Happy Birthday Viktoria

We would like to wish our model Viktoria Lien a very happy birthday!  Just like a normal teenager she celebrated her sweet 16th birthday yesterday blowing out her candles. Unlike a normal teenager, she celebrated while at New York Fashion week and surrounded by her friends at the Wilhemina office. We realize that being a model sometimes means your normal life is interrupted, and that's why we are so happy to see these pictures.  We love that the Wihemina staff recognized and celebrated Viktoria's birthday with her, especially in the midst of Fashion Week.

Viktoria, you are one talented young woman, and we couldn't be happier to have you as a part of our Pulse Management family!

Throwback Thursday: Guess Who?

It may be the start of Fashion Week, but that doesn't mean we are going to forget about our Throwback Thursday post this week!  Check out this blonde little cutie pie.  Can you believe that she grows up into the stunning model pictured below? Actually we can, that profile is perfect at any age.  We discovered Charlee Pilon in her home state of Washington and we waited patiently (and sometimes impatiently) while she finished up high school until really launching her career.  She is currently in New York city, and we can't wait to see what she does during fashion week. Don't worry we will keep you all posted.

Armon's Gearing Up for Paris Fashion Week

Buckle up everyone because today marks the kickoff of the beginning of New York Fashion Week.  Click here to see the post we did about Fashion Week and the schedules for the various ones coming up this month.  Basically it should be called Fashion Month, because September is when fashion's elite travel all over the world to see what the top designers have created.  It is an exciting and sometimes exhausting time for all involved.  We have these models in New York ready for the shows, and we can't wait to report back to you what they have been cast in.

Now, onto Armon!  These pictures are the front and back sides of Armon's Paris Fashion Week card, and we LOVE it.  The front shows Armon the amazing model, and the backside shows all the rest of the hilarious sides of Armon's personality.  While in Paris, Armon is signed with our Partner City Model Management.  It won't be very long until we can post about what he's up to for Paris Fashion Week, so stay tuned everyone!

BREAKING NEWS: Liz on MODELS.COM

You guys are all familiar with Models.com right?  If not, you should familiarize yourself with the site, it is pretty much all you need to know about what's going on with your favorite models in one site.  Our good friend Wayne Sterling created Models.com, and it has turned into pretty much the Bible of the industry.

We couldn't be happier that models.com featured Liz Kennedy, as one half of their daily duo.  The daily duo feature basically showcases up and coming models as "ones to watch".  For Liz to be selected as one of the Daily Duo during fashion week, is huge.  To see the entire post about Liz click here.  In the meantime, we'll share with you our favorite quote from the post:

"This girl’s quiet, contemplative beauty is serene yet very strong – her unwavering gaze stirs up a symphony of emotions. Liz’s look is almost a rhapsody! Having worked in Tokyo for two months, where she gained experience and confidence, Liz is now ready to take on New York and then the world."

Liz has now been named by WWD and Models.com as an up and coming model, and we have to agree.  We are thrilled the rest of the industry sees in her what we do!

Pulse Management Introduces: Madison and McKenna Witt

To say that we had a good weekend at the Dolls House in Hollywood, would be putting it mildly.  We have plenty of pics to share with you in the next few days, but we wanted to start by introducing you to Madison and McKenna Witt.  If you are follow Sand Volleyball, you probably already know this duo.  They are amongst the best beach volleyball teams in the country right now.

Judging from the previews we have see from their Dolls Model Management test shoot this weekend, volleyball won't be the only thing these two are known for soon.  Look out fashion world, the Witt twins are about to conquer you with the same tenacity they bring to the sand for their volleyball matches! Welcome to the Pulse Management team ladies, we think you are going to love it here.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Ali Stephens for Chloe

Happy Labor day everyone!  Hopefully your day's plans include some relaxation while reading a fashion magazine.  Or maybe that's just my plans for today...

For today's Major Moment Monday, we are going back to the Spring/Summer 08 fashion season, when Pulse Management discovery, Ali Stephens, made a major coup.  She landed the ad campaign for Chloe (the French Fashion Powerhouse), which solidified her status as a serious model to watch.  We had just launched Ali, right after finding her at the mall in her hometown of Salt Lake City, and her career took off on a trajectory like we rarely see.  You don't have to take my word for it though, look at the writeup models.com did about Ali's Chloe campaign here. (It is brief, but says all the words a new model wants to read about herself!)

Ali has continued to enjoy a successful career, and we are proud to be the ones who discovered this incredible model.
