It was a season in which the most coveted slots were reserved for the comeback kids (Mariacarla Boscono, Isabeli Fontana, Erin Wasson, and new mom Natalia Vodianova). But there were still plenty of fresh faces to see—and challenging names to try not to mispronounce. Here are ten of the most memorable, from Lithuania's Edita Vilkeviciute to Ukraine's Lera Sheremata.


This Utah high school student and track star sprinted onto the runway only a few weeks after getting signed. Following a Prada exclusive, she wrapped up the season with an enviable Paris show list.

Seldom do we visit a website that left us in awe- not just for the stunning imagery it presents but for the simple yet innovative way that it explains itself. If you happen to visit PulseManagement.com, then you will realize just how important it treats its audience. The mere quality of the website is more than enough to convince anyone of the agency's seriousness and zeal as one of the frontrunners in the modeling industry.

But there is more. Pulse Management happens to be the brainchild of Stacey Eastman, one of the industry's most prominent and prolific agent/scout. People in the know described Eastman as a no-nonsense individual who invest his time with his models, maintains close relationships with agencies around the world and provide the leadership and inspiration to his thriving modeling agency.

As the Pulse site declared: "Pulse was created as a management firm, born of twenty years of experience. Wherever you look - Milan, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, our footprints are there."
More than a statement of fact, Pulse simply declared what it's all about and what it is capable of accomplishing.

ModelWatch is especially proud to bring Pulse Management to our viewers, as its latest agency on spotlight.

THE MODELWATCH INTERVIEW WITH STACEY EASTMAN: President and Owner, Pulse Management
-----
MW: I guess you have heard of this before, regarding the reaction of people on the Pulse website. Stunning, we should say, for lack of a better word! Tell us, how did you arrive at the concept for the Pulse agency website? Any particular inspiration?

SE: Yes, actually. I have always been heavily involved in extreme sports- surfing, hang gliding, snowboarding, basically anything I can do to check my 'PULSE' after a major rush. Fashion and marketing mixed with global jet setting and striking the next hot deal reminded me a lot of that life! Hence, Pulse Management was born!

MW: We have heard of this term before 'complete Model Management Company', how does this apply to Pulse?

SE: I left art school early to dive head first into the European industry. I was fortunate to have worked with some of the best who's who of fashion from designers to agents, photographers, make-up artists, producers and so on.

We also saw a lot of crap, though! So I decided to hang up my hat booking and shooting and to literally take personal care of a select few that have the maximum capabilities.

Stacey Eastman, on a trip to Maui, in the Hawaiian islands, making sure that there's adrenaline rush in everything he do.

To make sure the entire world does what it says it's going to for them. We handle our client from start to finish and beyond! I have flown around the world with a client and her mom simply because they were new and didn't want to be alone. We are a conduit for the individual, found either by ourselves or coming to us via our reputation, to the global power players. We are humble yet confident, small yet globally recognized. Basically we take care of the client from start to finish and make sure the world does as well.

MW: People have mentioned the fact that you started out in another city (is it Salt Lake City?), that your change of location is a strategic response to the growth of the agency, could you enlighten us on this issue? Perhaps, we could also learn more of the agency's history?

The sunset at Pulse Management's office in San Diego. We'll let the picture speak for itself...

SE: As said before, started in Europe. From there to NYC, LA, then SLC. Why SLC? My brother found huge amounts of film productions there due to amazing locations and the Sundance Film Festival. So he handled film and I found some of the most amazing faces on earth there! After all this is where I met my wife.

Not to mention it is a killer outdoor playground! Slickest snow on earth and the hang gliding! We moved back to southern Cali because the surf (little hard to do in SLC) and to be close to all of my family. Our business has always had a uniqueness about it, not to mention global staying power due to our past travels and experiences. But we have been blessed! After retuning home to San Diego, we have grown the company into Arizona, Las Vegas, and Portland. Next Seattle, Hawaiian Islands!...who knows? The world! Yes to expand beyond our wildest dreams. We also have now partnerships in NYC, Paris, Milan and London.

MW: For the past 20 years of representing models and dealing with the Fashion industry, what would you consider some of the most lasting impressions you have of models, modeling and fashion in general?

SE: For sure is seeing what this industry can and has done for so many hopefuls. I have seen kids have more than their dreams come true!

I have seen them raise their GPA and be able to afford to get into some of the best higher learning institutions in the world. Speak four to five different languages. See other cultures and customs they would have never been able to see in ten lifetimes.

MW: Describe your 'model ideal' what should she/he look like? On a related question, what qualities are essential before you take in a model?

SE: There is no ideal look. You have to be creative to see it. Number one quality for us is personality. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more critical.

MW: In particular, what are the qualities you look for a male model?

SE: I don't know how to tell you. When I feel it I feel it. Sometimes I am wrong but not often. It is either a curse or a blessing. PERSONALITY again. No rock stars!

MW: On a more personal note, what's your definition of fashion? What is it all about? How do you describe your 'personal style'?

SE: Whatever someone is comfortable in, just make it slam. It should always speak! FASHION SPEAKS! My own personal?...wow dude. I am a serious chameleon. I will go from the boots country Ralph Lauren to Armani, Hugo Boss to the surfer Hurley & Vans all in one day. It's what you feel and no one should be able to tell you otherwise. So Joan Rivers, what's up?

DAN KILPATRICK: Rockin the Scene!

Pulse Management's latest sensation is on the Details December 2003 issue, yeah, he's that guy on the frontpage!

Says Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman: "Hold up! We must give it up for a kid named Dan Kilpatrick. Found him five months ago working around ASU in a campus record store (no, not CDs). This kid is the next hottest thing. Steven Misel just shot for Italian Vogue. He just shot December's issue of Details featuring Tom Cruise. He is booked for Dior in Paris, Jill Sander, Prada, and on hold for Calvin Klein. Did Marc Jacobs show.

Heck! he did nine out of the fifteen men's shows last season in NYC! More than any veteran out there. He's off to London, Paris, Italy and then to return to NYC for this next men's fashion season.

MW: Tell us some stories, success stories of some of your top male models?

SE: (Okay, but only if you tell this story in its entirety! It will blow your mind!) I must say there is one instance that takes the cake and that is a guy named Dustin Olander who was found by Vikki Leza, one of my top directors.

My wife and I had tickets to the David Bowie/Moby/Blue Man Group concert in Irvine but couldn't go because my wife had just given birth to our first child- a daughter!!! (For sure in daddy's eyes 24/7! And yes, if she wants, we will manage her as well. After all you should see my wife!)

Anyways back to Dustin. So I sent Vikki kicking and screaming in my wake. It wasn't her scene so she decided to look around at all the interesting people. Slam! There he was- full-sleeved tattoos with jet-black hair. Others would have passed him right by, but not how I train my scouts and directors. So she talked with him then called me.

Jetsetter and Pulse Management President Stacey Eastman shown with his wife: The couple on a cruise.

Knowing I like a challenge, she said she found this punk rock kid who builds pools in Orange County, doesn't have a dime to his name and may even need a ride to meet me, but he was amazing! When we met, we just rapped about Bowie and other things. I dug this kid immediately!

We set up a shoot and pounded the globe with his images. To all of our shock, no one, and I mean no one, felt the same. We kept the faith. Sent him to London where the fashion is a little harsher. Sent him to Italy, Paris, Germany: zero interest.
They all shot him down. And I am talking the best of the best. Sent him back to London where he had his last dime stolen from him.

So we arranged for him to go to NYC. Blasted him to everyone and: bad news. All said he wasn't what they were looking for. He called me thinking nice try but we were wrong about him. I told him I had way too much faith and that the industry just doesn't know what they want yet. All the while, trying not to let on how freaked out I was about feeling so strongly with nothing happening.

He agreed to stay in NYC and get a job, but only if we nailed something quick. Three days later- boom! One of my old mentors in Italy had just gotten back from vacation, saw my e-mail, and flipped out. Shortly thereafter he was on a plane bound for Italy. He opened the runway show for Dior. Prada, Gucci all where taking notice. Steven Klein (one of the top photographers in the world) called asking for Dustin to shoot Italian Vogue with Naomi Campbell. Dustin had no idea who Naomi was.

Three days after that, the fashion editor of American Vogue called to book him. Steven Klein called again, and hold on to your pants: wanted to know if Dustin would be cool shooting with DAVID BOWIE! Dustin talked, broke bread and on and on with Bowie. Dustin left the next morning for Paris runway show.

Then Bowie dug him so much that he requested Dustin to shoot with him again. He was on the red eye out of Paris back to NYC. Dreams do become true! Have faith no matter the adversity! It may not always look the way you want! But it will and can happen!

Hold up! We must give it up for a kid named Dan Kilpatrick. Found him five months ago working around ASU in a campus record store (no, not CDs). This kid is the next hottest thing. Steven Meisel just shot for Italian Vogue. He just shot December's issue of Details featuring Tom Cruise.
He is booked for Dior in Paris, Jill Sander, Prada, and on hold for Calvin Klein. Did Marc Jacobs show. Heck, he did nine out of the fifteen men's shows last season in NYC! More than any veteran out there.

He's off to London, Paris, Italy and then to return to NYC for this next men's fashion season. Watch out boys! this kid is going to be it!

MAKING WAVES: Dustin and what its like being with Pulse Management-
A lot of them out there do not seem to really know what they are looking for. I was turned down by every major company there was. They all said "too this" or "too that".


I guess they are all pretty cool. You just have to have somebody that really knows what they are doing. Being managed by Pulse, they have worked their ass off and believed in me when the entire world did not. Every one of those major players have come full circle and tried to either negotiate or snag me for representation.

I am still with Pulse and will never leave.

Lastly Karen Kay, Katelynn Reeves, Marty Alred, Dana Wess. The list keeps goin! Our girls ROCK!

The people responsible for making Pulse to what it is today- the agency's staff just behind the surf of San Diego.

MW: Who are the agency's new faces? Who are these guys you believed will soon 'rock' the modeling world?

SE: Anyone under the new faces section is a new face. The ones to watch are under the management section?..sorry don't mean to be a $%^&, but we are simple like that. What ya see is what ya get! If it isn't there today, check your 'Pulse' tomorrow because we are never done looking.

MW: We constantly asked for the 'next look', the 'faces of the future', is there a way to determine which way the Fashion industry will go in promoting the look for the coming season?

SE: The great thing about fashion is how rapidly it changes. Here today, gone tomorrow! If we had a crystal ball, we'd be making even more bank. The best way to describe it is like surfing. Wait and watch, get ready and paddle when it goes BIG!
MW: How important is maintaining relationships with agencies around the world. In particular, what have been some of your experiences when dealing with agencies in Milan, Paris, London and New York?

SE: It is the most important aspect. With time zone differences, people jumping from one company to another, don't have time to sleep. This is a very creative industry and if the grass is greener- people are on the move 24/7. A lot can be made but only through the respect of relationships you obtain. EGO is the number one problem! But so it is with life as well. Bottom line when not with my family I live on a plane!

MW: Future plans?

SE: For another day, just know it is happening and it will be BIG for that is how we live our lives!

Why Not?

In The Press

Happy New Year! We hope you all had an incredibly peaceful holiday season and are ready to rock it in this upcoming year!

This is it…our first official E-mail Newsletter! Previously we kept simple model updates on our website, but at our talent’s demand we are now sending it directly to you. You will receive this newsletter at least every quarter to keep you updated on special events and to celebrate those who have kept the faith and worked hard to succeed in this risky business!

VIBE @ Pulse Management

The Management Board at Pulse has and will continue to focus on the global aspects of the talent’s careers working with the top designers, editorial and catalog magazines available. To better serve you, we have opened a new division called VIBE @ Pulse Management which is designed to utilize local venues to jump start the careers of new talent by using advertising firms, motion picture projects, fashion shows and print work available in their local markets.

Under my direction, Brett and Sherri Vance will be handling VIBE. They have my complete trust and belief that they will be providing a greater platform for you to begin your careers. Keep on the lookout for a letter specifically from them detailing their objectives.

Just a side note… Scouts and Directors have spent many hours working on your behalf…endless hours at malls and concerts, phone calls, e-mails, not to mention many prayers! They do not get paid until you rise to your potential. Please be so kind as to pass on your thanks to them for the work they have done for you personally.

The Management Board: A Force to be Reckoned With!

We are in more markets than ever! Texas and Idaho have been added to our crazy schedule. Ronda from Austin has been a major player in this growth. We love those Texas girls.......oh yeah….and three boys! Idaho has been slow to go, but they are kind of behind the times aren’t they? Even so, we have found some great new talent there as well. Arizona and California are always good markets. We just opened Oregon a year ago and have been blown away with the natural beauty in the scenery as well as the girls! Utah always takes the cake though with the sheer number of beautiful and talented individuals!

Our many other global partners and alliances are stronger than ever! Beyond the gracious Tokyo market, we have just blown into two other emerging markets in the Asian world that are proving to be massive strong holds: Bangkok and Singapore. Soon to come…Shanghai.
Our European stronghold is unmatched. My European marketing tour for Paris, Milan, London, Spain, and Germany for all of you will come in early spring for the late spring and summer contracts! The list of those contracts will come in the next newsletter. Hit that treadmill!

The end of 2004 was an epic placement year for Pulse and those that have entrusted us with their career! The following is a list of those who landed contracts during our last marketing trip to NY 12/19/04. You thought waiting was tough? Be careful what you ask for! Welcome to the big leagues! It gets even tougher from here! (As a matter of a fact some of you may actually find this out for the first time from this letter. No worries…Stacey will be calling you with details.)

Chelsea Hursley, in particular, is on her way to being a SUPER STAR! She has been with us two months and has read for a part in a major motion picture and more importantly just nailed two massive contracts: NY/Paris/Italy with our partner Woman Mgmt (mind you one of the very most powerful leaders in the entire fashion freaking world) and with our Hollywood partners, Smashbox. Can’t wait to see what else

Trump Model Management and “The Apprentice”

Trump Model Management is owned by Donald Trump and is one of our many partners. I had my fifteen minutes of fame as I was the only manager and/or agent in the entire fashion world to appear on “The Apprentice” outside of his own company. I was flown in, wined and dined….well, watered and dined is more like it! There are only a few of us in the industry who don’t drink, but the 9.2 billion dollar man himself does not drink either! You can view the 6th episode by logging on to…. WWW.APPRENTICE@YAHOO.COM I didn’t even tell my own wife who won that contest because of the 5 million dollar contract I had to sign.

I just spent two more days with Trump right before Christmas. We have some pretty massive things planned with him for 2005! If I told you now I would have to kill ya so stay tuned!

The following is a short homage to some of the more notable works by our talent and your peers from just the past few months. Forgive me if I forget your job….I am just going off the top of my head and have way too many to remember!!!!!

DUSTIN OLANDER:- Has shot with Naomi Campbell, Stephen Meisel, David Bowie, Steven Klein, and just shot another 8-page editorial Dec. 28th-30th! Freaken rock star! Just signed with Boss men…the male super model agency in NYC, S. Africa, and London.

HYE RIM PARK: First season did 9 shows including the largest designer at LA fashion week! More than any new girl from anywhere! Just signed with Trump and had requests from Cosmo and Vogue her first week. She is going back to NYC for the BIG SHOWS in Bryant Park. Watch for her to become the next biggest Asian model of the year!


ANN POLL: Had bounced around from agency to agency. Immediately upon signing with us, she landed her first speaking part in a major motion picture and is up for another one! If she would ever leave Utah, she could be a top surf model.

BEN STEPHENSON: Just nailed exclusive contract with Why Not in Italy and Bananas in Paris which are two of the most powerful men’s high fashion companies in the world. He is headed for the Italian shows.

CURTIS RUMMEL: A&F, Vogue….think of it and the Utah kid is doing it! We switched his contract from one company to DNA in NY and he is blowing it out. On his way to the Italian shows as well.

DAN KILPATRICK: Just nailed a $30,000 contract for Japan for 6 weeks. He’s #9 on the list of male supermodels! ( HE IS AS WELL CK ONES NEW MODEL FOR ALL PRINT AND TV)

HELLE GRIMMER AND DAUGHTER ANNA!: Just signed this stunning duo. She is only 11 yrs old! Watch for her this year! (THE FEARSEST MOTHER AND DAUGHTER TEAM IN THE WORLD!)


JULIANA: Just signed with Boss Models and they are blowing her bigger than life…literally! Here’s her billboard in NYC, S. Africa and London. They are rolling all of their dice with her.

YES THAT IS ME! IN THE OFFICE OF BOSS MODELS NYC! YA THINK THEY KIND OF LIKE OUR GIRL?

There are so….sooo….soooo many more! Again, if I neglected to mention you this time, don’t hate me! I’ll get ya next time. You know I love you! (And I know I’ll be hearing about it.) You can always visit our website at www.pulsemanagement.com to see the newest MAGAZINE COVERS, JOBS and images.

Keep the faith! Keep the love! Just tell the skeptics, jealous high school friends, and neighbors who wish their kid could do it….”Bite Me!” Your dreams can become reality!

Wait until you see what I do with you and some of your kids this next season! I AM GOING TO BLOW SOME OF YA ALL AWAY!
God bless and always my best to you,

Thanks,
