Shaq, JCPenney & Wilhelmina Models Kick Off Big & Tall Model Search

Ever thought about becoming a big & tall model? Your opportunity might just be here! International modeling agency Wilhelmina Models is teaming up with Shaquille O’Neal and JCPenney to launch Shaq’s Big & Tall Model Search. Winners from the search will be signed to Wilhelmina’s plus size male model division, called Titans.

We’re hosting the biggest and tallest model search around to help big, sexy guys like me finally get the recognition they deserve.

Why Launch a Model Search?

Surprisingly, many companies have difficulties finding big & tall models for their campaigns. According to Shaq, this was an issue when launching his own clothing line at JCPenney, the Shaquille O’Neal XLG Collection. “[It] was a challenge to find big and tall guys to model for the campaign, so we asked our friends at Wilhelmina to hit the streets to find a few good men who are larger than life. Through this exciting partnership with Wilhelmina and JCPenney, we’re hosting the biggest and tallest model search around to help big, sexy guys like me finally get the recognition they deserve.”
