Market profile
How the market works in Guadalajara
The local ecosystem extends through trade, brand presentation and commercial production as well as traditional fashion casting. Guadalajara is most useful to understand as a place where the business of fashion itself is active, rather than as an imitation of a global fashion capital.

Before you apply
Images to have ready in Guadalajara
- A recent close-up with natural expression.
- A clear full-length front view and one profile.
- One natural commercial portrait showing expression, not heavy styling.
- Current measurements; add a walk clip only for runway-oriented briefs.
Keep measurements current and use recent images. A portfolio can support an application, but it should not replace clean, neutral digitals when those are requested.
Check the current application requirements at Blink Model Management before shooting anything specifically for them. Treat the current form as the brief: requested images, measurements and file formats can differ from one organisation to another.
