Why Layla

Why brands use Layla.

Post exactly what you need

Lookbook shoot, product photography, a small campaign — describe the project, the date, and the budget. Talent swipes on what excites them.

Browse verified talent

Every model on Layla passes identity verification before appearing. Real people, real portfolios, no catfish castings.

Mutual interest only

Both sides swipe. A match means the model already wants your project — so every conversation starts warm.

A direct line, instantly

Matching unlocks messaging. No agency phone tag, no 20% commission, no waiting a week for a maybe.

Trust & safety

Verified on both sides of the camera.

Brands verify their employment or business. Models verify their identity. Everyone on Layla is who they say they are.

  • Identity verification for every user
  • Business or employment verification for brands
  • No visibility and no messaging until verified
