Karin Models is a selective, Paris-based modeling agency founded by fashion editor and stylist Karin Roitfeld in 2017. It focuses on scouting and developing young, diverse talent in the fashion industry, emphasizing personal relationships and mentorship. The agency distinguishes itself from larger, more commercial ones by prioritizing unique personalities and long-term careers over immediate commercial viability. Roitfeld's vision is informed by her extensive experience, including her role as editor-in-chief of French Vogue from 2001 to 2011. Karin Models has represented notable new faces in major campaigns and editorials, contributing to greater inclusivity in modeling. It adopts a boutique approach, signing a limited number of models annually after rigorous worldwide scouting, and collaborates closely with Roitfeld's other ventures, such as her biannual magazine CR Fashion Book, enhancing its influence in elite fashion circles.
