Market profile
How the market works in Prague
Prague offers opportunities around established labels, young designers and school-linked presentations rather than one homogeneous casting market. A graduate show and a commercial brand presentation can look for very different profiles, so following the programme closely matters.

Before you apply
Images to have ready in Prague
- A recent close-up with natural skin texture and simple hair.
- A full-length front view plus a clean profile.
- One simple image with movement, without heavy styling.
- A short walk clip if the casting asks for one.
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.
