The Model Agency Mega Thread (January 2004 - March 2010)

And it works exactly the same way with the agencies in big markets. Most of them, or should I rather say all, sign exclusive contracts with their models, only. That means that the models can't be with other agencies at the same time. But, if the agency believes that a certain model needs to go somewhere, say Tokyo or Milan, before she can really start off and they don't have a brunch in that town, they will find her a different agency there that wants to take her on with a short time contract. Once again, they get their commission and the agency away gets their's also.

Basicly, that means that a girl can have different mother agencies in different places during her modeling career, just not at the same time.
To put it even shorter a "mother agency" is a business term, non-affected by any matters, such as who inputs more in a girl's career or who first opened her.


Well, that's the way I see it... If anyone from the industry has something to correct me at, please, do so.

^ what you said is pretty correct.

what i was getting at about DNA vs IMG was that IMG have big girls and make them bigger but to be mother agent to them as well as have big girls and make them bigger is even better

think of it like the difference between renting a house vs owning a house
obviously owning the house is better...because you have no rent to pay

i rate DNA above IMG in NY actually...
although IMG may appear to have the major major talent, they aren not mother agent to many of those huge girls were as DNA are
their talent scouting is precision
their mens board is spot on too

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not mother agent to those girls. Glad you dont know what your talking about.

 

[Acid]

^ i didnt say they were mother agent to ALL of the girls
they are just mother agent to a lot of their big names...

olá todoss, question: I was jst curious as to which agencies, if any, are currently a touch more conducive to taking on models who are borderline/below req. height (5'5-5'6ish)? I'm aware that smaller agencies are always more open; but are there any well-established agencies out there who are more likely to value face & frame above simple stature?
