You have a test shoot with an agency model scheduled and you're looking for a stylist & makeup artist to round out the team. You've tried Model Mayhem, but it isn't quite working. You don't have time to go out searching and you're tired of being messaged by people who clearly aren't qualified. Sound vaguely familiar?
If you've been looking for an alternative - a network that works fast and actually cares about quality control - then you're in luck, my friend.
Meet TheDailyCollective: A new social media concept for fashion freelancers that focuses entirely on simplifying and accelerating the casting process - and does it all for free.

Click the "Submit Project" tab at the top of the page & fill us in on the details of your project.
We extend a project organizer's reach by sending their casting out to our network of subscribers - a far-reaching collective of fashion designers, stylists, models, makeup artists, hair stylists and photographers.
These subscribers receive a daily casting call email from us and scan it for projects that catch their eye. When they see one they're interested in and qualified for, they email the project organizer directly.
Once the email goes out, you'll soon begin receiving emails from candidates. Contact the ones you want to work with and get your project off the ground.
If you have questions, check out our FAQ or send us an email.

Tired of combing through casting call databases looking for legitimate fashion projects to connect with?
Yep - we know the feeling. That's why we've created TheDailyCollective - a new social media concept designed to help you advance your business, cultivate new contacts, tap new markets and swell your portfolio.
Think of us as a daily email newsletter dedicated to casting calls. We send out projects looking for fashion designers, stylists, makeup artists, models and photographers. We do all the screening first, so everyone is legitimate and there's no garbage.
..oh yeah, and did we mention it's 100% free?

Click the "Subscribe" tab at the top of the page. Submit your name & email, and just like that, you're connected. Welcome to the Collective.
*Depending on the web browser you're using, you might have to click the "Subscribe" tab twice.
Once you sign up, you’ll start receiving emails from us listing upcoming fashion projects. Read through them and keep an eye out for projects you're qualified for.
OK - You see a project. You're qualified. You want to be a part of it... Now what?
Go for it! Every casting includes an email address for the project organizer. Go ahead and respond via email and let them know you're interested.
Here are a few rules-of-thumb for responding:
- Have "TheDailyCollective" or "TDC" somewhere in the subject line.
- Make sure you include contact information and a link to your portfolio.
- Try to keep your message brief and easy to read.
Oh - and please make sure you're familiar with The Collective Code before responding to any projects.
If you have questions, check out our FAQ or send us an email.

Unlike other niche social media tools, TheDailyCollective has no price tag or learning curve. Rather than develop a new technology to manage our network, we're keeping it simple by using standard email, facebook and twitter.

This is where you can sign up, submit your projects and learn the basics of how the service works. (Top-right menu for navigation)
Once you subscribe, you're connected. Project listings are emailed to you directly.
When we receive projects needing help on short notice, we pass them on to you via twitter @dailycollective and on our facebook fanpage. We post all TDC news and updates there too.
