When
the winners of the ELLE.com/ MODELS.com modelsearch arrived in New
York, the game plan was to take them on a grand tour of all the
New York agencies in the hopes of securing representation. Then
something intriguing happened. Lee and Lana arrived in NY already
signed, and as it is were signed to a fledgling young agency called
Fuel New York, which admittedly hadn't even been on our radar at
the time. But in a testament to the accelerated rate of scouting
that the internet had brought on, this maverick new agency was capable
of a rapid turnaround on a signing that bodes well for its future.
What ensued from that point was an almost textbook case of the two
possibilities that can occur, when a new model arrives in New York.
The first case scenario, which is every agent and models' dream,
is that you start circulating on the market immediately gathering
tests and tears and your first client relationships. The second
is that you get a "redesign and restructuring" so that you hit the
market at the point of peak potential. Tune in as Fuel's managing
partner Jeremy Tick outlines the development plans for Lana Hauser
and Lee Zumdome.
