Your contracts, rules and per diems, per agency.
Odette is a modeling agency contract and statement tracker: commission, per diems and notice read from the contract, and every statement line matched to its job.
A mother agency, local agencies, sometimes a commission split between them. Drop each contract: Odette reads the commission, term, notice, expenses. Statements are matched line by line; advances and comp cards post to a running balance.
Fourteen pages,
six lines that matter.
Commission, per diem, taxis, notice, renewal, expenses. Every clause with her confidence in words — sure, likely, check this. Never a percentage.
Mostly standard. Two things to look at.
Women Milan passes 10% to Élan — the Élan contract says 15%.
Flagged in one sentence when the second contract is read. The question to both agencies is drafted.
“No agency — and that’s fine.”
Direct is neither a flaw nor an upgrade: a different framework. Invoices, payments and rights are then handled from the job.
The statement, matched to your jobs.
A monthly statement lists what the agency collected and deducted. Odette matches each line to a known job or clause, and sets aside what she doesn’t recognise.

line by line.
A questioned line stays outside the balance until it’s agreed. The balance settles against the next statement — Odette shows it on the agency’s page while it’s negative.
“Élan’s July statement is in — €1,554 matched, one line set aside.”

The contract feeds the job, the statement feeds the money. Each checks the other.
Frequently asked
I work without an agency — is Odette useful?
Yes. Invoices, payments and image rights are then handled direct, from the job.
Several agencies in several cities?
That’s the intended case: a mother agency, local agencies, different commissions and sometimes a split between them. Each has its own account.
Does Odette give legal advice?
No. She reads, summarises, compares with your other contracts and drafts the question to ask. The decision stays human.
Odette, market by market.
Commission, payment terms, currency and fashion week dates change from one city to the next. What each one does is on its own page.
