PASS IT ON is a series of free workshops by YEOJA aimed at supporting the community with free resources.
in collaboration with YEOJA, uns* founders Cora Hamilton (they/them) and Max Weiland (they/he) hosted a workshop for aspiring models on Saturday 14th August 2021.
stereotypical standards of thinness, whiteness, able-bodiedness, wealth and the gender binary create huge barriers for BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, disabled and plus size models, and uns* was conceptualised out of a need for specialised representation of LGBTQIA+ folx from all backgrounds.
building a portfolio, working with an agency, red flags to look out for, social media presence, and more - we want to share our knowledge of the industry and our tips for refining your skills and strategies to pursue a career in modeling. together we share a vision of transforming representation in fashion and media into what it can and should be.
