Model Spotlight

Face of the Day

Every day of the issue, one face carries the magazine — and now she lives on the calendar. Issue 01 runs through November 2026, thirty days, thirty faces: each day a model appears here with her photo, her name, and the link straight to her Instagram. Every day we invite ten models to claim a day and submit their strongest face shot — as each face is confirmed, her day fills in below.

Get Booked

From the Issue 01 cover line: “Digitals That Get Booked — What Top Agents Look For.” Here is how BMG Interactive sees new faces.

Open casting

Face of the Day submissions

The magazine’s daily spotlight is an open door. To be considered:

  • One strong face shot — clean light, no heavy filter. The face is the brand.
  • 3–5 photos ready to send if you’re selected — editorial or shoot quality.
  • A short video if you have one — selected faces get a film made from their footage.
  • A line or two about you — where you’re from and where you’re headed.

Magazine features

Spreads & Rising Star

  • RUNWAY TV collaborators get seen by the magazine team.
  • Rising Star is cast from the youth and fashion-week circuit.
  • Adults 18+ for all magazine features.

The BMG family

BMG Interactive Magazine is one title in the BMG Global family — alongside RUNWAY TV (BMG TV) and The Model Icon Podcast and The Calvin Childs Show (BMG Podcast Networks). Faces featured here move across all of them — and every channel and site in the family is gathered on one page.

About us

A Magazine That Moves

BMG Interactive Magazine is the digital fashion magazine of BMG Global (Broadcast Media Global) — an interactive publication, not a stack of static pages. Stories carry spreads you can flip page by page, galleries that open full-screen, and faces you can follow straight to their own pages.

The magazine exists for one thing: putting Black models from around the world — Africa, the Caribbean, Brazil, the UK, Europe, the US and Canada — on covers, in spreads, and on runways, and building the ladder that takes a new face from a daily spotlight to a cover of her own.

Issue 01 is the beginning: one cover, one code — the face is the brand.

Sections: About Us · Castings · Events · Spotlight · Runway — plus Rising Star for the generation coming up behind them, and the BMG family on screen: The Model Icon Podcast and RUNWAY TV, Shorts and all.
