About the Casting

The Fashion Circuit is hosting its second model casting — and this one is big.
This casting will determine models for both the Spring/Summer 2026 and Fall/Winter 2026 shows.

If you’ve ever wanted to walk in a Fashion Circuit runway, this is your chance.
There will be no additional castings next year, so don’t miss it.

Please note:
Designers who outsource models will handle their selections independently of The Fashion Circuit. If you can’t attend this casting, you may still have the opportunity to be cast directly by a designer in the future — but your best shot at joining the lineup is to attend this event.

Note: Designers, Circuit Team Members, and Fellows are not eligible to be models.

What to Wear

Keep it simple, clean, and confident — let you shine.

• Fitted black or neutral outfit (tank or tee with jeans or leggings)

• Minimal makeup

• Heels or clean shoes suitable for walking

• Bring your comp card or headshot (optional but encouraged)

After the Casting: Sunday Sewcial (4–7 PM)

Stick around after the casting for our Sunday Sewcial, an artful networking event where creatives across fashion, design, and the arts come together to connect, collaborate, and unwind.
Come as you are — meet fellow designers, stylists, and artists, and be part of the growing creative movement shaping Des Moines’ fashion scene.
