Myths and Reality

🤔

Myth: "They're hiring everyone."

Reality: Competition is huge. Clients are becoming more selective. Professionalism and uniqueness are now valued, not just a "European face".

🎉

Myth: "Easy money."

Reality: It's hard physical labor. Parties interfere with work. If you look tired, the client will not choose you again.

⚖️

Myth: "It takes anorexia."

Reality: For fashion, the parameters are strict. But for catalogs (e-commerce), clients prefer a healthy, trim look. Clothes should "fit" beautifully.

Anastasia K.

Hangzhou | E-commerce

"I worked in Hangzhou for three months. It was my first contract with Diamond Model and I was very worried about the visa and flight. But the managers organized everything perfectly. The work was hard - 100 bows a day for Taobao, and my legs were buzzing terribly. But when I received the first payment and closed all the minus for 2 weeks, I realized that it was worth it. The agency was always on the model's side if the client delayed the shoot. I bought a car when I got home! Thank you so much to the team for the 24/7 support."

Elena M.

Shanghai | Fashion

"Shanghai is love at first sight. I flew in for Fashion Week. The competition was fierce, but the Diamond Model bookers got me castings with top brands. I did four shows and shot for local Elle. The living conditions in the apartment were excellent: the center of the city, a view of the skyscrapers, cleanliness. The most important thing was security. I always knew that a strong agency was behind me. The money was paid on time, every Tuesday without delay. I recommend to all professionals."

Mother Agency (Russia)

Eskimo Models Russia

"We have been cooperating with Diamond Model for 5 years. This is one of the most reliable partners in China. Always transparent reporting (statements), timely commission payments and, most importantly, the safety of our models. We have peace of mind when we send even 'new faces' to them. They are really about management, not just maintenance. I appreciate their promptness in resolving visa issues and honesty in business."

Fashion Brand

Urban Revivo

"We have been working with Diamond Model for several seasons for lookbook shoots. Their models are always prepared: professional posing, punctuality, excellent physical shape. The agency's bookers respond very quickly to our requests, even if the shoot is needed 'for tomorrow'. This is a high level of service, which helps us to maintain our sales pace. The best choice of foreign faces in Guangzhou."

Olga S.

Guangzhou | Lingerie

"I am a Plus Size model and in Europe I was told to lose weight. In Guangzhou, I was accepted for who I am! There's a huge market for plus size lingerie and clothes here. I worked almost every day. Diamond Model found me a contract with a guarantee, which gave me confidence. I really liked the attitude of the Chinese - they are polite, they feed me during the shoots and give me gifts. The agency made sure there was no overwork. I returned home with a great portfolio and confidence."

E-commerce Giant

Tmall / Alibaba Group

High efficiency - models can withstand 10-hour shifts with a smile. The agency provides all the necessary paperwork to work legally, which is critical for us as a major platform."
