vision problem

can anyone give me any info on the vision agency? i read somewhere that they focus on a particular look, 'intellectual chic'. wth does that mean? it's almost as if they want to be a bit mysterious , they have a website but no one seems able to get into it. seriously:

I think that elite is one of the most prestigeous model agencies

Think models like Hannelore, Ann Catherine Lacroix etc. i know Hannelore and Marina Perez used to be with vision but they all left for other agencies

I'd go with DNA and IMG, but Women is getting up there.

Elmer Olsen Models + Canadian Models

Any info about any girls that are signed with Elmer Olsen? Simply because you need to be with ModelWire to gain access.

Photos...Information...Polaroids...Candids all really appreciated!

Some of the girls that I'm really curious about are...

1. Madeleine Berrevoets
2. Erica Krauter (Walked for Fendi)
3. Honorine
4. Morgan Handbury
5. Michèle Miller
6. K.P.
7. Marla Boehr
8. Elodie (looks as if she did some work for Clinique or something like that)
9. Kaitlyn Vanderkoo
10. Kamilah

Is Elmer Olsen a good agency?

 

[yourbestfriend]

Marla Boehr is also signed with modemodels and she did a miumiu/prada exclusive this past season

And Morgan Handbury is with supreme in nyc

planit M

Hi everyone

I will be in NYC during the begining of August and hope to attend an open call while I am there.

Has anyone had any experiences with the planit M agency?

I hope to drop by during their open call on Thursday for two reasons

1) I've never been to this particular agency and it's always good to try new ones
2) They are close to my hotel

So if anyone has any experiences or stories, positive or negative, do tell!

Thanks guys!

-- Jason

From models.com ...

For the past two weeks, the NY modeling scene has been abuzz with wild speculation regarding the current doings at Women NY. Last Friday MDC sat down with Chris Gay, new partner and C.E.O, and legendary founder Paul Rowland to set the record straight once and for all. In a perfectly frank yet civilized manner the new industry power team (heavy accent on team) essayed the message that the two meant business. Specifically that business was all about hinging the agency’s uncompromising aesthetic to a perfectly honed business strategy . In order of rampant rumor, here are the details.

1. The kingdom of Women has NOT been split into two fiefdoms, one for Chris Gay at Women and the other for Paul Rowland at Supreme. As Gay succinctly defines it “Paul’s influence will be felt throughout the agency as a whole”. Given the fact that the 45 model Supreme board has been drastically stripped back to 15 models, Rowland outlined that the intention “was to bring Supreme back to the level of quality that has always been the signature of this agency. It’s about representing exciting, interesting girls who give you a strong feeling of fashion.” He continued “Women is secure. It’s at Supreme that a challenge lies so that’s my focus today. ”

2. The rumor that the motive for the partnership was to merge Rowland’s unmatched legacy for imaging models with Gay’s well-established talent for corporate negotiation (especially on on those plush contracts) is pretty much accurate.

3. The presumption that two indiviuals with this much drive and ambition (and the ego that often-times come with the package) could not possibly exist was met by Chris Gay’s cryptic smile. “There are things coming up that will prove this is going to be a very rewarding partnership for all involved.” Suffice it to say the agenda seems to be to bring the agency to a primary position in the business, an agenda that is better served by a joint effort.

Politics and diplomacy aside , one thing is certain, with a full pack of new faces spilling out of the Women board for S/S 06, there’s more than a few girls for this power team to put their masterplan to the test with. And such is the whim of the modeling trade. In an industry where change is the norm, the simple rule is …one evolves or dies.

i've heard good things about planit M.. they are faily new.. i remember meeting a really sweet girl from there at a calvin klein casting and she had only good things to say. plus don't they have rosie h-w? she's getting pretty big.. i'd say it's definitely a good agency from what i have heard.

i'm not so sure about the guys division though? the bookers are probably the same since it's a pretty small agency.. so that would be good.. but i don't know

thanx.

vision is a PUSHY agency. if they don't get what they want.. they get rude. and many of their models have turned into high school dorp outs. that's all i am going to say.

but hey.. that's from personal experiences.. other girls i've met love them. i don't know if they all looked intellectual though? good question.. i don't think i look intellectual..

 

[sashatheelf]

rosie left for women, but they did get her started. my friend is with planit m, she said they have a gym and personal trainer for models who are a bit 'out of shape'. other than that, i dont know much else about them.

 

[foxinthesnow]

They closed their mens division.

 

[Lea]

Accdg to modelwire they represent Ben Jelen, Ian Jones, Benjamin Kelley, and James Jennings in mens. In their womens division they have 80 girls.
