Elite Model Management: Holy grail of modeling agencies
If there is a holy grail of modeling agencies, Elite Model Management should get the coveted title. They have been in the modeling industry for more than 30 years now, even earlier than when I was born!
In 1972, the modeling world was given John Casablancas and Alain Kittler – founders of Elite Model Management. And the rest, as they say, is history.
The Making of a Supermodel
The Elite Model Management even had their own reality TV show way before any other reality modeling TV shows aired. Imagine watching, “The Making of a Supermodel” and seeing all those girls who used to be ordinary be transformed into that year’s version of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Finding their diamonds in the rough
It’s a dog eat dog world out there. I can’t really blame them, we all know modeling is fun and it has a million perks. But at the same time, it’s tough and it’s hard work. It takes discipline and a lot of confidence, a whole lot. But we all know that’s what you need to achieve your goals and dreams, right? So how exactly does Elite Model Management find their diamonds?
The modeling agency scouts their talent by holding their own modeling contest, the Elite Model Look. It was called Look of the Year until 1994, and they changed it to what it is known now.
