Why should you listen to me?

I’m Jamie Lee, a 40ish year old, single mother of 3 boys, and now a Plus Size model.

I am a proud alumni of the Plus Size Model Mastery Workshop, winter 2024 cohort. As a result, I have modeled for:

BEYOU Clothing Brand

Probably Special

Plus Sized, Canadian made and Sustainable!?! Yes Please!

TPSFS

I have also had the absolute privilege to walk for four incredible designers in the Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show 2024.

Needless to say, I have been through the workshop, and the benefits to my blossoming career have been many.

There truly is no limit to what you can accomplish with the right guidance and tools, and this Workshop provides both.

Malia Indigo-Plus Size Modeling Mastery Workshop Pricing

There are two ways to take this Workshop. One is to pay week by week ($50×8 CAD) and for the Photoshoot ($200 CAD) and Runway Training($150 CAD) days individually. Potentially, this route would be more expensive if you were to participate in the full program. However this would work well for those who want the training but cannot travel to Toronto for the Photoshoot and Runway training.

The full Workshop is $650 CAD and the route I took. In my opinion this is the best value and the best experience. If you can travel to be in person for the photoshoot and runway trainings, please do so. This will better prepare you for your first professional jobs and you will create some of the most sincere and beautiful friendships.

Malia Indigo-Plus Size Modeling Mastery Workshop Competitors

To the best of my knowledge, most major fashion event or talent producers have workshops. The majority of workshops I have found usually are one day, occasionally two or three days.

For someone like me this is not ideal. I would struggle to process all of that incredible information in such a short period of time.

The price for these workshops generally range from $700 to $1200 or more.

Who should AVOID Malia Indigo-Plus Size Modeling Mastery Workshop?

If you are looking for something to do for “funsies” then this program is NOT for you.

This is NOT a lifestyle, despite what social media may tell you. Modeling is a profession, a career. It requires consistency of hygiene and grooming, business skills, artistic skills, the ability to adapt and express yourself in the way the creative director needs you to. You have too develop a high level of self awareness and be committed to your practicing your craft everyday.

Do not come to this workshop thinking it would be a fun little hobby to have.

This Workshop is everything.

From the very first virtual session to the finale walk at the Toronto Plus Size Fashion Show 2024, I have been valued, supported, celebrated, educated and empowered. I have made the most beautiful connections with some of the best people.

My career will continue to grow in the best way, thanks to the knowledge, skills and opportunities provided by the people behind Malia Indigo’s Plus Size Modeling Mastery Workshop.
