Show Notes
Fashion Week looks glamorous from the outside—but behind the runway are castings, callbacks, long waits, tough decisions, and rejection that most people never see.
In this episode of The Model Way Podcast, Lenny Wheeler takes you behind Fashion Week to talk about the realities models face when the cameras aren’t rolling. What happens when you don’t get the callback? How should models handle rejection? And why can one “no” have absolutely nothing to do with your potential?
We break down the business behind Fashion Week, the casting process, professionalism, preparation, confidence, and what models can do after Fashion Week to keep building their careers.
Whether you're an aspiring model, working talent, parent, creative, photographer, or simply curious about what really happens behind the runway, this episode gives you a look at the side of Fashion Week that doesn't always make it onto social media.
In this episode: Fashion Week • Modeling Castings • Rejection • Callbacks • Runway • Model Development • Fashion Industry • Career Advice
