i know img, elite, the typical ones. but i am looking for something a little bit smaller but still good!
thanks

 

[LawrenCium]

by m&p models official website, the model named Dana also seemed done the cover and eds at L'officiel mag, therefore i think m&p is powerful agency.

the agencies that i know for now are:
(and i also presume the agencies to which * has adhered are nice ability but sorry if you have still known)

10 mgt*, Attitude London, Bookings, Boss mgt*, Cape london, First mgt, Fm agency*, Independent (formerly ICM)*, Isis models, Koko models, Models1*, Mot models, Nevs*, New England models, Next*, Premier mgt*, Profile agency, Select mgt*, Storm models*, Take2 mgt*, Take3 mgt, The model team UK, Union mgt, Zone models.

Back to the post a few weeks ago re Isis/First Models - it's the same people in charge from what I've been told.... so I guess a few of the girls that they didnt p off when they shut Isis will have gone with them to First?

Hey guys! Im Ghostkeeper.
Im new here. I was invited by samanthay.
Let me just say.. THIS FORUM IS AMAZING. I've been on many before
and this one is the best. It has so much information and active users!!

I just wanted to ask if anyone knew any good modeling agencies in Alberta
that would be good to start of my career with.
Im really looking into getting into the business!
If you have any information/tips for me that would rock!!

 

[LawrenCium]

hi Ghostkeeper, i have interests to modeling industry too. Mode models has the office in Edmonton and Calgary.

 

[Ghostkeeper]

Thanks alot! I've been talking to people on
other sites to and they say Mode is the best!

Also, Im 14. What height do you think I would have to be?

 

[Chalice]

What height?

Do a bit of research at newmodels.com for the height and measurements.

The for-profit model searches are pretty exploitive, and full of hidden downsides, even for the qualified girls. Besides Mode Models (Canada, US), which other reputable agencies have free model searches during the year?

Ali Michael's agency found her in one.

I haven't ever seen one in this city. There is a Chinese beauty pageant, supposedly the prize is a modeling contract in China, but it is not connected with a top agency as far as I know.

So the big question is Next going to fall further into the hole? The 2 top bookers-Mimmi in Paris and Caroline in NY have both left (a few weeks ago)and it seems that more girls are going to jump as well-who will handle Catherine Mcniel now-or will she leave. I wonder where she will go as I dont think it will be IMG as it's star is fading really fast-they dropped the Mens division as it wasnt making a dime,forget the MDC spin that it was 'aquired'-it was on the chopping block and it seems that there will be major changes to IMG's womens division as well as a lot of girls are not happy and are 'very bored' and the actual owners havent found a 'sucker' to buy it. Fashion caos,love it!

 

[xPedro]

I saw a lot of people saying that IMG is fading out, but I can't understand why, can anybody please explain to me?

I know Next did just cut a bunch of new faces, they had taken on SO many girls and now they have lost a few girls and bookers. As for IMG girls being bored, maybe some. They are a huge agency as well. However, I think the funniest part is the poster of that little note. Click on his name and it goes to none other than Paolo@IDmodels... as in Paolo Zampoli, owner of ID Models, well known for being one of the least credible people in the business.

^Good work evedwards!!! You should be a detective

 

[mikel]

really? that hilarious, I thought owners of modelling agencies had better things to do than post critique on fellow agencies.

Most of them do, but Paolo doesn't seem to do much besides go to clubs with trashy girls. He has been known to make posts about himself all over the internet for years.
