From our first encounter at the model workshop and having the opportunity to coach Bermuda’s models, we have been watching their attitudes, personality, and looks to determine if there are any other models from Bermuda right for Wilhelmina.“We are looking to potentially sign models to one of our three main offices located in Miami, Los Angeles and New York. After careful consideration and watching all the models both on and off the runway, we were able to shortlist six females and one male model for potential contracts with Wilhelmina Models.”
