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.
