DX2 Models - one of the most highly sought after and reputable fashion modeling agencies in the US.
DX2: Doug Douglas
The founder and owner of DX2 is Doug Douglas. When he was a child, his parents had recently divorced and his mom was working three jobs in an effort to pay the bills, and Doug wanted to attend a private school in Dallas. Financially, this was an impossibility given his family's situation. The generosity of a stranger changed that as he offered to pay Doug's tuition until he graduated. It made an impression on him and he committed to himself that when he was older, if he had the means the opportunity, he would help others as well. DX2 is the result of that commitment as he invests into others and the pursuit of their dreams.
An accomplished and award-winning photographer, Doug decided that a modeling agency was the route to go. His focus is on the fashion industry, one of the most difficult and competitive industries in the world. Over the past 10 years, he has grown DX2 to be one of the most respected fashion modeling agencies in the world. The models he has developed have signed with major agencies around the world and worked with some of the biggest names in fashion. His focus on model development has created a steady stream of some of the finest up and coming fashion models on the planet.
DX2 Model Management is now widely recognized as the best fashion modeling agency in Texas. Although they are a small agency, the routinely are selected by designers, producers, and casting directors at a significantly higher percentage than models from any of the larger and more well known agencies. This should be a model's agency of choice.

The DX2 Differences
DX2 is not like the traditional modeling agency who focuses more on commissions and gigs than on the needs of the model. Can you imagine entering a swim meet and not knowing how to swim? As common sense as this sounds, we believe you need to know how to model before you can model - but that's not what a traditional agency does. They sign models and then leave them to themselves to go figure it out. As a result, you get models who are stuck in bad habits, limited knowledge and skills, and who often put themselves in risky situations because they simply don't know better.
DX2 puts models first. We provide consistent individual coaching and development every month for every model signed with us. Our models only work with DX2 photographers eliminating the risk of walking into unknown environments and people. We work directly with scouts and agency owners from major agencies around the world to promote our models and assist them at gaining bigger opportunities globally. DX2 is actively involved in the model's career - attending shows and client events to encourage, support, and protect when needed. Developing models to a world class level and then helping them advance in their careers with major global agencies is our goal, THE PRIORITY that drives everything that we do.
There's a big difference between DX2 and the traditional agency. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't mean it was the best way, or the right way, or the most beneficial way. DX2 has reinvented how a modeling agency should work - benefitting the model.

SINGLE STOP FOR MODELS, SHOOTS, RUNWAY AND EVENT PRODUCTION
DX2 is your SINGLE STOP for all modeling needs. Like most agencies, we can provide fashion models for photoshoots or runway events. But what also makes us unique is that we provide the photography of those models. We've found that by using a photographer that the models are used to, familiar with, and understand, the quality of the shoot is astronomically higher! So we provide it as a package deal.

He is extremely qualified and his shows are known for running perfectly.

" I had the chance to work with the DX2 models at the XLR8 Fashion Show in Houston. It was my first time working with these models and I hope it won't be my last! These girls are highly professional and did an amazing job wearing my designs and showing it off on the runway. Doug, the founder of DX2, also produced the XLR8 Fashion Show and it went very smoothly. The quality of the runway setup, lighting, and visual effects were very well done. I would definitely love to work with DX2 models for future shoots/shows and hopefully collaborate again with Doug to produce my own runway show for my fashion brand.

It's a very high percentage compared to the bigger named agencies that compete with us.
We currently have several other models that we believe will achieve this level very shortly. |
