BOOKER'S VOICE: Ulla Models Amsterdam

polaroids: premier

booker's voice:

Talk with Michael De Bree, Headbooker @ Ulla Models

PR: What does Ulla look for in a model?

MICHAEL DE BREE: We are looking for editorial girls that we can place in Paris/New York/London and Milano. Edgy editorial girls! Great personality is a must these days. So, nice easy going girls.

PR: How important is the hight for a model?
MICHAEL DE BREE: For an international career, it is very important to keep in mind that if you are 1.75 or under (5ft9), it is almost impossible to book shows. And they are crucial for an international career.

PR: Tell us about the first moment you saw Keshia?

MICHAEL DE BREE: The first time I saw Keshia was in the audience from a Model convention. She was watching one of the foreign agents give a kind of lecture about modeling in a big market like New York.
She looked really good, perfect skin.

PR: Did you immediately have an idea of how you wanted to develop her?

MICHAEL DE BREE: When she decided to come to Ullamodels, we had a meeting about her with the other bookers. She needed to get good test photo's and get in perfect shape so she could be presented in the Major markets. Keshia already had a nice dress sense, so we did not need to do anything with that.

Thanks for this! It's always great to hear what the industry has to say, not only the models. Ulla seems to be doing a great job with these new girls!

They're definitely one of the strongest agencies coming from the country and I'm very happy to see they're willing to discuss their work publicly! Great job!

She has a very sweet way about her. I like that.

Also, Ryder, you crack me up. Mainly because when you look at runway pics, you concentrate on the models, whom I never think to look at, and it's such an integral part of the overall piece. Just funny because you are definitely the model expert.
