DFN PODCAST WITH LEILA ANTAKLY AND HOW MODEL AGENCIES WORK

By Araceli Gallego

In today´s podcast we have with us Leila Antakly. She is the General Manager of Wilhelmina Dubai, an internationally reputed modelling agency. In the interview, she explains us how she attracts and selects talent and how model agencies work in general. We will speak about what type of models are in demand here, and some model hot topics: as to what happens when the models are too young, or too, too thin. Even we will speak about “embracing the difference” as a marketing tool as we saw recently in NYFW catwalks.

Hit the play button.. You can not miss this amazing interview!
