Wilhelmina coming to Hawaii

An affiliate office of Wilhelmina is Honolulu-bound. Longtime ADR agency owner Ryan Brown signed a licensing agreement with the global modeling powerhouse, and the first model open call will take place Feb. 19 at Windward Mall. I'll have more information closer to the date, but if you have modeling ambitions, it's probably wise to get your portfolio in order.


Wilhelmina Hawaii will open with two divisions, men and women, with plans to add teens and children in fall, encompassing editorial, high fashion, ramp and commercial modeling. The new affiliate will actively scout, develop and produce models for national and international markets, including possible placement Wilhelmina International's corporate offices in Los Angeles, New York and Miami.

Brown has been a Hawaii agent for almost 20 years, and has been the owner of the Screen Actors Guild franchise agency, ADR Agency for 12 years. ADR will continue its operations under agency director Nazarene Anderson.
