Once a designer has their garments (collection) ready, they hire showroom models to present the designs to buyers, department stores and special clients. In addition to modeling the garment, sometimes a showroom model is required to talk about what they are wearing. That means they must be smart, outgoing and have a great smile! Showroom modeling can be conducted inside a designer’s office, department store, retail store or in a convention setting.
