Tips & Warnings
As of May 2009, Rocawear is only accepting models who are available on weekdays and live in the New Jersey or New York area. They ask that you do not apply if you do not live in the area or if you are not available during the week. Do not get discouraged if you are not accepted as a Rocawear model. Continue submitting your portfolio to different modeling agencies.
