MODELS MOVING TO NEW YORK?
im a model with Ford Models and my agency wants me to enter in their ford supermodel of the world search. im only 14 but when im 16 they are sending in my application and that means i would have to go to new york. i would take one of my parents with me but if i had to move to new york then my parents couldnt come with cuz i have 3 other sisters they have to take care of. does anyone have advice on where i would live and how to be safe? or ANY other important tips to know? thanks!

My friend, Manhattan is the best place and safest place to stay. It is also an affordable place for a person in the modeling industry.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck

Ford, like many other agencies, has “model apartments” where you live with a few other models and sometimes an adult minder. They will help you get set up in a local school or private tutors if you wish to continue your education.

If anybody would know, it is Ford itself. The late Eileen Ford, who founded the agency years back, always took very good care of her models in such respects. I am willing to bet it is still their policy.
