How To Get Scouted By A Model Agent: Top Models Share Their Stories

This Is How Top Models Really Get Discovered

Ever wondered how top modelsreally get discovered? Teen Vogue did some investigating.

Their latest video gives us all an insight into the fashion world - revealing the ways some of the hottest young models were scouted by their modelling agencies.

Some were discovered the traditional way - through simply walking into an agency, or being stopped in the street or shops by a model scout (even when they were as young as 12-years-old!).

One male model even had his now-agent run up to him through a busy crowd in London's Covent Garden to give him her business card.

Others were persuaded to give posing a go by friends and family already working as models (including Victoria's Secret Angel Taylor Hill's sister Mackinley).

While some models were discovered in a very 21st century way - through emailing in photos to agencies, or being spotted by agents on Facebook.
