Okay, so here’s the deal. I decided to dive into something kinda random the other day: finding some male models from the UK. Why? Honestly, I was just curious! No big project or anything, just a little personal exploration.
First thing I did, like anyone else, was hit up Google. I typed in “united kingdom male models” and bam! A ton of stuff popped up. Agencies, articles, model directories… you name it. Felt a bit overwhelming at first.
I started clicking around on some of the agency websites. Premier Model Management, Select Model Management, Models 1… these are apparently the big names in the UK. Spent a good hour just scrolling through their portfolios. Some seriously good-looking dudes, I gotta say.
Next up: I tried to narrow things down a bit. “UK male models editorial” was my next search. That gave me a different vibe – more high-fashion, less commercial. Think edgy photoshoots and quirky clothes. Definitely interesting.
Then I thought, “Hey, let’s see what Instagram’s got.” Searched for hashtags like #ukmalemodel #londonmodel #britishmodel. Found a bunch of aspiring models posting their work. Some were really good, others… well, let’s just say they were trying. It was cool to see the variety, though.
- I even checked out some male fashion blogs based in the UK, hoping to find models featured in their posts. Found a few new faces that way.
- Went down a rabbit hole looking at runway shows from London Fashion Week. Spotted a few models I hadn’t seen before.
Here’s where it got a bit tricky: trying to figure out who was actually working and who was just starting out. A lot of Instagram models have impressive photos, but it’s hard to tell if they’re getting booked for real jobs.
I ended up creating a little spreadsheet (yeah, I know, nerdy!) to keep track of the models I liked, their agencies, and any interesting projects they’d worked on. Nothing fancy, just names and links.
The Outcome
So, what did I get out of all this? Not much, to be honest. No earth-shattering discoveries. Just a better understanding of the UK male modeling scene. It’s a competitive world, that’s for sure. And there’s a lot more to it than just being good-looking.
Would I do it again? Maybe. It was a fun way to kill an afternoon and learn something new. Plus, now I have a bunch of cool model profiles to follow on Instagram. Who knows, maybe I’ll even get inspired to up my own fashion game!
