Model Application for KCFW / STLFW
Please Read Before Continuing:
Filling out this form is NOT your audition. You must also attend an in person audition. You only need to attend one audition date.
This form will be used for both KCFW and STLFW. (A St. Louis Date will be announced in the future for STLFW only)
KCFW/STLFW Model Auditions will be happening in-person on
Wednesday, November 12th from 5pm - 8pm
Saturday, November 15th from 10am - 2pm
Sunday, November 16th from 10am - 2pm
Location:
Oak Park Mall - Lower Level by Nordstrom.
11149 W 95th St, Overland Park, KS 66214
Parking is easiest on the Lower Level East Parking Garage.
You must be checked in with a model number sticker 15 minutes prior to the end of the day. Late arrivals will not be accepted.
YOU ONLY NEED TO AUDITION ONCE. Auditioning twice will slow the process and multiple auditions will be deleted.
Auditioning and/or making the roster does not guarantee that you will be booked to walk for KCFW or STLFW.
You do not need to be there for the entire time frame. Your individual audition will take less than 5 minutes once you are through the line.
Please wear all black, snug fitting clothing.
Heels need to be 3+" - not boots.
We highly recommend that you complete and submit this form prior to attending. Any models missing a form submission or any contact information will not be eligible for booking and will be automatically removed from the model casting group.
Models are asked to provide accurate and reliable contact information and availability. Models should be prepared to have measurements, headshot, full-length shot, and a video of their runway walk collected during the casting. KCFW will take the photos and videos, you do not need to bring these items with you. All casting submissions will be reviewed by Kansas City Fashion Week, LLC.
RUNWAY DATES FOR KCFW ARE March 25-28, 2026.
RUNWAY DATES FOR STLFW ARE PENDING FOR JUNE 2026.
