RooMXMatez TM: ARE YOU MODEL MATERIAL?

ARE YOU MODEL MATERIAL?

By Unknown Monday, October 26, 2015 Models Talk

A career started back in 2005 as «a challenge» for a eighteen year old teenager boy who soon had to face the reality of his dream. This sounds like the same old plot of those young boys and girls who want to walk the path of breaking through in the modelling world: a goal that many begin, but that only few can actually achieve. This is the case of Ziga Trkulja, model and today Founder and Owner of ZT Models agency, based in Belgrade, but working worldwide.

At the age of eighteen Ziga had to take on the at the time European capital of Fashion, Milan. «I soon started to work with names like Armani, Neil Barrett, Dolce & Gabbana, Diesel, ect.; and in from 2008 I spent a year and a half living in the Big Apple, which was definitely an unforgettable experience».

After definitively moving back to Milan in late 2009, where he currently lives, he founded ZT Models, his own modelling agency, while working in the industry as agent at ICE Models Milan.

The young Slovenian boy loved the idea of his career as a model because of the chance of travelling the world and make money with it, along with the opportunity of meeting new people, discovering new places and finding new aims in life. Surely he soon knew that modelling is not only fun and games, but it will eventually show the consequences of this business, as long waits at castings or having to travel most of your life for many hours and completely alone.

Making the big step to come out of the “model routine” is an idea that soon lighted up in Ziga’s head, when he decided to open his own modelling agency, ZT Models. «It was founded with the will of offering a connection between up-coming models and major fashion agencies around the world. We strive to embrace beauty with the maximum degree of social responsibility along with dedication and personal management for each and every of our models. We aim to provide best guidance and support with passion and dedication, whether it is for commercial, fashion or runway jobs.».

When it comes to what does it take to be a ZT Model, Ziga says that he’s looking for something different: «we’re looking for exes of beauty: freckles, personality, cheekbones. And all in one person, please! The modelling industry is always looking for something new, edgy, fresh: we strive to find a new “new” in modeling. In our work only the sky is the limit.».

And last but not least, at the end of our chat with the Owner of ZTM, he told us that according to him, the key to success is always an inspiration. And «inspiration is everywhere: in the small things, in the big things, in music, in pictures, in movies: just let your eyes, heart and soul open to embrace it!».
