FW26 Casting Information
About the Casting
The Fashion Circuit is hosting its third model casting to select models for its Fall/Winter 2026 show, The Beautiful Game.
Sunday, May 31 (1-4 PM) at Olson-Larsen Galleries (542 5th St., West Des Moines)
If you’ve ever wanted to walk in a Fashion Circuit runway, this is your chance.
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.
Designers, Circuit Team Members, and Fellows are not eligible to be models.
No pre-registration required. Registration will occur at the door.
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)
