New Photos of Alexandra Romney

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

These photos of our model, Alexandra Romney, are some of our new favorites of her. They are from a shoot that Alex did with photographer, Ryan Hattaway, while she was working in Miami. I love the difference of style between the photos, and the fact that these photos could be relevant in any decade, giving them a timeless look. While in Miami, Alex was working with MC2 and judging by these photos her time there was well spent.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hazel Eakman for Kenneth Ning

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Hazel Eakman had quite a week last week during NYFWM 2016. We posted on Friday about her in the Cadet show, and today we have the photos from when she was in the Kenneth Ning show. First of all the hair and makeup could not be more perfect. In fact, Janice Marino (the makeup artist who worked on Hazel for the show) might have don't the most perfect smokey, but not too smokey, eye that I have seen in a long time. Of course the look probably wouldn't look nearly as good on anyone but our stunning Hazel, but that's beside the point. This show was for New York Fashion Week Men, but we think our girl Hazel stole the show!

Hazel Eakman for Cadet

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

New York Fashion Week: Men's Fall/Winter 16/17 is going on, and our model Hazel Eakman has been busy! She walked in the show for Cadet, who was a CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist last year, so designers don't get more up-and-coming than that. Judging from these photos Hazel held her own among the men on the runway. Walking any runway is can be intimidating, let along walking one during NYFWM. Great work Hazel, we are so proud of you!

Mia Speicher by Timothy Rosado

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

They meet again! If you remember our introduction post for Mia, we shared not only her polaroids and an interview with her, we showed you the photos of her first test shoot ever, with Timothy Rosado. Since her first shoot with Timothy, Mia has worked in Miami, and now she is back in New York for more. She and Timothy were able to collaborate again, and we love seeing the difference between the photos only taken a few months apart. Mia is looking more confident as a model, and we think that Timothy is bringing out the best in her. Is it too early to be crossing our fingers for round three of this pair together?

Ava Becker Back in NYC!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Our model Ava Becker, recently returned to New York City. She was in New York over the summer for a test shoot with us, and we were able to bring her back to the city last week for some meetings and hopefully more exciting things we can share with you soon. Ava traveled to NYC with her dad, and the fact that we were able to provide the two of them with an opportunity to travel and bond together is just icing on the cake! We think 2016 is going to be a great year for you Ava, and we can't wait to be a part of it.

Olivia Hamilton for Elle UK

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 18:38:00 +0000

There are few words that can explain how happy we are to share this with you. Our model, Olivia Hamilton, has a 14 page spread in Elle UK in the March 2016 issue. 14 pages. Elle UK. Olivia Hamilton. This is such a major booking for Olivia, and while we are not surprised to see her looking so amazing in these pages, we are so proud of her. With Liz walking for Dolce and Gabbana, and now her BFF Olivia's Elle editorial, this week is turning out to be one for the books for our Pulse girls.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz Kennedy for Dolce and Gabbana

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:00:00 +0000

The other day, our model Liz Kennedy, posted an airport selfie where she mentioned she was Italy bound with "poofy" hair, that I'm assuming is leftover from a photoshoot. The airport coif-caused embarrassment was worth it though, because in Italy she walked in the latest Dolce and Gabbana Haute Couture show in Milan. For those of you keeping track this is the second time Liz has walked a runway for Dolce and Gabbana and we are beside ourselves with excitement! Congrats Liz, this is a huge accomplishment and we couldn't be more proud of you.

Stacey's Red Carpet Interview at the Inside Amato Premiere

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

While we were in New York for Fashion Week in September, we were invited to attend the premiere of Rocco Leo Gaglioti's film Inside Amato by Furne One. (In case you missed it we posted about our night at the premiere here) Stacey was interviewed on the red carpet, and in the above compilation of the red carpet interviews you can see our Stacey starting at 0:13. Way to represent Pulse Stacey, and we think you should be interviewed on Red Carpets more often!

20 Questions with Madison Moehling

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

We've said it a million times, but we love our models so much. They obviously look amazing in photographs, but there is so much more to each of these individuals, and we want you to be able to learn more about them. Our model Madison Moehling, who happens to be working in Manhattan currently, recently sat down with us for a little Q&A that we think you are going to love. So make sure you press play, and Madison hopefully someday you book your Vogue cover and it shoots in Brazil. (That will make sense if you've watched the video)

Hazel in Columbia!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Our model Hazel Eakman is in New York city right now, in the midst of the blizzard, and wishing she were back in Columbia. Hazel recently booked the advertising campaign for Seven Seven and we loved all of the behind the scenes pics she posted on her instagram while she was in Columbia. To think that last winter Hazel was a high school senior in Minnesota, and this year she lives in New York and was jetting down to Columbia for a job is pretty amazing. (And not just any job, one complete with drone photography!) We are loving taking this adventure with you Hazel, and can't wait to see the final images for this campaign.

Olivia's Back!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

This may be old news, but we failed to mention that Olivia Hamilton is back in New York, kicking you know what, and taking names! This bombshell never ceases to amaze us with her determination, and how hardworking she is. She graduated High School early, travels the world, eats healthy, exercises regularly, and basically approaches life with the maturity of someone twice her age. Sometimes we forget she is still a teenager, until she posts a silly selfie or in this case a video of her and Liz Kennedy in the middle of a face mask. We love those two together, and we are so grateful to have them as a part of our Pulse Management team.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Liz and Hannah for Warehouse

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

We can't think of a better way to kick off our week, than by sharing this photo with you. Liz Kennedy and Hannah Holman, two Pulse Management discoveries, are starring in the Warehouse SS 2016 Campaign. We scouted Liz in Minnesota, Hannah in Utah, and the two of them shot this campaign in the UK (we posted about it here). We are so proud of both of them, and the careers they both are working so hard for. Liz and Hannah are two models that we knew right away had such potential and we are so glad they both signed with us! Launching their respective careers have been some of the high points in our career as model management, and we absolutely love seeing them in this campaign together!

Mia Speicher is Back in NYC

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Our models are arriving in New York by the droves these days, and we are loving it. You may remember our model Mia Speicher from these posts. She and her mom recently arrived in New York and they have been a busy pair. Mia had her hair cut, colored, and she has been busy at test shoots. We love these behind the scenes pictures that they sent us. It is always fun to see pictures of what it looks like when the crew is trying to get the finished shots, and then compare them with the final photos. Keep up the good work Mia, we are looking forward to seeing all that you accomplish this trip!

Liz is Back in NYC

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:28:00 +0000

This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I'm not sure what happened to it! We don't want to miss out on posting about our model Liz Kennedy and how much we appreciate her. She is back in New York City after some much deserved time off, including her trip to Disney with Olivia Hamilton.

We are so grateful that our scout found Liz, and that she signed with us and trusted us with her career. What makes Liz such an amazing model is not only her incomparable beauty, but her willingness to work hard, and her ambition to continually better herself. We know that these attributes will take her far in her modeling career and in her life. We love you Liz, and we are excited to see what this trip to New York has in store for you.

Interview with Lilli Junge

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:14:00 +0000

We know that a lot of you who read this blog are either potential models, or their parents who are trying to learn a little bit more about us. We are posting these videos for you to see a little bit more about who some of our models are and how they have felt on their journeys so far. We also want you all to get to know our models a little bit better, because we think they have such fun personalities to go along with their beautiful exteriors.

We are so glad that Lilli and her mom came out to New York city for their test shoot, and we loved seeing the bonding experience that happens between these mothers and daughters. Not only did Lilli have her first test shoot, she and her mom explored the city, and caught a broadway show. We're glad you enjoyed New York Lilli, because we see potential in you that could have you spending a lot of time there in the future.

Brook Swanson Video Interview

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

You may remember when we introduced you to Brook Swanson here. Brook is one of our newest models, and we are so happy that our scout found her, and then she decided to sign with us. Brook and her mom came out to New York City for their her test shoot with Timothy Rosado. The images turned out even better than we had hoped, and we loved having a little bit of time to get to know Brook and her mom better. As you can see in the above video they are both amazing people, and we are looking forward to a long working relationship with them both.

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Georgia Weeks for Bisous Magazine

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Georgia Weeks' most recent work is curing our Monday blues! This editorial from Bisous Magazine and it is some of Georgia's best work yet. Georgia's eyebrows have always been amazing, but in this shoot her cheekbones may be stealing the show, and that's saying a lot because the wardrobe in this editorial is incredible. Congrats Georgia, these photos are absolutely beautiful.

Rachel Cook is as Gorgeous as Ever!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Photo by Robert Voltaire

Rachel Cook is a model we discovered in her hometown of Seattle more than five years ago. Since we launched her career she has worked in Asia, Italy, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and that's just scratching the surface. Rachel has booked major editorials, cosmetics campaigns, and it is very impressive (but not surprising) that she is still working now. She recently posted some behind the scenes photos from a shoot she did for PacSun and she looks as amazing as ever. With behind the scenes photos like these, I can wait to see the final images!

Olivia and Liz Take Over Disney World!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Soon our models Olivia Hamilton and Liz Kennedy are going to be in New York getting ready for fashion week, but right now they are living it up at Disney World! These two hit it off when they both were first starting their careers, and we sent them to Tokyo together. They became fast friends, and have since modeled all over the world together. They spent a summer in London, an autumn in Asia, and have been roommates in NYC. We love seeing them spending time together even when they aren't working. These two work hard, and they deserve a little downtime, and what better place that Disney World?!

Model Life: Advice from A Major Casting Director

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Models.com recently ran an enlightening interview with casting director, John Pfeiffer. In the article Pfeiffer details how his career began, and what it is like casting models for some of the biggest clients in the fashion industry (Victoria's Secret and Michael Kors are two of his many clients). We like to use our blog as a way to educate our current and potential models about the modeling industry, and we think that this article will be very helpful for anyone who is wanting to be a model. A casting director can make or break a model's career, because in Pfeiffer's words:

"My job and I think the job of a casting director is that of a first set of eyes, and of an editor, because the client can’t see all those girls."

A good casting director knows what his/her clients are looking for, and they see sometimes hundreds of models to bring their clients the right model for the job. If you have time to read the entire article, I highly recommend it because it helps you realize what is going on in the head of the people on the other side of the casting tables. I especially liked the part when Pfeiffer gave the following advice to models:

"Do your research and be educated and know as much as you can about where you’re going and who you are seeing and what you’re doing."

MAJOR MOMENT MONDAY: Hannah Holman for Sonia Rykiel

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Happy Major Moment Monday everyone! Today we are looking back to the Sonia by Sonia Rykiel S/S 2014 lookbook featuring Hannah Holman. Sonia Rykiel is a very respected and talented French designer, and we think that Hannah is a perfect model for these cheerful frocks. We discovered Hannah at the mall in Utah, and then launched her modeling career. Hannah has been working as a model for many years now, and hers is one of the most successful careers of any model we have discovered. We love these photos of Hannah and we are proud of everything she has accomplished, and are grateful that we were able to be the ones that started her on this life changing path.

Hazel's Living Her Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Behind the scenes video from one of Hazel's recent shoots

Yesterday our model Hazel Eakman, posted something on her instagram that made us all kinds of happy. She wrote:

hazelgrayeSometimes I have to blink a few extra times to make sure this dream of a life I'm living is real. So thankful for every opportunity I was given in 2015 and so excited for all the opportunities to come in 2016 🤘🏻😄
@fusionmodelsnyc @pulsemgmt

We know when we scout our models, we have the ability and potential to really change the course of their lives. Some of our models end up traveling the world, seeing places and meeting people that they never would have if we never scouted them. We have had a few of our models meet their spouses through their modeling careers, and some of them now have families of their own. It is incredibly rewarding to help people live their dreams, and we absolutely love doing it.

Hazel, when we scouted you in Minnesota, we knew you had so much potential. We have loved seeing you develop as a model and a person during your time in New York City, and we know that you still have many great things ahead both in your modeling career and in your life.

A couple of Behind the Scenes Photos from Hazel's recent shoots

CHANEL N°5: The One That I Want - The Film

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

If you follow our instagram, you saw the above picture posted the other day, and we can't help sharing a little bit more of the story behind the photo. Stacey Eastman, Pulse Management President, loves surfing so much he moved his family to Hawaii so it could be a part of their daily lifestyle. So when we see anything involving surfing and the world of high fashion together? It is like someone else is speaking our language, that we didn't even think other people knew existed. When Gisele Bundchen starred in the campaign for Chanel No. 5 and there was a surfing element to the campaign, we were in fashion heaven, and in case you missed it the video is below.

The only problem with this video is that the surfboards are custom made for the campaign. So we need one of our models to book the next Chanel campaign, and ask Karl to make us one. (Our models have worked for Chanel before so its not too much of a stretch.)

NYFW is Coming Up!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Alisha Judge in Jenny Packham

Now that January is here it means that New York Fashion Week is just around the corner. (Official dates are February 11-18) A new year, a new fashion season, and we will have some new models in New York this year. We are also looking forward to seeing which shows our more experienced models book now that they have had a few seasons to develop their skills.

The above photo is from last February when our model Alisha Judge OPENED the Jenny Packham show. Jenny Packham is one of the best designers out of the UK in a while, and her popularity skyrocketed when the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton herself, started to wear Packham's designs regularly. Having Alisha open such a big show was one of our fashion week highlights last year, and we can't wait to see what this February has in store for us. Stay tuned everyone, we'll keep you all updated here!
