S/S 26 Casting Call: Your Chance to Walk the Runway & Get Signed
Fashion Art Toronto x Want Management Live Casting + Cash Prize!
The wait is over—In-Real-Life (IRL) casting is officially back for Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 and we’re bringing everyone back!
This season, we are thrilled to partner with Want Management to bring you an opportunity like never before.
With a return to live casting bringing on a strong agency partner is a no brainer! We are excited to announce our Partnership with Want Management for our Official Model Casting for Spring/Summer 2026.
Our amazing venue parter T3 Bayside will be partnering with us to bring the casting back IRL.
Fashion Art Toronto + Want Management will also be giving the Signed Model $500 to jump start their career!
All Models who have applied will need to attend the casting. This includes returning models, past alumni models, and new faces. New Face models will still be required to submit a walk video for the judging panel to review before your live casting. Returning models will not need to submit a walk video but will need to attend the casting.
