Reserved for fashion models only, The Model Lounge serves as a retreat for [female models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loro-pianas) to chill between castings, relax, grab a bite and receive free swag. The Model Lounges are sponsored by companies who provide all access privilege cards for “qualified” patrons. You must actually be a model, can’t just look like one. Miami’s Model Lounge is sponsored by [REEF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef) and housed at the [Delano Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-hotel-1). Sigh…yet another reason to hate models, right? Now, now, you can always book a room at the hotel and mingle on the outskirts around the beautiful people. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Exclusive Model Lounges:** Creating exclusive lounges for models to relax and receive special privileges during their downtime. - **Fashion Model Retreats:** Establishing retreats specifically designed for female models to unwind and recharge between castings. - **Industry-sponsored Model Lounges:** Partnering with brands to sponsor model lounges and offer free swag to qualified patrons. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend by creating more exclusive spaces and experiences for models, enhancing their overall well-being and productivity. - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels and resorts can collaborate with fashion brands to create model lounges as a unique selling point and attract high-end clientele. - **Event Planning Industry:** Event planners can tap into the trend by organizing VIP retreats and lounges specifically targeted towards fashion models, providing them with a luxurious and exclusive experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Pool Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bombon-pool-club.md) - [Rooftop Pool Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-swexan-x-missoni.md) - [Retailer-Branded Airport Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-upgrade-lounge.md) - [Collaborative Lounge Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-earth-loews-hotels-lounge-set.md) - [Design District Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hotel-at-the-moore.md) - [Soft Modernist-Inspired Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-design-district.md) - [Hot Pink Skincare Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palm-court.md) - [Cobalt Blue-Tiled Cocktail Lounges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/only-love-strangers.md) - [Subterranean Social Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel.md)
