Bree Hannemann's Trip of a Lifetime

Pulse Management model and scout, Bree Hannemann is currently on a trip most people only dream about.  Keep in mind she already lives (with her darling family) in Hawaii, but now she is on a trip for the next six months where they will visit about 10 countries.  We are loving following along with her journey on her instagram, she is currently in Tonga.  Feel free to follow along for more beautiful pictures (she's also a photographer), and updates on her adventures.  Bree, don't forget to scout us some supermodels while you are traveling the world's best beaches!

Our New Star is Stacey!

You all have seen our posts about our models, but it looks like Pulse Management President, Stacey Eastman, is one of our newest superstars!  These pictures are from when he attended the premiere of Inside Amato by Furne One, during fashion week.  We posted about the premiere here, just in case you missed it.  Now we have to get our hands on the video of Stacey's red carpet interview, and you better believe when we do we will post it for you all to see.

We were honored to attend the premiere and support Fashion News Live's Rocco Leo Gaglioti as he screened his film.  We are continually impressed by the red carpet and backstage coverage that Fashion News Live produces, and if you haven't seen it make sure to check it out here.

Teen Vogue #modelmonday featuring Sophia Skloss

Pulse Management model, Sophia Skloss was recently featured in Teen Vogue's #modelmonday compilation.  #modelmonday is a recurring feature on Teen Vogue's instagram, where they show some new faces in the modeling industry that they have requested to see and deem noteworthy.  Seeing our model Sophia Skloss pop up in the slideshow recently was exciting to say the least!

Sophia just wrapped up Milan Fashion Week, and we are looking forward to seeing what she does next.  This girl is on a hot streak right now, and we don't see any signs of it (or her) slowing down!

Side note: You may remember that two of our other models (Georgia Weeks and Hazel Eakman) were featured in #modelmonday as we posted about here.  So clearly, we are huge fans of #modelmonday.

Model Testimonial: Emma Harris

We know that a lot of people who read our blog are people who are interested in beginning their modeling career, and sometimes are a little unsure about how and where to begin.  When we met Emma Harris and her parents in New York City for a Dolls Test Shoot, we had to shoot a video of them because we thought that their perspective and point of view would be helpful for other potential models (and their parents!).

You may remember Emma from our previous posts, and how she was scouted by us twice!  What you may not know about her, that you see in the video, is that she has protective parents (like so many of you do!).  We see so many models with protective parents, and as parents ourselves, we totally understand where they are coming from!  The modeling industry is intimidating and is notoriously wrought with scams and scandals, so when we see skeptical parents we aren't the least bit surprised or phased.  We actually posted this to help people more efficiently research us (and any other companies) online.

What we love about Emma, her parents, and so many other of our models' parents, is that despite their initial worries or hesitations, they do their research and then trust what they see from our actual working models and their parents' testimonials.  It is completely normal to be intimidated or a little afraid before embarking on a new journey like modeling, but our models that have found success are the ones who take the first steps anyway.  They decide trust us to lead them in their careers.

Emma's dad is a detective.  Seriously, he does detective work for his profession, and he found us suitable for his daughter's model management.  So please watch the video and hear from the Harris' in their own words, why they decided to work with Pulse Management.  We would like to thank the Harris family for agreeing to do this testimonial, and for being so awesome! As you see in the video they are fun to have around, and we are so excited to have a working relationship with them, as well as a friendship.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz Kennedy on the Cover of French Revue de Modes

Some major congratulations are in order for our model Liz Kennedy.  She is perfection on the cover of French Revue de Modes issue for Fall/Winter 2015-16.  This is Liz's first magazine cover, and it is a major modeling coup to be on the cover of French.  Models like Cindy Crawford, Coco Rocha, Behati Prinsloo, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Pulse Management discoveries Hannah Holman (two separate times), Ali Stephens (three times), and Hye Rim Park (one time) have all been on the cover of this magazine.  French Revue de Modes is known for choosing models before they become household names, and they are viewed by many as a predictor of the next crop of major models.  

We are not surprised to see Liz on this prestigious cover, we have always thought of her being on the covers of magazines as an eventuality.  That doesn't mean that we aren't over the moon excited for her though! It is so fulfilling to see a model that we scouted, developed and now manage achieving success.  Liz, you look amazing, and this is the first of many covers we will see you on!

Gia Whited for L'Officiel India

These pictures of our model Gia Whited are absolutely incredible.  Not only is her wardrobe amazing, she is sharing the editorial with a real Elephant, and this is only a part of her 12 PAGE editorial.  12 PAGES!  This shoot was for the magazine L'Officiel India, and to see more pictures and read about the shoot click here.  Knowing Gia's personality we can only imagine how much fun she had on set with an elephant!  Congrats on this editorial Gia, we are so proud of you.

NYFW: Sophia Skloss' Whirlwind Week

3.1 Phillip Lim

Our model Sophia Skloss is currently in Milan walking the runways for Milan Fashion Week, but we have to catch you all up on the rest of the shows she walked in for NYFW.  When we met up with Sophia and her mom, she was telling us about finishing one show, and the running through the city to make it on time to the next show, and as you scan through these pictures you can see why she had such a crazy pace.  Sophia was not only walking in a lot of fashion shows, she was walking in some of the biggest shows of the entire season!  Sophia, we can barely keep up with just writing about you, and that makes us so proud!  Keep up the good work in Europe, we will be posting about all of your London shows next week, followed by your bookings in Milan. (Each link with the designers' names will take you to the Vogue review of the show)

Liz Kennedy for Wallpaper Magazine

This editorial is from the October 2015 issue of Wallpaper Magazine.  The editorial is inspired by 90s minimalism, and we think that the hair and makeup on our model Liz Kennedy is minimalist at its best. The editorial was photographed by Lea Colombo, who has also shot for Dazed and Confused, Elle Magazine, and was profiled in W.

Liz was born to be in the pages of magazines, and we are so glad to play a role in getting her there.  With each editorial she gets better, knowing her angles and expressions, and she really has a presence in each page.  We are so proud of you Liz, and we know that there are so many amazing editorials ahead in your future.

Liz Kennedy and Olivia Hamilton in Tokyo

If you aren't following our models Olivia Hamilton and Liz Kennedy on their social media, you are missing out.  (Olivia's instagram, and Liz's instagram) These two BFFs have been posting pictures of their time in Tokyo and it is giving us not only travel envy, but some serious friendship goals!  We are looking forward to seeing pictures from their shoots out there, but in the meantime we are loving seeing these pictures.  Maybe we are biased but we have to say that some of these pictures look like they could be in a magazine, but I guess that's what happens when two models are best friends and the city of Tokyo is their background.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Sophia Skloss for Delpozo

Sophia's first look in the show

Last week while some of the Pulse Management crew was in New York City for Fashion Week, we  had the pleasure to watch our model Sophia Skloss in the Delpozo Spring 2016 Ready-to-wear show. We went to dinner with Sophia and her mom Karin, the night before the show and she was telling us all about how chaotic fashion week had been, but also about how much she was loving it.

It was such a treat getting to watch Sophia walk the runway, especially at a show as beautiful as this one.  One of the things I loved the most about watching this particular show, is that the hair and makeup wasn't over the top, it just allowed the models to look like themselves.  (My front row seat (!!!) also helped me see all of the details of the clothing, bags, and shoes that may have been harder to catch by viewing the pictures online later)

While we were waiting for the show to start we had the opportunity to chat with Sophia's mom, and I have to say how impressed I was with both her and Sophia.  She mentioned that as parents, she and Sophia's dad prioritize Sophia's education and her grades.  When she wanted to go to this NYFW, her dad said she would only be able to go if her grades were at a certain level. So Sophia worked hard and got her grades where they needed to be so she would be able to walk in the shows.  Sometimes being a model looks glamorous (which it can be), but there is also a lot of work that goes into it, including keeping up with your school work, and it shows a lot about Sophia that she is willing to put in the work so she can continue with her career.

Sophia is currently in London walking the runways for London Fashion week, and we will keep you updated on all of her exciting bookings there. In the meantime enjoy these photos and videos that will give you a behind the scenes and up close look at this amazingly beautiful fashion show.
