Where in the World are Our Models?

Maddie West, Hazel Reynolds, Hailee Etter, and Emma Harris at the Fusion Office in New York

We are just counting our blessings at Pulse Management these days, because not only are our models working all over the globe, they are making friends with each other while doing it!  With social media these days we get a much better look into what our models are doing in their off time, and we are happy to see they are having a ball.  Modeling can be isolating, so making friends in the industry that can relate to what you are going through is crucial.  Keep the updates coming ladies, we are loving seeing what you are all up to!

And She's Off!

Ashland Wendlandt, one of our newer models, just started her journey in Japan.  We sent her there on a contract that will both help her build her book, and gain a lot of experience in front of the camera.  Her mom, Jen, is along for the adventure.  We are looking forward to seeing a lot more pictures of Ashland's time in Tokyo, and we will keep you updated on her modeling out there.

Liz Kennedy for Spur Magazine

Remember when we posted this about Liz Kennedy's amazing first NYFW?  Well before she hit the runways, she was working overseas in Japan.  We sent her to Japan so she would get some experience in front of the camera, and added to her bank account.  (For more about models and their finances, click here)  We love these photos from her editorial in Spur Magazine.  Spur is a Japanese publication, and we have been so impressed by the quality of the editorials we have seen out of Japan lately.  The styling, photography, and art direction are on par with the other top fashion capitals in the world.  We definitely saw Liz's confidence and overall modeling skills improve through her pictures, and we think that her time in Japan was time well spent!

Liz Kennedy for Ruby Rivet

We are pouring over these images of Liz Kennedy for Ruby Rivet.  She is one of the models in their Spring/Summer 2014 Catalogue, and we love everything about them.  The concept is perfect for these clothes, and Liz looks amazing in everything, as usual.  Liz was definitely kept busy on her last trip to Asia, and wait until you see how busy she is on her next trip to NYC.  Mark our words, this girl is going to be one of the models everyone is talking about during September Fashion week.  Not too bad for a girl we found in Minnesota!

Liz STUNS in Elle Japan

I have to give our girl, Liz Kennedy, a HUGE congrats because she did something I have not witnessed before.  After seeing this picture Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, emailed me that he was left speechless.  Now anyone who knows Stacey, knows this is a huge accomplishment.  This picture of Liz, wearing Valentino, ran recently in Elle Japan.  It amazes me that Liz has only been with us for a few months, but her images look like pics of a seasoned pro.  This girl is going to be one of the biggest models in the industry, trust us on that one.

Olivia Hamilton in Spur Magazine

We are loving these tear sheets of our model, Olivia Hamilton, from Spur Magazine.  This editorial was for a Jill Stuart feature, and we think that these clothes look like they were made for Olivia.  The spread ran in the January 2014 issue of Spur.  These photos were taken on her last trip to Japan.  Her trip proved so successful that Olivia headed back to Tokyo about a week ago, and has been working non-stop since she landed.  Tokyo is a long way from her Colorado hometown, but with the way Olivia has been working there lately, we bet she it is starting to feel like her home away from home!

Olivia WORKED Japan

We had to repost this picture from Olivia Hamilton's instagram, because it's too awesome not to!  We arranged for Olivia to go to Tokyo for 10 weeks, and in that time she booked and completed a total of 41 jobs.  In the above photo she is holding all of her daily job detail sheets.  She picked them up every evening after her castings, and they listed the work she had in store for the next day.  Out of her 41 jobs, she had 10 major editorials, and 10 fashion shows.  We had high hopes for Olivia's time in Japan, but she exceeded them!  Kick back and relax a little bit over the holidays Olivia, you deserve it.  We are looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us in 2014!

Olivia Hamilton on the Runway in Japan

Olivia Hamilton is continuing her streak of great bookings while in Japan.  These pictures are from her walking the runway for the Hiromichi Takano show.  Takano is one of the biggest names in Japanese fashion, as detailed in this article.  Olivia is definitely making her mark while modeling in Japan, and she and her mom Leslie are having the adventure of a lifetime together over there.  We can't wait to see what this beauty from Colorado has up next.  Don't worry, we will keep you posted.

Olivia Hamilton in Spur Magazine

Olivia Hamilton has been a busy girl while in Japan.  These beautiful photos are from an editorial in Spur Magazine, and she is decked out in Ralph Lauren clothing.  Olivia, you are far from your home in Colorado, but it looks like you are doing just fine in Japan.  We are glad you and your mom are having an amazing time.  For more information about how Olivia started modeling with us, click here.
