Modeling in Zagreb

Croatia

Zagreb’s strongest documented fashion signal sits inside a wider design culture. Zagreb Design Week includes fashion shows, jewellery, leather goods, workshops and graduate presentations rather than operating as a runway-only event.

Market profile

How the market works in Zagreb

That broader design context is the point. Models may encounter fashion through independent designers, schools and interdisciplinary events rather than through a large permanent runway market. Following the programme and local creative institutions is therefore more useful than looking only for traditional Fashion Week casting.

Dates worth watching

Zagreb Design Week is a recurring date in the local fashion calendar; the 2026 edition runs 8–20 September 2026. It is broader than a fashion week, but its programme includes fashion shows and collection presentations. Its 2026 fashion programme includes four designer collections plus a Profokus College graduate show.

Before you apply

Images to have ready in Zagreb

  • A clear full-length front view.
  • A clean profile that shows silhouette.
  • A recent close-up with simple styling.
  • A short walk or movement clip if requested.

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 INC Models — Zagreb and Tarol 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.
