Our Mission

Over the past 22 years VNY Models always focused on maintaining a family style hands on approach to building and managing supermodels on a global scale.

We look for models whom we believe have potential for a successful long-term career, but more importantly who will be a good fit in the VNY family. VNY sets itself apart from other agencies by refusing to become a factory. We refuse to resort to the production-line ethos that many lesser agencies succumb to in the industry. Taking less models has been a special ingredient in the success of the agency. Building a family environment where the management team truly cares for the models, has proven to be the optimal path to build a sustainable modeling career. By focusing on building sustainable careers, we do not resort to selling out our models to substandard brands for short term monetary gain. We are more than an agency; we are a family focused on developing sustainable careers with support every step of the way.
