Ad Description:

NEXT Model Management, with headquarters in New York City and Paris, is the largest modeling network in the world. It has emerged from representing only a few girls in 1989, to representing some of the most prestigious women and men in the fashion world today.

NEXT was founded by Faith Kates in 1989 after she left her successful post as Director of the Women’s Division of Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. A few years later, Kates partnered with Joel Wilkenfeld, who at the time owned Spectrum Model Agency. Similar to Kates’ background, Wilkenfeld was responsible for discovering and developing careers for stars such as Nikki Taylor. Combining Kates’ prowess in marketing and managing models with Wilkenfeld’s proven success in discovering new talent NEXT has become one of the world’s preeminent modeling agencies.
