Gabriel Rocha, model manager at Trump, one of NYC’s top agencies, talks to The Cultural Omnivore about his start as a scout in the modelling industry to becoming one of the most well known and respected managers in the business — as well as how Trump differs from other agencies, what it takes to become a great model, and what his biggest passions really are.
A great model has to have a great personality, there’s no way around it. Some of the most successful models in the world are the ones who are playful, who understand fashion, art, etc. The girls who understand that they are a part of the creative process and make the best of their ability to collaborate in that process are the ones who succeed . . . I would advise [models] to be patient and to not give up easily. I’ve seen some of the biggest careers happen after years of struggle and rejection; it happens when the time is right. Oh, and always listen to your agents, of course!
