Now that you know there are real people behind Dominique Models Agency and that we do not only care about still pictures in glossy magazines, let us know who YOU are!

Don't Need Technology to Make a Career...

The living proof has a name : INGE GEURTS.

She has an incredible career and... no e-mail address! And it's only been a year since she has a mobile phone. And YES, she is always on time and super pro!

Not Perez, Paris!

Not in Paris...In Milan!


When Hanne Gaby meets Miss Hilton during Fashion Week...

The Great Gaby

Wherever there is a Fashion Week around the world, Hanne Gaby is all over the catwalks. This week in Milan: Burberry, Just Cavalli, Costume National, Jil Sander, Prada... We couldn't be more proud of her!

Ann Demeulemeester's Invitation...

... to her next Spring-Summer 2009 collection presentation looks like a tiny mini miniature book! We like a lot!

It is taking place in Paris on the 30th of September...And the lucky one attending the show is : Lisa from Touch. You go girl... and you bring some nice backstage pics back pleaaaaaazzzzzz!

Casting??

Casting is often a big wonder to newbys or non-pro... But it's simply a meeting where the modeling agency sends all the models who suit the client briefing, in order to meet all the people involved in the models selection (photographer, designer, show director etc.).
Here is a small video illustration about how it really does take place:

Chloe On the Ritz

Chloe Gosselin was booked for Refrigiwear's last catalog shoot (FW 08-09). We got this really cool backstage video from them, too good to keep it behind a booking table...

We love Olivia Hainaut!

Olivia is one of our favorite addresses in Brussels. She is stylist, as a matter of fact, a real ARTIST, and designs exquisite and very exclusive accessories. Scarves, bracelets and necklaces, each piece is handmade and a real piece of art.
Olivia definitely gives nobility back to art crafted luxury goods. She just opened her own atelier-boutique. Amélie and Stéphanie take you there in this video:

Charlotte goes to Greece

It is always good to see a new face flying away to Athens; especially when the requesting agency is 'Nothing But People'. You then know there is a great editorial potential! Let's wish all the best to Charlotte who is leaving tomorrow!


'Nothing But People' was convinced about representing her after seeing this short interview:

Who says personality does not matter?? Well, who...?? uh...?

Dressing Right at Dirty Dancing

It was last Saturday; It all happened at Dirty Dancing (Mirano): the very first show of Dressing Right, the new ethic label created by Tony Delcampe (La Cambre) and Thierry Rondenet (Own).

Organized by the magazine "LeVif/L'express", it presented the Spring-Summer 09 collection on an exclusive turning catwalk 100% Dominique Models. See a quick backstage clip (filmed by Ercan) and great pictures of Andy De Decker in this video:

Dominique Models is such a big family!

HERMES

Hermes edited a beautiful catalog : "PORTRAITS and OBJECTS" (AW08-09).

It is shot by photographer Paul Wetherell and among the beautiful pictures, there is the portrait of our people Simon De Jong.

It is amazing how black&white enhance the artistic expression of humanity. Thanks a lot Mister Wetherell.

We can not wait for the pictures of Hermes' Worlwide watches campaign  with our model Corentin to be pubished. It was shot on September the 3rd. We keep you posted of course!

Mirano Vif Show Project

Give a camera to Ercan to make shots for a behind the scene and see what happens... The 'making of' is for some other time... The little crazy essai ( a Blair Witch Project Tribute?) is for the fun & for now. Ercan and Jennifer take you backstage. Click on Play!


It all happened backstage at the "Le Vif" show that took place at the Mirano on Saturday 6th of September.

A Colourful Victory

With the Gladys' styling and Vera for the make-up, we could call this theme: 'ethni-city'. It's a pure urban invitation to dare to mix! Enjoy and have fun!

5 O'Clock? It's Teaser Time!

So, coming up this week, we have an e-article about to be published tomorrow pm on the Belgian website SKYNET, in its new feminine column called 'Lili'.
It is all about Belgian Top Models so they could not make it without mentioning Elise Crombez, Hanne Gaby or Jill Bauwens. We will post a link as soon at it is online.

On Friday, you will be granted with an exclusive video making of a highly colored editorial for VICTOIRE magazine with our models Erin & Jesse with the photographer Arnaud de Harven.
That's an exciting end of a very active week for us. Booking mood is HAPPY!

Lisa's Secrets

With the whole team at the agency, brand new servers and requests pouring in, we feel holiday time is over.
Everyone at the booking table grabbed as much sun as possible. The one who wins the suntan contest this year is Lisa from "Touch", our Hair&Make-Up and Styling division.

While she was gone, I had to borrow something from her drawer. And what did I find among xillions pictures of her son Modan and just a little less 'Hello Kitty' gadgets???

INCREDIBLE BACKSTAGE SHOTS from all the shows she is attending! Here is one she did at "Alexander McQueen";

We can't hold such beauty away from this blog, can we? More posts and pictures about Touch are coming, for sure!!!

A Hit on YouTube!

The"little" French speaking comedy we shot for the "Louise High Heels" event* in July scored more than 18000 hits on YouTube!
Thanks to everyone who liked it. For the ones who haven't seen it, click on the picture below:

* Louise High Heels was a 100 meters sprint on stilettos that took place on the 6th of July in Brussels. With a 10.000€ gift voucher for the winner, it was a major success and a fun day for our models who participated!
