    As a mother agent myself, its important that the models who are often minors need to inform their parents about these business conversations. Aspiring models who are legally underage must have their legal guardian to co-sign the mother agency agreement.

    At 5'2", size 8-10, and in the middle of nowhere Midwest, I made peace pretty young that I would never be a model. Its nice to see the modeling industry slowly begin to embrace diversity though. 🙌

    What gorgeous ladies! Be sure to support them in the direction of education, too! Modeling doesn't last forever.

    Do they look after and accompany these young women that they've scouted to prevent them being put in abusive situations that have happen in the past i wonder.

      Agencies that are actually reputable pay very close attention to their models and their safety. If an agency allows a model to work in an abusive situation that agency is not reputable and should not be allowed to be doing business

    I am 5'2'' and very skinny asian girl. Since, model industry has been out-of-the-box, it has given me new challenge and dream to become a model. I truly believe that new generation model industry embraces me. And this coincidental video encourages me and gives me hope today :)

    i’ve always wanted to be a model but i’m 5’3, size 4. its bittersweet knowing that the industry has changed but not enough for me to fit in. you’re either extremely ambiguous, opposite of the stereotype or the stereotype.

    I don’t know if I would be proud of this. Introducing them to the possibility of eating disorders, predatory men and being treated like an object. It’s looks aspirational but there’s plenty of evidence that it sucks.

      ⁠@@bbumblebtrue - but this industry seems to have an overabundance of evil that most other careers don’t have. You only need to see the 60 minutes Australia documentary about Gerald Marie to see the inherent problems with modelling.

    I’m glad that she went over that you don’t have to pay-to-play. But it’s a shame that they only showed standard size models when the industry has evolved way past just that.

      One of the girls was bigger than the others. She would definitely not be considered a traditional-size model.

    wow, jasmine is so beautiful. duh, i know she is a model, but still. also, she seems like a very cool grounded person, and its nice to see her coaching her girls (women) in such helpful constructive positive encouraging manner :) also, i like that she is an Aussie (that explains a lot about her coolness), and her voice and cute accent are included in her aforementioned beauty :) bye, dear lil 5'8" Aussie mentor coach mother agent ❤ :)

    I’m not saying all models Scouts are bad, but please do your research before you sign or do or go anywhere. Make sure you do your research. There are so many horror stories online about women and men being taken advantage of by these fake model scouts or sometimes real scouts. The modeling industry is very lucrative and easy way for a minor to get taken advantage of.
