Model Agency Kanton Tessin
Model Agency Canton Ticino – Lake Maggiore, Mendrisiotto & close to Milan
THE GOOD STAFF casts model productions throughout Canton Ticino – from resort and tourism campaigns in Locarno and Ascona to fashion e-commerce in the Mendrisiotto around FoxTown and editorials beneath the castles of Bellinzona or in the Verzasca valley. Our models are native Italian speakers who also speak German and English, equally prepared for productions with Milan crews or agencies from German-speaking Switzerland.
Models in Kanton Tessin
Ticino is the only canton with an Italian-speaking majority, and it lies closer to Milan than to Zurich. For model productions that means Mediterranean light, palm trees and lakes, but also a dense fashion economy: international fashion groups run logistics and brand centres in southern Ticino, and Mendrisio draws shoppers to FoxTown. Locarno and Ascona define Lake Maggiore, Bellinzona has its UNESCO castles, the valleys granite and whitewater. THE GOOD STAFF casts models who think in Italian and deliver Swiss reliability.

Which productions bring brands and models to Ticino?
Fashion houses and online retailers based in southern Ticino shoot lookbooks, collection imagery and campaigns, often with photographers and stylists from Milan, while the outlet world of FoxTown in Mendrisio adds retail and social content. Locarno and Ascona provide promenades, gardens and lakeside hotels for resortwear, tourism and hospitality, and around the Locarno Film Festival also fashion content with a cinematic touch. Castelgrande in Bellinzona suits editorials, the Verzasca and Maggia valleys swimwear, outdoor and nature shoots. Food and wine brands stage Merlot, grotti and Ticino's culture of enjoyment.

Milan on the doorstep
