We are The Models — an agency born from a genuine desire to see real change in the fashion industry. Founded in Australia in January 2018, we bring a fresh, honest attitude by returning to the true meaning of the word agent. We work for our models — not the other way around.
Created by Rebecca Lawrence and Letitia Fitzpatrick, two women with over 40 years combined experience as models and model managers, The Models understands both sides of the industry. We know what it’s like to be in a model’s shoes — and what models truly deserve from their agency.
From the beginning, The Models has been driven by the philosophy:
“By the models. For the models. With the models.”
We are proud to be one of the first agencies in the world to remove model measurements from our website and comp cards, helping redefine industry standards around beauty and representation. We do not charge upfront fees or require workshops before offering representation — we believe talent and individuality speak for themselves.
Our models are our collaborators. Every step of the journey is handled with full transparency and open communication. We provide on-the-job training, because we know firsthand that the best way to learn the industry is by living it. We’ve also eliminated unnecessary expenses — keeping our focus on genuine opportunities, not upselling services.
The Models operates under a strict Client Guarantee: no additional commissions are paid to the agency beyond the standard national 20%. The entire model fee paid by a client goes directly to the talent.
We proudly support The Model Alliance NY and its mission for fairness, health, safety, and transparency in the modeling industry.
An agency run by models, built for models, working with models — always.
