Imaging and development is the strength of Wallflower Management. Scouting and developing models will remain a priority. The agency will constantly offer fresh new faces to its clients. The graphics and imaging are bold and edgy, taking inspiration from European fashion publications and street graphics. In addition, the company is going green, preferring to send out all press releases and updates through email and frequent blog posts.
“The difference between Wallflower and other agencies here will be in the imaging,” says Theis, “I have done this my entire career—bringing out the model in every new face. Now, my models will benefit from that expertise”.
“The personal attention I extend to the models, I extend to my clients as well, and I love bringing the two together,” says Gomez.
Located in the idyllic shopping/restaurant destination of McKinney and Knox neighborhood, the agency office is located above Café Madrid and next door to Grange Hall.
More information about Wallflower Management and Wallflower models will be available July 6 at wallflowermanagement.com and wallflowermanagement.blogspot.com. Open calls for new faces will be held at the agency every Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m.
