presence and adaptability.

"Walking for Dubai Fashion Week has been a dream come true. The energy, the clothes, the creative teams—everything came together perfectly. I'm so grateful to Noorall Models Dubai for this opportunity and their support throughout the week."

Making an Impact

Beyond the runway, our models also participated in various events and activities surrounding fashion week. Several of our talents were interviewed by fashion media outlets, featured in street style photography, and invited to exclusive after-parties and networking events.

These opportunities not only increased their visibility but also helped them forge valuable connections with industry professionals from around the world. For many of our newer models, this fashion week experience served as a significant stepping stone in their careers.

Designer Feedback

The feedback from designers who worked with our models has been overwhelmingly positive. Many praised the professionalism, versatility, and unique qualities that our talents brought to their runway presentations.

"The models from Noorall Models Dubai brought exactly the energy and presence I needed for my collection. They understood my vision immediately and translated it perfectly on the runway. I'll definitely be working with them again."
