AMA logoThe Association of Model Agents & ALBA

The difference between the Association of Model Agents and Albamodel.info is that Alba is a totally independent public advice service and not linked with or run by any model agency. The Association of Model Agents (AMA) is a small self-governing group of model agencies (18) that have set their own standards regarding conduct. They will provide you with a list of their members along with the strict criteria that they expect models to fit dealing with high fashion.


Eating Disorders Awareness

Model Health - if you or you know of someone that could be suffering with eating problems - Beat will help recognise eating disorders www.b-eat.co.uk


Press & Media

BIG Thanks to those that highlighted this model advice service & campaign.
