Calling All Runway Models. Billabong is hosting a casting with runway models from all the top LA agencies expected in attendance. 500 model cards have gone through review.

In 3 hours a team of 6 work to get over a 100 models in and out of the casting. That’s 90 seconds per model; enough time to take a photo, do a runway walk, pose, and have notes taken by a table of four observers.

The goal to book a final 14 runway models for the June 17th show. Check back Wednesday for a post on the day’s run through.
