Based in Paris, New Wave Management (NWM) positions itself as a talent representation agency specializing in the worlds of fashion, luxury, beauty, and contemporary creation. Its name, inspired by the aesthetic and energy of the New Wave movement, perfectly encapsulates its ambition: to reinvent the standards of the modeling and casting industries by spotlighting distinctive, diverse, and meaningful profiles.

A committed and resolutely contemporary vision

Founded in 2019, NWM is a young agency already making a name for itself through its selection of bold, stylistically strong models and creatives. It stands out for its firm commitment to representing a plurality of identities, body types, and backgrounds within the fashion and visual industries.

The agency is driven by core values such as:

Authenticity in the profiles it represents,
Inclusivity as a catalyst for contemporary creation,
Creative independence from homogenized trends,
A strong aesthetic sense rooted in photography, video, and visual storytelling.

Talents with distinctive creative worlds

New Wave Management represents a gallery of talents: models, performers, hybrid faces, artists, and influencers — all united by a shared desire to blur the boundaries of gender, image, and style. The agency’s “boards” spotlight personalities that are both editorial and commercial, able to move fluidly from haute couture runways to beauty campaigns and social content production.

NWM’s talents collaborate with leading houses such as Jacquemus, Mugler, Marine Serre, Jean Paul Gaultier, Saint Laurent, Courrèges, and with major media like Dazed, i-D, Vogue, and Numéro.

Bridging casting, art direction, and production

NWM goes beyond the scope of a traditional modeling agency. It actively contributes to art direction, styling, and the creative development of visual projects. It partners with brands and photographers from the early stages of ideation to provide insightful, forward-thinking casting aligned with contemporary cultural codes.

Thanks to its agile structure, New Wave Management engages in a wide range of projects, including:

Fashion shows and fashion weeks,
Fashion and beauty campaigns,
