REPUTABLE AGENCIES ACROSS AMERICA: Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Boston, Washington. (more coming up!)
First stop: Miami.The City of Miami has the reputation for being the 'exotic' location for high-profile photoshoots & catalogues. Aside from the big names, Miami has a number of very successful modeling agencies that provide full management services for models. A wonderful modeling resource Florida-Models.com is one website highly recommended for all models in the Miami area.
Its Chicago!: At the Forefront! If LA has its own 'Fashion Week', Chicago is aiming for one herself and is not far behind in terms of prestige and style. The Milwaukee and Damen neighborhood is said to be one of the best places to explore! That's Isaac Mizrahi for you.
Hey, Atlanta!: Exploring the best of both Worlds Atlanta is one of those rare places where a model (or anyone else for that matter) can feel comfortable, simply because it offers the best of both worlds. "It's a good place for a model to base herself, halfway between New York and Miami..." reported Tearsheet in a special article about the fashion scene of the city.
If you know of an agency, in any of these cities, that has to be listed here, please email us with the details.

 INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT: There is a story behind the Integrity logo, and there is no one better to tell the story than the owner himself, Nurch Norvinger:
His name was Elijah Carpenter. He was only 17 but had mega talent. He was tragically killed 2 years ago just before he was to head for Hollywood. Everything I had hoped for in someone, he had. Although not perfect (we all have flaws), he excelled above most at such an early age.
His parents asked me to speak at his memorial and ever since, I've dedicated what I do to this young man.
