What does W Model Management do?

W Model Management is an international model management company that represents and places top models in the major fashion markets. The markets we work in include; New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Bruxelles, Brazil, Toronto, Athens, and Hamburg amongst other locations.

We also line our models up with direct bookings in secondary markets such as; Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and job locations like the Caribbean and Mexico.

What do you look for in new models?

Because of the demands of managing models internationally, we only represent a very select number of models. Our models must meet the height requirements of 5\'9\" for women (5\'7\" and 5\'8\" is ok if you are young and still growing), and 6\'0\" for men, although there are rare exceptions. Models must be between the ages of 13-25. We look for models who are able to travel to the markets we work in, as well as available on shorter notice for direct bookings.

If you have submitted photos to us for possible representation, we will get back to you if we feel there is a need for you in our agency. If you don\'t hear back from us, don\'t be discouraged your look may just not be a good fit for our agency and you should feel free to submit your photos to us again in 6 months.

W CEO: Evan Walker

Evan Walker- model, entrepreneur, visionary, and life adventurer.

I live my life to the extreme in everything I do. If Im not working my guts out, I am playing just as hard. I have a lot of passion for everything I do, and thats why I do it. I believe having fun is a key ingredient of success. If your not enjoying what you do, you wont be successful at it- thats a simple fact that many dont follow.

-Evan Walker

Bio:

The founder and CEO of W started his adventure into the world of business at the age of 15 with the web based business Netsoft. The company caught fire and did about $100,000 in sales the first year, and became a multi-million dollar company within 3 years. With a bit of foresight ( and a lot of luck he says) he sold the internet based business 6 months before the dot com crash in March of 2000 at the age of 19. After graduating early from high school and with one successful business under his belt, Evan decided it was time for the next adventure. He was scouted by a local modeling agency at the age of 16 and was signed by two of the largest agencies out of Milan . Having the opportunity to model for a few years, Evan wanted to mold his passion for modeling and business together. He opened W Models in October 2002, and with his experience and connections, helped models get placed around the globe with the worlds largest modeling agencies. A year later, Evan decided to make W Models a full service modeling agency and held its grand opening of the new Salt Lake office. Evan was about to change the Utah entertainment industry forever. W Models expanded quickly, flying in the biggest named agents, photographers, stylists, and casting directors in the modeling industry. W Models, renamed to W Talent, now represents over 400 of Utahs top models, actors, musicians, and dancers. Evans primary role in W is working with the worlds top agencies and top models in developing them and negotiating contracts with major agencies and clients. He is also very involved in marketing, building the brand and image of W, spotting new trends, growing the company, and doing PR. Evans persona is that of a next generation CEO whos untraditional approach to business is more rockstar than suit and tie businessman.
