Irene Marie Management

About Me

IRENE MARIE MODELS:
In 1980, former international fashion model and fashion columnist, Irene Marie opened South Floridaâ€™s first professional modeling agency, a branch of the Paris based City Models. Despite beginning her career with no formal managerial experience Irene would eventually achieve enormous success by using her vision and marketing skills to build her company into one of the most well recognized and successful modeling agencies in America. In 1989 Irene moved her agency from Ft. Lauderdale to South Beach to better serve the demand of her European clients who were interested in the areaâ€™s dichotomy of Art Deco architecture and South Florida beaches.
Driven by the Agencyâ€™s forte in developing new and undiscovered talent (such as Niki Taylor, Jason Shaw, Cindy Taylor, Sabrina & Kelly Aldridge, David Fumero and Amber Smith) the Irene Marie Management Group gave birth to and later invigorated the once nonexistent modeling scene in Florida. Irene Marie is credited with reshaping the image of South Beach from its 1980â€™s dark and dangerous Miami Vice image, to its current chic and fashion forward identity. In 2006 Irene Marie along with MTV launched 8th and Ocean, a television series chronicling the lives of models and staff at the Irene Marie Modeling agency.
Today the Irene Marie Management Group has become more than a talent agency; it is now a recognizable international entertainment brand. Despite its rapid growth, the Irene Marie Management Group continues to pride itself on its overwhelming support of its talent, fosters professionalism and is on the cutting edge of the fashion, modeling and entertainment industries.

Want to know what the high-stakes, competitive world of modeling is really like? You're invited to drop by 8th & Ocean. Deep in the heart of Miami's hot South Beach, ten professional models live together in a beachfront apartment complex, each trying to make their way in a glamorous yet very demanding industry. From the fading star afraid her time has passed to the naÃ¯ve newbie testing her moral limits to the party boy searching for true love, 8th & Ocean shows you the hard work and human drama behind the glossy fashion spreads.
