How can I become a Hollister or American Eagle model?
Your first step is to have really good fashion photos. A Model Mayhem account is also a helpful resource. If you want to model for big brands like Hollister or American Eagle, make sure that some of the articles of clothing you include in your profile are from the manufacturer.
American Eagle only takes models from agencies, so your best bet is to get into an agency.
Hollister requires you to work your way up from the store and eventually you can model for them as an employee.
You can find contact information through the forums and other modeling circles, particularly on Model Mayhem. In some cases, they might ask for just a photo attached to an email and refuse links, so read the instructions before sending your information.
Consider using American Apparel, since they are open to modeling submissions.
