Last week, Minneapolis-based modeling agency Vision Management Group announced exciting news - one of its most in-demand models, Ashlee Walker, had been signed to a New York agency. An email to Vision owner Teqen Zéa Aida confirmed the signing agency is DNA - which represents the likes of Linda Evangelista, Amber Valetta, Raquel Zimmermann, Natalia Vodianova, Doutzen Kroes, Tony Ward, Kristen McMenamy, Stella Tennant, and current #1 male model in the world Baptiste Giabiconi. Ashlee had previously been signed to Next agency in New York a year ago, and DNA is a significant step up.
Congrats, Ashlee!
I remember the first time I used her, in a fashion shoot at the new Target Field, her dad came along to chaperone...and ended up playing lighting assistant to our photographer. Big loss for MN runways (and that photographer)!
ReplyDeleteYou realize DNA is not a step up to Next right?
ReplyDeleteI always identified DNA as being a bigger name than Next, what with Evangelista, Valetta, Doutzen, etc. but I suppose in the industry they are about on par.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Ashlee! She is really beautiful and will surely succeed in the fashion world.
