Modelogic Wilhelmina is a talent agency founded in 1993 by Stacie Vanchieri in Richmond Virginia. Vanchieri, formerly of Long Island, NY, had a photography background with an interest in fashion and design. After working in commercial photography for several years, Vanchieri opened Modelogic Inc. to service the Richmond, Virginia advertising community.
The company quickly grew to become the largest talent agency in the state, launching the careers of Boris Kodjoe, Amy Lemons, Buddy Krueger, Cole Wingo and others.
In 2004, Wilhelmina Models Worldwide approached Modelogic to become one of the first Wilhelmina affiliates in the country.[1] With that partnership, the name of the agency became Modelogic Wilhelmina, and the company continued its expansion with the addition of a development center for new models called Wilhelmina Image. January 2011 saw the opening of the agency's second location in Milwaukee, WI to cater to the Midwest region.
Today, Modelogic Wilhelmina books talent for clients such as Abercrombie & Fitch, JC Penny, Geico, UPS, Walmart, Ruehl, and Circuit City. In 2010, Modelogic Wilhelmina exclusively signed Rozlyn Papa, who has gained notoriety through her appearance on season 14 of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love.
In September 2011, Vanchieri was filmed for the new reality show Scouted, a series documenting the lives of four model scouts and the talent they find and bring to New York.[2] Scouted premieres on November 28, 2011 on the E! network. Veteran modeling agent Michael Flutie is executive producer along with Cris Abrego, Angela Aguilera and 51 Minds.
