New wallflower: Lily
INTRODUCING...LILY!
We found this freckle faced teen during our weekly open calls (every Wed 2-4pm). The 16-year-old Hockaday sophomore used to play softball, is an athletic trainer at her school, takes Chinese and Russian and loves fashion!
Why do you want to be a model?
I've always wanted to be a model because I always had a different body and I love fashion so much. I love looking at all the magazines, clothes, shopping. Ive always known I wanted to work in the fashion industry. (LUCKILY, Lily is 5 ft. 10 1/2)
What's on your radar?
I love reading Teen Vogue for fashion ideas. I also love shopping at Urban Outfitters. The clothes are very me - relaxed, kind of beaten down, not too frilly or feminine.
How did you find out about Wallflower?
My mom read about it in the Dallas Morning News and I looked at the website and realized, "This is me! I am a 'wallflower'". So we went to the open call and I got signed a few days later. Wallflower Management is for unique girls and I've always been a little different. I'm not a wallflower in the sense that I am quiet or reserved... I just don't look like everyone else.
Favorite model?
I really like Karlie Kloss because she's so young and she has an amazing look. I like Coco Rocha and Lily Cole, because she's another red head.
Dream job?
The ultimate would be opening a show for Marc Jacobs or Chanel.

Press Alert: Texas Monthly
Thanks to Texas Monthly's fashion editor KRISTIE RAMIREZ who spotlighted Wallflower on her blog, Closet Case.
"If you work in fashion in Dallas – or Texas for that matter – you know who Tammy Theis is. She started as a fashion writer at the Dallas Morning News covering trends and the runways of NYC, Milan, and Paris every season. The last few years she’s become the must-have stylist on any fashion shoot worth a flip and has carved out a versatile styling aesthetic that’s sophisticated-modern with edge. Sometimes her work is pure, simple, stark. Other times layered, elaborate, rich. So I was happy to learn that she, along with the darling Brenda Gomez, formerly of Page Parkes, and the why-is-he-so-handsome John Bass, co-owner of Dallas’ Haven and former head of Trump Model Management opened their own model agency on Monday, Wallflower Management. Check out their website with pics of fresh faces and a blog that will keep you updated on which models are working where and who’s being discovered by the new trio in town."

New find: CODY
We spotted 14-year-old CODY standing in line for tickets at a House of Blues concert last week and promptly signed him! The 5'11' blond with green/blue eyes stopped by the agency today after he got his hair cut...
Where do you live?
I live in the Lewisville/Plano area and I start 9th grade in the fall.
What are you doing all summer?
Well I have to get up every day at 8:30 to run and lift weights for football practice. I also play soccer and run track.
What's on your iPod?
Lots of rap and hip-hop. I love Lil' Wayne. But I also like Rise Against, it's more alternative.

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.
