New York Fashion Week-FW 2014-Jullien Herrera

This seasons New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014 is coming to an end, so I thought I'd post a few pictures of some show's Jullien was in.  He's still working and that's always a good thing since model life can be hit or miss, running from casting to casting and waiting to receive the word that you've booked a job. It can be emotionally trying especially for men who don't make the kind of money that women in this industry do.

A male model life can have you in a constant state of waiting. It definitely helps to have thick skin. Rejection is part of the game. The same holds true for acting. I don't know if I could personally handle it, but my boy has amazing self esteem and knows that it's all about a certain look a designer, photographer or company is going for at the moment. Heading into this industry at the age of 17 definitely helped to shape and mold him...5 years later...he's still going strong.

Take a trip to a few New York Fashion Week F/W 2014....

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week-Jullien Herrera Red Models

Red Model-Jullien Herrera for Codes Combine Innerwear Ad

With Mercedes Benz New York Fashion week looming just around the corner (September 8th, 2011) it's time for all the Agency's to post their line-up/boys to book. Top men's agency, Red Model Management has taken a fresh new approach to this age old process of posting pictures. They've added some style, charisma and live personality to showcase their boys.

So here's a little preview...and look for my son, Jullien Herrera (3rd dancer in the beginning) always the ham (mr. personality,) but I have to admit, my boy can DANCE!

This reminds me of retro 80's...gotta love the old school feel!

I will post his two Saturday Night Runway Show pics as soon as they are put up on the Web.

Another Modeling Offer Comes In

Today RED Model Management called Jullien and said they were supposed to have a meeting about him on Monday, but they were all out to dinner with the owner and he was the topic of discussion over their meal.

He said not only do they all have to agree, but they also show his pictures to top photographers and clients to get their feedback. If they don't like him then there is no point in pursuing a model.

He said that everyone liked his look and they want to offer an EXCLUSIVE contract with their agency. They would begin building his portfolio as soon as we sign with them (NO OUT OF POCKET MONEY FOR US - TOP AGENCIES NEVER CHARGE). We need to let them know by Monday...so we spoke for about an hour (Jullien's only 17) so of course I had to talk to him about everything.

If we go with them he would be jet setting off to Milan, Italy right after his graduation for their summer fashion shows...(scary but exciting). So we will spend the rest of today and tomorrow making a HUGE decision.

Trip To Click Modeling Agency

Jullien has been looking for a job, so I decided to send some pictures out to a few of the TOP MODELING agencies in the world.I thought, "What the heck, the kids a GIANT and maybe he can travel and make some money before he becomes a Fireman. So here is one of the pics I sent
I immediately received a response from Ford Models of New York and Click Models of LA (click on sight and watch pics)...they both requested more pictures with some specifications. Of course most of them without a shirt, (ever notice how guys in modeling ads never have shirts on?) So we took some and sent them back...



The Director of Click Models E-Mailed back immediately. She wanted to set up an appointment to meet with us (he's only 17 so I had to be there too.) Ford Models also responded and said they were going to review them with their men's board and get back to us in a week.

Jullien shaved his head before we went...I guess it wasn't a good idea. She said, "You cut your hair...not good." But she seemed to really like him...took some poloraids to send to New York and told him to start growing his hair back out and get a Passport. She is going to call us next week.

So another new and exciting adventure for our family! Remember, if you've always wanted to do something, don't be afraid...GO FOR IT!! The worst thing that can happen is you'll get rejected...no big deal, you never know unless you try!!
