UBOOKER connects models with potential clients

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Many people might be used to using a phone to order a meal or book a reservation, but a new service is bringing that same thinking to the modeling industry.

UBooker uses a web site to connect models and clients online, and the new way models are getting hired is designed to put more control in the hands of the women doing the work.

It also helps put more money in their pockets.

They have a new ally in UBooker, just as Fashion Week is set to begin Thursday here in the city.
