We love it when we get to see our BOSS Juniors in the office! We had so much fun today taking lots of portfolio pictures and can't wait to see the final photos. Here are a few highlights from today.

Romance at Roco Clothing: We're in Love With These Looks

We can't believe how grown-up our BOSS Juniors Rayne, Zach, Bella, Marcus, Felix, Remaya, Ewan and Luca look in the 'Timeless' Collection for Roco Clothing. Ethereal dresses, smart suits and waistcoats are the perfect wedding and occasion-wear - we just wish they came in our size!

And with the decorations and tins of Quality Street come the Christmas campaigns! We are so excited to see our first Christmas ad of 2016 for Hillary's Blinds featuring our brilliant BOSS Junior Jamie. See his full profile and booking information now.

Portfolio Shoots: Day #3

It's been a fun-filled three days, but our portfolio shoots for our new BOSS juniors are complete - it is going to seem really quiet in the office on Monday.

Today we've seen some exciting new talent, danced to Rihanna and even had some very first steps!

Portfolio Shoots: Day #2

We had another awesome day with our little models shooting for their portfolios today! Our new recruits have been joining us at BOSS HQ to hang out and take some snaps.

Apart from taking some brilliant photos, we've been snacking on chocolate coins, having a kickabout and even doing some acrobatics.

Keep following us on snapchat (@bossmodelmgmt) and Instagram (@bossmodeljuniors) to keep track of BOSS juniors!

Bring on portfolio shoots day three!
