Irene Marie Management Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irene Marie Models is a high fashion modeling and talent agency founded in 1983 in Ft. Lauderdale Florida by former international fashion model and fashion columnist Irene Marie. In 1989 Irene moved her agency to South Beach to better serve the demand of her European clients who were interested in the area’s dichotomy of Art Deco architecture and South Florida beaches. Driven by the Agency’s forte in developing new and undiscovered talent (such as Niki Taylor, Shana Zadrick and Amber Smith) the Irene Marie Management Group gave birth to and later invigorated the once nonexistent modeling scene in Florida. Irene Marie is credited with reshaping the image of South Beach from its previous dark and dangerous Miami Vice image, to its current chic and fashion forward identity. In 2006 Irene Marie along with MTV launched 8th and Ocean, a television series chronicling the lives of models and staff at the Irene Marie Modeling agency. Today the Irene Marie Management Group has become more than a talent agency; it is now a recognizable international entertainment brand. Despite its rapid growth, the Irene Marie Management Group continues to prides itself on its overwhelming support of its clients, fosters professionalism and is on the cutting edge of the fashion, modeling and entertainment industries.
