A Story: On Valente Fanning, V Management
You do not have to look for long before realising its far-reaching talent pool, eccentric style, and fixed ethic set it apart from the pack. When it comes to mother agencies, V Management’s CEO, Valente Fanning, has done the yards and made a quality run since the agency's conception in 2014.
Kenya Knight is a mother agent. Currently working remotely from Palm Springs, she is far from static. Today, she discovers and develops talent, dedicating her time to holistically supporting her models. Placing someone in a worldwide agency or maintaining the success of an overseas model is no easy task. But she has done that for a while now. Delving into questions of inclusivity, business management and the relationships she holds with her models, Knight shares an informed perspective and helps her models tell a story through their work. She helps them grow and, put simply, be good at their jobs.
