Hello,

I've seen that Ford has an open call for its commercial division - anyone know of any others?

Thanks

A distinction is important here:  Ford is not a "commercial agency", they are a fashion agency which has a (rather unique) "commercial print" division.  As such they do not operate like, or generally compete with, the "commercial print" agencies.

To my knowledge there is no good commercial print agency which has an open call.  They all prefer mail-in submissions.  There are some "commercial fashion" agencies which do, but that is a different matter entirely.

No offence but I dont see why you feel the distinction is important ... yes ford has a commercial division as well as a fashion division. My question wasn't regarding the agency I was using it as an example my question was regarding other agencies.

:-)

The distinction is important if you want to understand the commercial market, the structure of agencies in the city, and Ford's place in it.  If you don't, never mind.

"New York Commercial agencies open calls???"

None.

Some fashion agencies have open calls for their "commercial" divisions, but those are something else entirely from "commercial agencies".

My point was that the question was regarding other agencies in New York not Ford itself  - I was merely asking if other agencies with a commercial division had open calls - if the answer is no then that was all I needed.

Ok so maybe I should repost with a clearer title.

Thanks for your reply!

Ok point made!!!!!! The title is incorrect.

If anyone else would like to offer any advice of commercial agencies or fashion agencies with commercial division or anyone of that matter who is based in New York who represents commercial models that would be a great help!

Thank you!

Sorry, I just can't help myself. The going back and forth of you two was so cute while it lasted.

She's cute.  I'm old.
