Today we’re launching two new additions for Models.com Pro members: MDC Talent Watch Reports, our new data analytics tool, and Pro News, our editorial hub for trends, analysis, and commentary on the creative talent marketplace.
Models.com has always been the industry’s working platform, where images are seen, credits checked, and the people shaping fashion’s visual language are discovered.
Together, Talent Watch Reports and Pro News create a single destination for the data and editorial insight behind how creative talent is discovered, valued, and booked.
As AI is reshaping how images are made and raising real concerns across the creative community, our focus at Models.com remains what it has always been: on human creativity and the people behind it. Both of these new additions are built to spotlight the individuals whose vision and work shape fashion.
MDC Talent Watch Reports
Included with every Pro membership, MDC Talent Watch Reports combines two complementary data sources to provide a recurring view of fashion’s creative landscape.
Drawing on Models.com’s database of verified industry professionals, Talent Watch distills rankings, bookings, casting frequency, agency mappings, and creative team compositions into actionable industry intelligence. Need to know who’s working, who’s emerging, and who’s making headlines? It’s all there.
Talent Watch also tracks off-platform activity across Instagram, cataloguing the moves, moments, and rising names driving industry conversation.
MDC Talent Watch Reports are Launching with:
- Spring / Summer 2027 Menswear Cheat Sheet – covering the latest menswear shows in Milan and Paris.
- Couture! – covering the Paris Couture season.
Together, these reports offer an immediate overview of the creative talent shaping the current runway cycle.
Pro News
Pro News is Models.com’s new editorial destination for Pro members.
Expanding our coverage of the creative talent marketplace, Pro News examines the trends, shifts, and conversations shaping fashion through in-depth analysis and insider perspectives on the people, systems, and moments defining the industry today. Updated regularly with commentary from an expanding roster of contributors, it offers a deeper understanding of the forces behind the work.
Pro News is Launching with:
- Pierre A. M’Pele debuting in his new role as a Models.com editor-at-large with Casting As Politics: The Negotiation of Beauty. The agents, casting directors, and creative directors quietly redrawing the lines of who belongs on the runway.
- Contributing Editor Zoë Yasemin on In the Age of AI, What Is a Photograph Proving Now?. How proof has migrated from inside the image to the credit block around it, and why provenance is becoming the value.
- Contributing Editor Madeleine Rothery on Fashion’s Conversation With the Body Has Never Been More Complicated. The designers, casting directors, and image-makers building the infrastructure that co-authorship between garment and body actually requires.
- Contributing Editor Robyn Mowatt on In Brooklyn’s Indie Hip-Hop Scene, Fashion and Music Converge Effortlessly. Music serves as the unifying force in Brooklyn’s indie hip-hop scene, where fashion creatives have cultivated a thriving community.
More from our contributor roster will follow in the weeks ahead.
I hope you find as much value in these as we’ve put into building them.
