In this module, glean some wisdom from industry expert Bailey Bowerman.
In 2026 and beyond, we have the opportunity to take an empowered approach to modeling, especially at this local level. Models are more than clothing hangers; they give life to the creative work of designers, photographers, and makers, promote local businesses, and bring their unique aesthetic to the creative marketplace. Let’s dive into how to shift the focus from perfection, measurements, and sex appeal to providing a valuable service and impacting our local community and economy.
Can we engage aesthetic labor in a healthy, uplifting way? Can we honor our bodies in a field that views them as mere tools of the trade? I believe we can.
